Me after playing: **HOLY CRAP**
I do stand by the fact that I really dug the art style. The simplistic graphics were really effective at delivering the story, and I love how you mixed this with the black screen and text. Gameplay itself is pretty basic but I get that it only serves to move the story along. Once I got the hang of it, it was just about doing the same routine over and over, though the change in atmosphere is what initiates me to keep going because I'm curious as to what happens next.
There's a couple of issues that stood out to me, one being that I don't understand how this relates to the theme? I guess the genres being combined here aren't necessarily game genres, but even with that in mind, it doesn't seem that far off from being **SPOILER** a dystopian plot. Is it the fact that it was portrayed with chunky pixels?
The control scheme feels a bit wonky as well, but maybe I'm just too used to interacting in other games being mapped to a key that requires you to use an entirely different hand. Nevertheless, it did not detract from the overall experience/mood, which is definitely this game's strong point.
Still considering the games I played this game has the best atmosphere.
It's kinda confusing at the beginning though, but it's the intrigue that's good.
Also you have not considered that the player can interact with the bed, before doing any house chores, and progress to the next stage without seeing any signs or shadows.
Please, take a look at my game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/confessional
