- The art and the setting of this one grabbed my interest. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to figure out the gameplay, or how to progress. I'm not sure how much content or story the game contains, but as is I could only read the descriptions of everything around the room, and sew a suit. Once I made that suit nothing seemed to happen, leaving me feeling lost and confused. Was I just missing something? Or had you run out of time and this is all there was? If it was a case of the game being incomplete, it'd definitely have been good to mention that on the submission page or in the game. I found the suit sewing system to be very confusing. I guess a lesson to take away here is that gameplay and mechanics should be in service of the greater experience. It felt like there was a desire to tell a story here, but because of the clunky mechanics I couldn't experience that. High fives for the eye catching art and the interesting setting!

Wow, we got lost in this world - we’ve never wanted to be a mob bosses more! So immersive and aesthetically rewarding. We struggled a bit to figure out how to get going initially.
The art and style is immaculate! A lot is going on visually however so I might suggest having everything interactable white and everything else in the background a light grey tone to help guide the player. I managed to make it to the newspaper by clicking about and wasn't sure if I reached the end so I'd suggest making that a bit clearer.
Otherwise I loved the lil twist at the end, "good riddance" :)
Great art! I found the mechanics a bit wonky initially, but once I actually understood what to do , it was fine.
I enjoyed the concept and the art style but I ran into the bug of not being able to progress past the first bit of suit on the mannequin.
Pretty cool idea, I think I got the same bug. But no problem, will play the game again and do as instructed. The drawings is so dope in such a short timeframe. Well done
Liked the art style, would have been cool if the suits you tailored were maybe colored or stood out a bit more to highlight their specialty. The music was fitting to the style and feel of the game. I got stuck fairly soon after starting, and majority of the dialogue was cut off (possibly a UI scaling issue? - I was playing on my laptop)
Visually, amazing! I got stuck at some point not knowing where to click or how to continue the story, but the dialogue is witty, a lot of love went into this, awesome stuff!

Thanks so much!
I think the game broke for me too but the music complimented the art style extremely well.
Another note to avoid break: Interact with characters before objects for clues on how to advance. As scenes change, text on interactable objects does too (might help).
NOTES TO AVOID GAME BREAK:
In the intro, do not interact with the shop sign before making a suit.
same goes for the 2nd scene where the mobster arrives and asks you to make 3.
Basically, if you didn't manage to get to the newspaper at the end, it probably broke lmao.
ALSO forgot to scale UI *SIGH*
Very unique and cool! I think the tutorial got broken for me so I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do but I really like the art and audio! Writing wise, wasn't too sure, probably because I didn't get much of it, due to the tutorial breaking. Good job!
Hey! Thanks for giving it a go! I'm curious what happened? If you press space to skip through the tutorial dialogue you should be able to skip it, but it would break by interacting with the shop sign before you make a suit
I might have clicked on something I guess.
