The game looks pretty interesting! Very nice for 3 days!

I'd suggest switching the colors of the options, because I assumed the darker color was the confirm (yes and no turned around).

I also found a small bug, I accidentally clicked again when brushing my teeth and got another pop up. This kind of broke my game, whenever i tried going into the toilet I saw this:

And it would just put me back to tiny mode.. Hope you get this fixed so others won't have the same issue!

Again, looks very nice!

I ran into a bug that prevented me from continuing- no matter which option I select here it doesn't actually do anything- and I can't back out of the option menu, effectively freezing my game.

That being said: Wow! Good use of the theme, the art is uniform and the actual closeup of the face is REALLY great. The flavor text on everything was humorous and the overall tone was really well setup.

Really enjoyed the game, I'm not too much into horror games but this one felt really right all the way! I liked the use of the theme and the new surprises every time and what an end o_o great work on building expectations and play with it ;)
Impressed by the amount of work there too, very good job! :D

Nice narrative, apparently it's meant to be horror although I didn't really feel the scary or disturbing elements. The glitchy dream was great though.

Wow, I'm not sure what I just played. It's confusing as hell. It captures the theme perfectly. Great job!

Haven't seen any psychedelic games on LD before. Nice graphics and music! There are also *strange* collision boxes somewhere, but its okay. Great job!

Insane! This is probably my favorite jam game so far. Gives me a lot of Yume Nikki/Moon Rpg vibes, and those are my favorite. The atmosphere is super thic and scary, the sounds were very good and of course the graphics are neat as fuck. Only thing is that maybe the walking controls are a bit unbalanced, seems like when you release one of the arrow keys the character will still be moving for some seconds. Other than that, awesome job!

Oh shucks I'm commenting again. Really enjoyed the gameplay and general tone. Feels nicely focused on the theme too, just right. Great work!

I only got about 4 layers deep, but I can see where this is going and it's pretty cool. Making your text selection could be clearer, the colour change felt inverted to me, so an arrow or something would be cool. Something that drove me a bit nuts was that I couldn't stand still and turn, so if I want to turn in place I need to walk away and walk back in the direction I need to be to interact with the object I want to interact with (I understand doing that with things like the dollhouse will be rough, but doors, posters, etc. you should be able to turn without moving.

All in all, cool entry.

This was awesome, the controls were a little unresponsive but I loved the short story and the plot twist, the doll house was my favourite!

Impressed by the amount of sprite work and image effects in this one. The story is great and the little puzzle are always fresh. Great job ! My only nitpick is that there's no glasses on the night stand sprite, so it's not clear where the glasses are, but I got them eventually (and then when you look back into the mirror, you don't have any glasses, but that could just be a surreal effect, it's not that important)
