Aw, that was fun! What a great first project. I like a game that rewards curiosity. I'm glad you shared it!

Thank you it! It was a joy to make <3

When people say "slice of life story" this is the slice I'm looking for 😂 Compelling and stylish, I very much enjoyed it. I'll take an extra serving of gay longing, please

Aww, that was hekkin fun. What a nice idea! And now I'm hungry...

Got the smile 😎

An enjoyable experience! The narrative offered a timid invitation to get to know it better and I'm glad I took the time to do so. 

Fictional characters have such a special way of holding up a mirror to ourselves--not only can they become us, they can show us a way forward. A way out.

Thank you for your efforts to leave this comment. These kind of moments are exactly the reason I write and it's truly meaningful to me to know how you connected with this story.

Haha, thanks. I had fun embracing the weird with this one

They were well hidden!

<3

Great vibes and story on this one!

Yay! I got to finish it today <3 Such a lovely game. I could spend ages with a game like this. Thank you for making it!

I put on some lofi beats, booted this up and it was a perfect way to...procrastinate working 😅 This is incredibly charming and quite relatable

Observation Duty as interactive fiction! What a neat idea! I've played a lot of OD and this captured that same feeling of "look at everything! pay attention!" Also those great OD moments when the anomaly is obvious--open eyes, see chair on ceiling, slam green button. Incorporating taste into the exploration was an hilarious addition. 

I would love to see this as a longer game and I'd say there's room to grow both the horror and comedy elements framing like this can produce. To me, the repetition and anti-climactic ending are hallmarks of this genre and felt fine. I'm going to play again and see if I can find more weirdness!

Oh, dang! That took some twists! I'm definitely intrigued. I liked the way the scroll of text evoked the sense of the pit. I've only found a couple "endings" so far but I'm looking forward to seeing what else is going on with this story

Oh, thank you! I'm glad you connected with it

"Congratulations, you broke the lamp."

That cracked me up. An enjoyable experience! I liked the style and the vibe. I found a couple endings and had a good time doing it

"The gods have deemed you worthy, why can't you accept their judgement?"
Love that question and the way you engaged with the idea of shame and self-image. An interesting work in general and a hekkin impressive accomplishment for getting done in 5 hours. Nice work!

Oh, what a lovely game! The setting is eerie and beautiful and the story is engaging. Unfortunately, I experienced a critical error!! It looks like line 703 the error is "NameError: name 'dog_growling' is not defined". Despite the error, I very much enjoyed this

What an absolutely delightful experience. It was a real treat to virtually explore a location I probably won't get to in life. I found it engaging and interesting. Thank you for sharing!

Oh, bless you, thanks. I rushed through getting the game posted and probably missed a lot of details 😅

Thank you! I'm glad  you enjoyed it

This was the base template: https://gamesbyalbie.itch.io/character-page-tutorial
Though not much beyond the basic structure survived. I was very new to Twine when I made the game

A good balance of tension in a tough conversation. I enjoyed playing this

A good bit of tension, well-done!

Such an impactful game <3

FOOD! 😍

Whoa! This was great! A bizarre, unsettling eldritch adventure. Very well done.

This was super fun and charming! I had a good time with the stories. My favorite (unintentional?) spooky bit was when I tried to TALK TO SELF (because I do that in every parser, just in case) and got the response that I could only talk to living beings. I'm a spooky undead! 😂

Thank you for playing my story!

What a fun story! I did spend most of my time petting animals, which gives this game a 10/10. Suzette was a fun lens to explore this world through.

Weird west let's goooooooo! Dang this is haunting and beautiful. Great work!

Thanks for playing and I'm happy you enjoyed it!

There's something I've been trying to achieve in fiction for a while that this game does really well--the sudden genre shift! It works really well here and there's a surreal, dissociative vibe throughout the whole story. Incredible amount of content for 4 hours! Love it

ME TOO 😭

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it

Thank you, Manon! <3 Sorry for messing up your feelings XD

Thank you! It was fun to play around with narrative and player perspective

This is so much fun to play. A great mix of campy comedy horror with some gruesome moments scattered throughout. I've only gotten 5 of the endings so far but I'm excited to keep playing.

Thank you for playing and for such lovely words!
