Love the hand drawn sprites! Wish there was a bit more variety in them, but it's clear you put in a lot of effort.

Wow, NOT JUST A STUPID TRADITION left me wanting more! The first two chapters are a journey full of intrigue and tension, and the story really pulls you in from the start. The atmosphere and visual design perfectly convey that dark, mysterious vibe. 

I was impressed by how the story escalates from a simple family tradition to something much more sinister. The pacing is also really well done; those 40 minutes just flew by. I’m excited to see the story unfold in the next chapters. I’d definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a well-told horror tale!
