Really nice little game, love the concept and it does a great job capturing the retro aesthetics. Couldn't get farther then the second child since the game kept getting stuck on a black screen during loading sequences (on both machines I tried it on). But the puzzles and interactions I've seen so far look very good!

Awesome aesthetic, however it ended up crashing after a minute or two each time. Overall, great job!

What a strange game! I liked grotesque-looking characters and interiors. They work well with the story. I wish that the game was a little bit more engaging and you had more stuff to do other than carrying babies around.

Congratulations on making a game that really stands out!

Really nice atmosphere, very spooky. The character controller felt a bit clunky but overall really cool!: )

Great Experience !

The retro style and creepy atmosphere really stand out! The characters and visuals are super unique, and the simple mechanics fit well. Adding a little more interaction could take it up a notch. Keep going with this vibe, you’ve got something cool here, and I’m excited to see what you do next. Gj!

What an interesting atmosphere, both creepy and funny. It's a weird combination but you managed to pull it off.

I had a lot of fun taking care of my children. Jessica behaved really nicely, I just hope she stops having those seizures (she might need a doctor). I have to admire Long John Silver's dance, he's so talented for someone so young. Jeremy is so curious and creative, exploring satanic rituals with the unborn babies. Bartholomew, however, must stop smoking immediately. That's not good.

The textures, models, faces, music and sound effects, they all work together so well in this game. Great job!

I think I deserve some congratulations. I took care of all my creatures, whether born or unborn. Just look at this:

game got me scared shitless, the resident evil door gave revived a long-forgotten memory. it gives me shitpost-y horror game vibes which I like. Couldn't reach the end, since it bugged on stair sequence? the door did not trigger. the tank controls could've been given more polish, but as it stands now, it has a good vibe/atmosphere and that matters to me the most.

When dad went out to get some milk and actually came back xD

Thank you for bringing this dope game to the stream :)

Reminded me of PS1-era games, Resident Evil and especially McGee's Alice
