very captivating game, loved the artwork, the photos, the ability to save and was very surprised by the amount of options and pathways you could put in a game in such a short deadline. The plot is interesting, sometimes dark, sometimes humorous, great job overall

A unique submission, a nice way to tell an interactive story. I loved how the photos of the room got pixelated - why not make the full game look like that? (eg also the objects would have photos pixelated too and then color them a bit for example to stand out from photo). Great work overall and congratulations!

really interesting submission, i didn't fully understand how it fits the "limited space" theme but i thought the game was charming overall :)

Love this plot game with so many contents, and many options to select. I ended up catching by a cat in my first gameplay though qwq. I love the cute and timid rat figure ovo.

Great Game! I died three times, but then I made the escape without food :D
I like the photos of the room - especially behind the tv :)
Is it possible to rescue the human?

After dying a few times, I started to scan the options for the safest approach, and recognizing "trap" options where I'd likely get captured. That's when the humor of the path options started to click with me! Great way to frame the mood of the story.

I'd suggest adding a back button, since there weren't many times where the story branched beyond a brief circuit or a loss state. I think it'd save time compared to the save feature, since I wasn't saving before each decision.

Also, I found having to choose which item to carry to have one or two more dialog descriptions than was necessary. I'm not sure how best to integrate an inventory into a Twine game like this.

But overall I had a good time!

The rat POV was pretty interesting and the humor made me smile, although I think I died to everything ahah.

This was a really enjoyable experience. I made a series of saves and played through what I think was at least 5 or 6 different endings. This is a really nice entry
