Your game is spectacular. I hope you develop it further and add instructions to the game and MORE critters.

Such creative creatures and beautifully drawn art! Good job!

I don’t know why I can’t download the game, so I can’t rate the gameplay, but I really love your art style. I was attracted the moment I saw the cover of this game.

Very cute creatures!

I really like the art in this game! The artist clearly has taste!

It hanged for me after the second ritual. Love the art and the idea, excellent job!

I want more critters and funny animations! For real the klint got me I was starring at my screen when it moved :D Well done, very cool art!

Very polished experience!

The way you build upon finding creatures to enable to find more creatures is very interesting! Together with the short descriptions in the journal it feels mechanically like 'My little inferno' which hooked me for a long time :grin:

Your game is awesome! I love the art style, and the controls feel really smooth! (I guess Godot is indeed quite powerful!) The guidance and gameplay feel very intuitive and comfortable—really great work! Also, I really love that little rock!
But there’s one issue—the HTML5 version of the game doesn’t seem to load on the Itch page.

I really enjoyed this game. Great balance of exploring and detective work. Artwork and sfx worked well and really helped me get emersed in game.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback! We don't know why web version doesn't work for some people (everything works fine from our side). If something doesnt work, you could try downloading it for Windows from itch.io page or opening HTML5 version from another browser)

Really cozy game, short and interesting. Enigmas are cool WELL PLAYED !!!

this is goated

very nice game, interesting idea, great visuals. Also you guysfrom Tartu, that is a quite nice place, was there many times!

@lucy-z Just realized I can ping xD. If you still would like to play our game, you could try playing it in browser here: https://grmseven.itch.io/critter-journal. It can also be downloaded from there if needed :P

Love this game! Cozy vibe and simple yet cute graphic! The right click control sometimes gets me out of the game screen but overall a really great game! Love it!

Cozy game with nice graphics. gj

Loved it! We also had a compendium to fill creatures in, so naturally I had to find them all :D !

Cute entry! This game certainly inspires a lot of curiosity, sense of wonder and discovery! The aesthetic is really calming and cozy. The little animations and sound effects definitely add to the charm :)

Loved the artstyle, very lovely!

This game is a gem! The art style is absolutely adorable, and the cute creatures immediately draw you in 🥰 The puzzle and exploration mechanics are fun, with each new discovery feeling rewarding. The way the journal entries add depth to each creature’s personality reminded me of My Little Inferno, a game that kept me hooked for hours! The controls are intuitive, and everything flows smoothly. I particularly love how each creature has its own unique animations—so much charm! The sound effects and music are calming, enhancing the cozy vibe of the game. 🎶 The team did an outstanding job crafting a world that’s engaging and fun to explore.
Fantastic work! 👏🌟

Such a fun playground you guys created. Cool idea to have the weather and time of day change by >Spoilers> throwing tiny coin creatures down the well :grin:

The art fits well together, the music is relaxing and mysterious at the same time, and exploring possibilities reminded me of the alchemy games, where you throw together some elements in hope of creating something new.

Really well done :)

Wonderful in every way!
The graphics are incredible, the diary is perfect, I'd like to play seek-and-find games as good as this every day! I thought of Botany Manor when I saw your diary, and it made me smile.
I hope you'll continue to develop and bring us more pictures as beautiful as this one! Thank you for this sweet treat <3

Amazingly cute! Creature artwork in the journal is stunningly good. Great job!

Very cosy and serene game. I really liked the implementation of the hints in the journal. The art is great an i love how everything moves. Awesome job!

Ryan noooo I'm sooo soo sorry! You were the cutest of them all but... I had to...

More seriously, I loved the game, very cozy feel, very cute, 5/5 for me!

Fantastic graphics!

Very cute game!

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to do much, and it was a little frustrating, but it seems that there was probably a lot to achieve that I just couldn't figure out.

I threw Centient into the well a couple of times, which made it night, and then I think that's what made Earifly and Terror appear. That's the only interaction that I could figure out.

Making it rain didn't seem to have any purpose that I could find. I tried picking up rocks, thinking a rock might be a critter, but couldn't find any interactable rocks. Also couldn't find anything to throw in the pond. Couldn't find anything that responded to the apple. The skull didn't respons to anything. I tried putting the bee on a flower, but that didn't do anything. Bogus didn't do anything. The bird in the tree couldn't be detected and didn't respond to everything. The hints in the journal didn't make me any wiser.

I might just be a dumb-dumb. 😔

I really loved everything! Music is great, the rain sounds are so calming, art is lovely -- the colour palette was a really good choice imo. I really enjoyed the puzzle elements, and the critter descriptions in the book were helpful when I got stuck without giving away too much.

This game is wonderful! I love the immersive atmosphere. The visuals are top-notch, everything looks great. And good job with the critters, they really add to the experience. Well done!
