Great job! This one feels very... feature complete (I don't know if that's the right word). It has a clear beginning, middle and end, a progression through multiple areas, dialogue that is well written and actually witty/funny, all topped off with a heart-warming ending. The weird, distorted character designs are both ugly and charming, and despite it being mostly humorous, a few moments are genuinely a bit unnerving. Great sound design, too! And I loved the visual jokes, like the camera ominously zooming in on the VHS tape whenever you interact with it.

I don't know; despite the default RPGmaker tiles, it really feels like a full package, if that makes sense. Very solid showing!

Thank you for the review! Made perfect sense! The VHS zoom-ins was honestly my favorite bit hehee.

I loved the humor and the surreal/weird horror. The art style is so sweet, I wish I could see more of this little guy. Great job overall!

Developer

Thank you so much, glad you liked the art!

This one stood out to me as I am a huge fan of RPG Maker projects that really explore the potential of the medium, and for such a short experience, this manages to do so in spades.

The first thing that grabbed me was the design of the characters. Each one, even those placed in inaccessible areas, just exude charm and intrigue that gave me a very clear sense of who they are, even before interacting with them. My favorite was probably the guard, whose clenched teeth and eyeless face hidden behind a magazine gave off such a perfect vibe of "flunky barely engaged in their work" while still giving off an air of legitimate menace.

I also enjoyed the writing a lot, especially with how well it fit with the absurd and unique tone of the visuals and narrative while being infused with authentically amusing humor and, in the conclusion, sentimentality. Humor can be an incredibly hard thing to pull off, but this consistently landed for me and had me smiling throughout.

I am struggling to think of anything negative about the experience. I would've liked there to have been something more to heeding the receptionist's warning and trying to exit the video world I suppose, but that would just be icing on an already excellent cake. Perhaps that's the one downside, I could have happily spent so much more time in this little world, but that's to be expected of a game jam.

Also would have liked to be able to comfort the ground whenever I liked, but otherwise, excellent game, definitely a favorite!

Hello again Mog! Thank you for the review, it means a lot!

Pretty charming character art and dialogue. I like the simplicity of the whole thing.

I got confused in that void with the eye and the cage though. I got lost and my walking speed made it a bit tedious to get around. That section looked awesome though and reminded me of Yume Nikki.

You've made me aware of something very very bad. VERY VERY BAD! 

That slow walking segment, you're only supposed to move right or left, not up or down...it was supposed to be short because I am very impatient.

I FORGOT TO PUT INVISIBLE WALLS IN THE WORST PLACE I COULD HAVE FORGOTTEN! IT MUST HAVE BEEN SO CONFUSING!!

THE ROOM IS SO BIG TOO OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT!

I would have missed this after the jam too, because I am not very smart. Thank you so much for the review and bringing awareness to this problem!

I really liked this a lot! The writing and designs are great. It really does feel like something from an animated series (haven't really seen Courage so I can't comment on that lmao), or something made by early Jhonen Vasquez. I'm very curious for whatever you'll make next!

Thank you thank you!

Really simple gameplay but makes up for it with sheer charm. It almost feels a bit like a Courage the Cowardly Dog episode with the humor and the occasional (and surprisingly effective) scare.

Courage was EXACTLY the vibe I wanted to go for! That makes me so happy thank you so much!!!
