Oh dear... Oh dear... Quest of Life Modern Age...
- Ok, let's start with the positive: the presentation is pretty much flawless and that's definitely the strongest part about this game. It's beautiful to look at. The story is interesting and you have the feeling your choices can have an impact on it.
- You can't interact with the bath from here. Small detail, but worth mentioning.
- There is mistakes almost everywhere in the text. Also, there is diminutives? Why not write things in full?
- No text saying I shouldn't go there for that specific path? Again a detail, but it's a bit inconsistent compared to other paths in the game.
- The game... is awfully repetitive. This is not fun. Cut the repetitions, get the player where he have to get to: "Go to work? Yes. *gets teleported to work or an event triggers on the way there*", it would make the game so much more bearable.
- Wait WTF? I made sure to be above 50 % hunger and had over 1000$! The conditions were met! And yet, the game - despite acknowledging at first we had enough - tells me I didn't had enough money for the both to escape anyway? That's bullshit! And frustrating! What happened? Also there is a message that told Alice didn't made it... but she did? this ending makes no sense! What just happened?
*sigh* Well, this game have its strong points, but the further you play, the more you realize how clunky it truly is. The inconsistencies are small details. The constant broken English break the immersion. The repetition ruins the fun. And the ending makes no sense, telling one thing and its exact opposite.
With that said, I still wish you a good luck in this game jam.
