This was a lot of fun once I managed to figure out why I couldn't start the game x3 I felt like such an idiot, haha. Basically, I always fullscreen stuff at the first available opportunity, and for whatever reason, when I did that, it cut off part of the top of the screen and I didn't realise >.< So I was basically missing the start game menu option, haha. I managed to get it back by resizing the window anyhow! It just took some fiddling around. I was worried I was gonna have to ask you guys how to start the game, and then I would've felt even dafter xD
Anyways, I love the energy in this! The art style is cool, the story is a lot of fun and made me smile, the voice acting is brilliant (I especially love Phoebe x3), and it's just a lot of fun overall! I haven't exhausted anything close to all of the choices yet, but I've enjoyed what I've seen so far :3

Oh but, do tell me. Was this in browser, or in PC version?? I guess it was in PC, since I just tried that out. Thank you for letting me know this! That shouldn't be happening lol
So glad you could enjoy the game anyway after that tho!! And about voice acting, haha, you read their names, I think you know them xD
As for options, well... whenever you can pick Phoebe for stuff like the coffee... you wanna do it ;)
Ah, man, I'm an idiot cos I really should've said which version I was playing earlier x3 but yeah, it was windows PC download rather than browser!
Honestly, I have had so many UI issues with Unity it drives me insane T_T I don't know how you guys even manage to use the stuff you use and get things working so well! I've got Naninovel, which helps, but the UI problems are still a big terror for me xD The auto-scaling almost never works for me >.< I beg, and I beg, pleeeease just scale the way you're supposed to... but it refuses to play ball and I'm not a proper programmer, so I've had to resort to forcing 16:9 fullscreen as the only supported option >.<
Oooh, yeah, well, I only know Lauren and Jerron, who were both an absolute pleasure to work with last year ^-^ Both blow me away every time I hear em in something cos the versatility in their voices is insane! :D The whole cast in this sounds great though :3
I see :o intriguing! On first playthroughs, I tend to kinda make snap decisions as fast as I can without thinking too much about where they might lead just to kinda go in blind and end up with whatever my gut gets me to x3 But I tend to give it more thought when I go back through stuff!
Actually, I should have said earlier as well, regardless of my love for Lauren's epic voice acting talent, I'd still pick Phoebe as a fave, and that's quite unlike me cos I almost always prefer masculine characters in stuff! So just goes to show Phoebe is best gal <3 I feel like if I'd had someone like that around when I was at school many years ago, I wouldn't have endured so much school-related trauma xD
Hey, you're cool! Asked because I myself had trouble with the browser version lol
Unity is a butt pain, and you have UI problems with it because Unity is a twat that makes sure no one uses it for ever and ever everyday :P Also, we use it becausae Zach, our programmer, is a wizard that pulls an entire system from scratch just to tell unity to behave xD But yes, considering on switching to Ren'Py. Even during this jam, we considered it, but since Jam Garden in general has experience with fmod + unity, we went with that.
Haha, I kid you not, I recognized Jerron's voice... from The Graveyard Shift. I was like... hey wait, where were you on last year's spooktober? And then realized lol But yes, ALL of them were great, and a breeze to work with, couldn't be happier about our VA talent's, both them as persons and in their work, just marvellous.
As for your last coment... YES. Phoebe is, narratively, a force of nature. She bends the plot to her very will, ALLWAYS to help others. Fills me with joy reading that because yes, that's exactly what I thought when I began writing her. She's your guide, your friend, and will pummel any twat that crosses your way in a bad manner xD
Ah! The troubles never end T_T haha.
Well, I guess it’s good to know that it’s not just me xD I always just feel so incompetent, haha. And well, Zach must indeed be a wizard because I don’t think I could get Unity to do the things I want it to do in a million years x3 Switching over to something else must be a pain in the butt too though >.< I’ve been tempted many a time to try and learn how to use Ren’Py as well, but I don’t like change, haha. So atm, I’m sticking with the devil I know!
Oh, man, that's amazing that you recognised Jerron’s voice from that xD especially considering Jerron was in a whole host of spooktober games last year, haha. I managed to fail at my task to play everything from last year’s jam, and I feel like it’s gonna happen again this year too T_T there’s just not enough time in the world.
Tbh, I’m very lucky that my best friend has aspects of Phoebe in her, haha, but if I wanted to say that to her as a compliment, I’d have to get her to play the game because if I just show her the picture of the character on the game page, she might take it the wrong way xD
