Pretty music and cool sfx.  Peter alluded to this, but controls labeled in intro section and highlights for interactables would be useful for the player. 


Really cool depth perspective, so simple but really adds a lot to the world, felt like walking through a 1950s painting.

Nice graphics, Charming little game with cool sound design too :) Love the retro sound effects!

Interesting world! I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)

I love the art but I can't seem to click to interact with anything!

Hi! Thanks for giving the game a try! I got a few comments with feedback that it’s not obvious on what to do, so I added a few hints in the description.

If you walk to end, there is a zombie in red, who drops a lighter if you bark at her. You can use the lighter to ignite something.

Ah nice I played through again and finished it. Cute ending. If the interactable objects had a small highlight or border on mouse over that would sort that small issue out!

I agree! Something to keep in mind for my next project, thanks!
