I went into this expecting a simple little shooter but man did that story catch me off guard. Amazing job of setting the tone and easing it into a whole new genre by the end.

Really great job! I was a bit spoiled on the big twists by seeing it on stream, but watching it all unfold with the rest of chat really added to the experience for me. Wanted to come back and play it again properly and finally got the chance. Great work! Such an interesting fit for the jam’s rules and so amazingly touching.

One of the most moving games I've played ever. I like how there are little hints that something other than slime slaying are going on, and once Erika's storyline started weaving into the game I was really invested. 

By the end of the story I was in total goosebumps and really felt a bit of resonance with Erika, having taken a "safer" path of Business Management and IT back then over Graphic Design, then years later just being sick of my life before now going back to my roots more with art.

One of the truly beautiful examples of a story that can only be told through the medium of video games. Only thing I didn't figure out was the ticket that costs 50 gold, I couldn't figure out where to use it.

Really well thought through interpretation of the jam's theme, rules and restrictions. The writing is professional quality. Definitely better than games I have paid for!

This was a mind bender in both gameplay and story. It was very clever but also very touching. This one stuck with me for a while.

Incredibly emotional and poignant. So well executed and the message really does mean something to me. So much praise for this, you really knocked it out of the park!

This game reminds me of why I love making games; telling stories that are only possible through this medium. Might be my favorite experience of the year!

Some of the best writing in this jam. It really resonated with me and had me in tears. I love it.

This game... damn... I enjoyed a lot of the games this year, this one took root in my heart and made me weep. It's a reminder that as we get older we always ALWAYS have to keep a part of our child selves alive... the story of Erika resonated so deep with me, I was in that position myself once... just stuck in a job going through the motions devoid of joy. Fortunately I found my escape in making my music - something just for me that i will NEVER turn into a job. And here I am contributing to the game jam in my own unique way with my music, keeping that youthful part of me alive, sparking joy, and isn't that the core of why we do this game jam? Never let them grind you down, find your joy! STAY WEIRD!

Thank you so much for this <3

Things took a turn. Nice subversion of expectations.

Went in expecting to blast slimes with foam,  did not expect all those deeper layers. I'm sure Melanie would love this. Nice work!

This was a wonderful experience.  If im being completely honest, i wasnt really feeling it in the first bit.  but by the end i was in full on tears.  you made something really interesting and touching, and i truly appreciate being able to play it

Really enjoyed it, went places I wasnt expecting.
