I don't think Finlay and Naoki know how much I love them. Please add a button that allows me to tell them how much I love them.

My serious review is that I love the characterisation of Fin/Naoki's relationship from the dialogue alone, and the way you managed to imbue a house with so much personality is amazing! I love how the house's sass dropped some hints about where to go.
Cat's character designs are so good and the aesthetics were really beautiful and perfectly suited for the atmosphere you were creating. Awesome game design. Just really, really cool all around, please be proud of yourselves!
Thank you SO much for the review. It really warms my heart to hear how much you enjoyed the characterization. I will convey your love for the duo to the rest of the team and we'll imagine that you liked Naoki's video about the house. ;)
Cat actually only designed Finlay! Cheririm designed Naoki and the monster designs, and the ghosts are my characters. (Fun fact: those ghosts also feature in the other game jam I wrote, No Need for Best.)
I would not only like the video and subscribe to Naoki's channel, I would even hit the notification bell 😳
CHERIRIM I'M SO SORRY FOR MY ILLITERACY!!!!!!!!! You pulled off a deeply endearing art style and I adore the expressions you chose for the mini Fin and Naokis on the text side of things! (I don't know video game terms help....)
And SpeedyDoggo I'll say it again but in a different way, I truly love the way you brought these characters to life, they felt like they could be my friends ♡
Wishing the best for you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
