Thank you so much! 😁 That picking up items bug is the worst.. I will upload the fixed version right after the ratings! if you stick around you'll see how it ends haha 😄! thank you!
Thank you so much! 😁 Yeah maybe I should take one more thing out of the Minit book by making the restart button a trigger on the controller or something so that its not pressed accidentally.. actually I pressed it accidentally a lot while testing haha 😄 stopping the time whenever a dialogue starts seems like a good thing to do! (But maybe if you have to spend time to talk with the NPCs, it means you can dedicate a loop or two just for one person or event, which might be good too)
Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the feedback! 😁
I will make sure to let the player know the goal, and the bug of not being able to pick things up is so frustrating :/ Thank you so much! I will be working on an update so it works as intended right after this week!
What a cool idea! Reminds me a lot of Minit which I absolutely adore. I think there's a great foundation for what could be an amazing game with a bit more time in the oven. I ran into a bug on my first playthrough where the text wouldn't show. The second playthrough I ran into a bug where I couldn't pick anything up. Then that's when I noticed that there's no way to exit the game that I'm aware of so I had to Alt-F4. Maybe that's because I was using a controller? I restarted the game and the text glitch happened again but I remembered about the cat so I was able to beat it really quick which was awesome! I'm assuming I beat it though because I smashed the clock, but the game froze and the text box was blank.
Anyway, I think the game is a great idea! I love that it can be beaten in a minute once you've gathered all the info you need. Good luck on the rest of the jam!
thank you! Yes, I love Minit too! and I was trying so hard to differentiate this game from it as much as I can 😁
I feel the same way too, thank you. I plan on expanding this idea 😁
unfortunately, I've spent the entire day today trying to solve this bug but I still haven't figured out why it happens :/ the only way to get past it is to restart the whole game (like turn it off and then back on again) as you did with Alt+F4
There's no way to pause or quit the game once you're inside (sorry) haha!
Actually once you've broken the clock if you take a closer look on what happens outside of the Inn, you might find something happening.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, actually you can beat the game in multiple ways and at different times if you've gathered all the info!
Good luck to you too! 😄
