Thank you so much for your kind words <3
Thankfully, the idea came to me the same day the theme was revealed and I was able to dedicate my full time to it for the week.
Yeah, the game only has some existential dread, more depression/anxiety than horror if anything. Still, when I was messing around with the pixel art on day 1, I immediately thought the exagerrated smile was so striking, it had to be front and center. :D Glad you gave it a chance :)
I'm really happy you enjoyed it! Makes me really happy to see I can create something people enjoy, and I am really thankful for you taking the time to play, finish it and leave a comment <3
