Pros:
- Nice puzzle-y elements
Cons:
- Quite fidgety and harsh
On the one hand there are nice little moments like gathering the bones for the dog to get at the present in its house, and then on the other there's a maze where the vision of the player is so reduced it's practically blind. The solution for the kitchen is also a bit of a twist given that there's no indication that the stove is interactable or requires a button press (I think I activated it with the spacebar but it could also just have been by touch). Overall it's a solid if short game, but I became pretty frustrated with it when I was discovered while no one's bars were full and forced a reset, or attempting to poke at the present in the kitchen to figure out the solution also caused an instant failure. Polish in stealth games is pretty crucial because the genre is so focused on expectations of the player that when anything unexpected happens it feels like the game is cheating. All that whining aside, this is a nice and solid first entry to jams, so all that other stuff will come in time. Keep it up!
