I liked the graphics, the sounds and it fits the theme well. But... It's very sad. :(

Graphics, audio and everything was amazing but damn the ending, it really hurt, well made! Loved your take on the theme!

Wow, that's really my kind of game :) Beautiful pixel artwork, the music gets you in the mood, and even if you soon realize the inevitable, you still do everything to delay it. Beautifully done.

Really effective environmental storytelling. It felt like kind of a visual novel style game. I only wish my choices had more of an impact...

The atmosphere is top notch, it evokes a feeling of loneliness as you drive in the night. I wish it was clearer what certain items do such as the air freshener. Overall great concept and I enjoyed my time with it.

this game is just on point with style. I found myself driving around at night after playing this trying to deliver packages I never needed to deliver in the first place

Simple yet heartbreaking, love the atmosphere :)
Maybe consider checking the option to click to run it fullscreen on your itch.io though, it would help get immersed still a bit more :)

Really fantastic art and sound! Agreed that ability to run fullscreen would be even more immersive. Thanks for making this.

Art, music and mood overall are very nice, sad but predictable ending. Maybe you can make the game longer and add some positive outcome if you want to continue working on this game later. Still a very nice entry :)

I really like the aesthetic of the game. The gameplay wasn't anything crazy, but I thought it fit the theme well. The getting tired noise being the same as the air freshener one kind of confused me at first though.

Really great graphics and audio. It was unclear what some of the items did, like the air freshener, and I would have liked a way to know how much coffee I have left. I also really liked the story and your take on the theme. Very well done overall!

Holy shit, what did I just play? That hit hard. Really good getting that kind of emotion in such a short space of time. Game was excellent though, looked and sounded great, writing was on point, great job all in!

I'm sad now.
