Need your opinion on sound and furniture update (+ other sad trash)

So ive been doing some high intensity brain shattering thinking, and I realized what the problem with my game is: its terrible. But what makes it terrible? I did some more excruciatingly soul crunching thinking, and I have figured it out: theres no sound. Good games have sound. This game has no sound, so therefore it is bad. It also turned out its very bland. Apparently adding no decorations or furniture into a bunch of concrete rooms isnt that fun. Who would have guessed (I did, due to my superior intellect). So I decided I was going to basically recook the entire game by adding a bunch of furniture and other cool decorations that make the game feel less like a bunch of primitives thrown together and more like a bunch of primitives thrown together with at least some care. Thats going to take a while (I plan on completing this by December 18th) But its kinda hard to add that sort of stuff because of a few reasons:

1. I have schizophrenia, and autism, and tourettes, and probably a bunch of other stuff I dont know about. My mental instability makes is very difficult to even get the motivation to work on anything. But my logical thinking is stronger than anything life can throw at me. I WILL get this game completed, and people WILL play it. No matter what.

2. People are being really mean to me and disliking my videos a bunch and I dont know why. They also lied to me and tried to set me up. I know who is doing it I just dont understand why they would do this to me:



3. Losing the ones I love. Carl died. My cat died. People are telling me they are happy my cat died. I cant handle my friends and family dying anymore... I cant handle people making fun of their death anymore... and to top it all off...



My best friend Honey has cancer, and is going to die. I have to constantly spend alot of my time trying to convince her not to kill herself...



She changes her name and profile picture frequently, in case you were wondering.

4. I might become homeless. After years of living in a trailer sharing a room with my mom and my sister (until a month before my 15th birthday) we finally bought a house where I got my own room. But theres a problem. In the basement, there is a drain, and lately it has done the exact opposite of draining. Some guys showed up and shoved a camera snakey boi through the pipes and found out that tree roots are splitting the pipe open. They offered to fix it for a measly $9,000. We cant afford burger king how are we supposed to pay $9,000 to stop constant flooding right outside of my room. I guess we could just sell the house and move. Oh wait... nobody wants a house with flooded pipes. So yeah we are very screwed on that front. Still dont know what were gonna do.

5. My computer is trash. Self explanatory. My computer is a terrible chromebook laptop with slightly less than 2 gigs of ram (1.89 to be exact). Sometimes it does weird black box glitchy stuff and I have to restart it. Oh and one time it just decided it was going to factory reset itself for no reason. I lost my DATA.

6. I am a lazy sack of trash. Whenever im not begging Honey to stay alive, I usually just end up watching youtube or playing war thunder for hours. How am I supposed to get any work done when I am so flipping lazy and cant seem to find the willpower to do anything related to stealing ravioli. And for some strange reason, im always tired. I dont know why, probably everything in my life draining me in every way possible.

Anyway, enough of that garbage nobody cares about. Sorry about going off topic like that. I hope this post doesnt get deleted cuz im a dramatic idiot. Now to get to the important stuff. The reason I am making this post is because I want your opinion. I have already added a sound when you collect the ravioli, and a few background noises in some levels (you can see the result of that , along with the fully furnished level 1 here: https://playcanv.as/p/eqIPrUde/. I also added some background music in the first level as a test), but I was wondering if I should have any background music for the levels without general background sounds like wind and stuff like that. Or should I just keep the ambient background noises and keep the game "realistic" (at least as realistic as a game about stealing ravioli can get).  If you think I should add some music, tell me what kind you think would fit, and if you have any specific song recommendations, and if you do have a recommended song PLEASE make sure its copyright free. I really dont feel like dealing with a lawsuit right now. If you have any furniture or decoration ideas feel free to send them. Also, if you would like to help, that would be great. I dont know how you could help but if you somehow do I would appreciate it. Oh I guess you could make some art for the gallery or something like that.

BTW THOSE WHO HELP WILL GET THEIR OWN RAVIOLI IN THE GALLERY, THE HIGHEST HONOR IN THE GAME.

Hey, it's okay to ask for help when you're in trouble. And it sounds like you have a lot of it. Sorry to hear that. Dunno what else to say.

I tentatively moved this topic to Get Feedback because it's still about your game in the end. Let's see... Yeah, audio makes a big difference, and it can be tricky to find the right stuff for your game if you're not already into music and/or SFX creation. Some of my games only have one or the other, or neither. Look around anyway, often you can find something that fits well enough. Sometimes more than well enough. If you can't find what you're looking for on Itch, try Open Game Art. It's a great resource, and also a great community. Good luck, and don't despair!
