Was there supposed to be an ending sequence? I was really looking forward to the party! :sweat_smile:
Great arts also, it looks very polished for a jam entry.
The dialogues were smooth, and everything transitioned nicely. The music was also a great choice even if you didn't make it.
I don't usually play visual novel games, but this was nice.
Good job! Pretty good entry overall.
Wonderful job !
This was a much bigger game than I expected. I really figured I'd be giving those five things out, and that the challenge was to remember who to give them to since the name doesn't show at that point, but nope! Way more to it than that! I loved how much interaction there was between the people; it feels like many of the delivery games I've played during this LD have nailed it on delivering things but not been great on feeling like a community of people, and this one did that really well :D Plus the art was super cute and so were the characters! And I can't remember which one it was now but they kept referring to one of the characters as "they", so unless I'm wrong... hurray for nonbinary representation!!! 🧡🧡🧡
(By the way, it wasn't intended to be a challenge to remember who was who, we just forgot that players wouldn't be as familiar with everyone as we were when making the game, heh. Something to tweak in the post-jam version!)
