I did need to hit that hints document a couple of times - thanks! Terrific endgame.

Beautiful, compelling narrative arc that I was immediately invested in; enjoyable little puzzles that kept the sense of agency alive without hindering the story.

(Full disclosure: I haven’t figured out how to unjam the doors yet, but I’m prepared to believe it’s pretty cool.)

I am always prepared to love an explore-a-haunted-house game. This one is nicely executed; as someone who has lost the habit of keeping a notebook handy when playing games, I appreciated the touch of the notebook with your map and quests in it. The descriptions are evocative, the creator has anticipated a lot of the actions a player might take, and the puzzles - at least, the ones I’ve managed to solve - make logical sense and don’t rely on guess-the-verb.

This morning I spent a good chunk of my bus ride to the office trying to think of ways to unjam the door. None of my ideas worked, but it’s fun to be that pulled into a game. Hopefully walkthrough after jam is over!

The increasing dread as the narrative shifts from relatively low-stakes interpersonal drama, to an fight with the unknown, is nicely crafted. Choices made early on play out satisfyingly in the endgame. Feels complete, but also open-ended.

Fantastic! The slowly-unfolding narrative was really effective and moving, and really conveyed the still-tentative optimism of Union. Great use of “Dover Beach” woven into the story, too.

Sweet, took me right back to skateboarding when I was 13! I broke my wrist two days in, but still remember it as fun even though I never got very good.

Thank you so much for playing, and your kind words! I actually spent a couple of hours thinking about more puzzles, but ultimately I privileged finishing that first segment of the story instead.

I don’t know whether I love Zeblek or the snail rave more. Also, too, goblins defending their turf is always my jam.

This was loads of fun! It feels like the game of an anime series that I would watch the heck out of.

Wow, thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully I will continue the storyline at some point, whether in Bitsy or some other format.

Awesome. I heart the Ork Therapist!

Nice! I like the Realm of Impossibility-esque aesthetic, and the goblins popping in and out - so subtle to start out!

Thank you!

Thanks! I probably spent the largest amount of time working on the backgrounds, so I definitely appreciate that feedback.

Thank you!
