LOVED this SO much!!! The story was so genuine and lovely, the sprite animations were adorable, the music so mellow and fit surprisingly well with the overall mood and scene of the game. I adored playing through it-it was such a fantastic adventure and experience. I would love to see more that you and the team produce in the future--Definitely one of my favorites in the entire jam.
If you'd like to see my reaction/full play through, I have a VOD of my stream of it below (starting at around 2 hours 10 min)

Thank you for sharing this game with us!
Gosh, I loved every single minute of this--my favorite game of the jam so far, and honestly one of my favorite indie visual novels I've played overall! 💚 The premise reminds me of the film Night On Earth, albeit with more of a cohesive storyline--the writing is well-paced, witty, and tight; the art design is playful and cozy; the music and sound design elevate the scenes in an organic way. Absolutely phenomenal; thank you to the team for creating such a delightful experience! ✨
love the pixel art style, great game!
Well done! I loved the art! Also, great idea to K.O. your story writer. Congratulation on that thumbnail of yours, it really seems to work.
I think this is a top game of the jam so far for me! You've really created a beautiful little anthology of human moments (and inhuman ones!), and the Driver's character slots in to it all so naturally. The writing feels really strong, especially for such a tricky one to pull off with such heart, and the graphics are all really effectively used. Music feels natural as well - everything combines to a really great feeling game! Huge congrats all around!!!
Popping back in to say congrats on the jam win!!! Hugely deserved!
Hi everyone, thanks for all the feedback so far! I haven't really been replying to comments, but know that I do read everything and have been forwarding comments so that those on the team who are not as active on itch.io can see them as well. I'm going to have to find some time to try out some of the other submissions, but anyways, enjoy all the Spooktober games!
Very lovely overall! The tutorial felt natural, esp with how it was framed and with the 'i just work here buddy' vibe Boss gives. All of the customers were endearing in their own way, and the last client... love them, absolute peak
also: quasooooooooooooo
Don't have a bad thing to say about this game. It was a very fun and comfy adventure.
This game reminds me of one of my faves : Neo Cab. I was thinking we needed more games like this. Love the supernatural passengers!
Outstanding game, exactly my kinda jam. Love the final passenger.
great visuals and great writing! the connection between the different passengers made it really fun to see where things were going in the story. overall, a really solid and sweet game!
Awesome visual novel with great storytelling. I love all the little easter eggs that you can get from the coffee scenes, the comment you get when you click on the stairs for the first time was peak comedy. The character designs were truly distinct and I loved both the human characters as well as the supernatural, especially some of the subtle effects like the ghost girls slight translucence. The pixel art style and the way the text comes out gave everything a very tangible retro feel. The game had a great bit of comedy and the dramatic moments hit right in the feels with an excellent balance between the two. I think your creation team did an excellent job. I wish you all successful careers and hope you all keep making great gaming experiences.
