Pretty nice mood, and the graphics style is cool. Does follow the theme, too.

I think the graphics could use work. Mostly in color choices, and little in composition. I liked the music a lot and I agree with Nysten about the mood being really together. The game froze after I tried to add the vhs player so I can't comment much on the story, but it was lacking up until that part.

A nice little story, I didn't get bored with it, and the pacing was set out nicely

It's short but shows potential

Well made! I like the music and graphics. The main character moves quite slowly though. How short is it supposed to be? I ended with a black screen. Is this intentional?

It is quite short, in the end I thought the game was frozen because there was no end screen. It was funny tho, I like it. Good work! Also the graphics was great.

It had a good graphics and the mood, but it was pretty unchallenging (even for me).

I liked all the parts except it was a little mindless. Walk here walk there do some talking. I wouldve enjoyed more of a challenge.

Puzzles are too simple, but I like it, especially a chicken head)))

Nice graphics and really interesting mood. You respected the theme. I love aesthetic 16x16. Maybe too short so as to figure out that it's a game. Pretty entry and thank you for your comment ++

Well done! The audio is pretty good and the graphics are great too, but the mood is awesome! I wish it would've been a bit longer, I would have loved to keep playing.

I found this quite amusing! There wasn't much gameplay so much as just rolling through the conversations and you move very slowly. I also found that you can get stuck on the door leaving from the room with the VHS player.

I love pixel art! The atmosphere of the game is pretty cool and the music fits very well. The game held up when playing it. With some more polish it would be a pretty cool game. The only thing that I didn't really like was the ability to walk off the screen. But other than that, awesome jam entry!

Very short, dialogue was pretty good though. I don't see how the theme fit in anywhere though. Lighting was pretty sick though.

Love the music. Fun and funny story. But the font is kind of hard to read and the words don't wrap.

Walk speed was a bit slow, but other than that it was great!

enjoyed the atmosphere and the humour. Needs some polish and some expansion, but of course that's all possible with a bit more time.

This game is, acoording to me, perfectly "balanced". Not too much reading, not too slow, not too fast, and simple, clean graphics. Great job!

Incredible! I learned so much just from playing this game, THIS is why I do LD, thank you so much, you really composed a masterpiece in a very short amount of time.

nice little story game! pretty short, yes, and even shorter since there's really no choices or altering paths, the player basically just follows a story. my only other complaint is that the text selections was wonky and pretty annoying. sometimes it double-clicks through the text, especially if i hold it down for too long. you should've just made the spacebar a 1 hit toggle instead of a time-based check for if the spacebar is down. same for the other keys, it would've made scrolling through the options less annoying. kinda nit-picky but still noticeable.

My favorite visual style. Even short the game was fantastic, I thought the idea has a lot of potential.

Nice game, the game stopped working when I entered the kitchen and pressed spacebar (controls got stuck).

Great atmosphere and music! Nice game! Oh, and I managed to break the game by pressing space twice at a door :) (got stuck)

Great music, like the gfx, short and very linear, but a full game nonetheless, well done :)

Short but fun, although not very interactive as you don't really have any choices, puzzles, or ways to lose (Although you can just walk off the screen forever...)

It looks great, and the audio fits in well. The gameplay mechanics work nicely and overall it seems very professional.

Im in a game! Im in a game! I included it in part 5 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/esXlcAnzqGA

It could make use of some less obvious logical puzzles (point-and-click adventure style), but it still turned up pretty well!

Unsure if I got the correct anding or missed something, there was a noise and then the screen went to black with no text.

The walking is too slow, also you can walk outside the bounds of any of the screens.

The tone, music, and sound are all very high quality, though.

Cute little game. I found myself trying to get through it as quickly as possible, though.

I didn't really appreciate the game. It felt like pandering towards the Youtubers. The lack choices in the narrative tree was disappointing as well.

Still, it's clear the developer is capable.

I got stuck at a black screen after talking with POV. Apart from that, one of the most entertaining entries I have played, I liked it despite the crude graphics and audio. Great work!

Interesting stuff going on, but I'd like more fun stuff to do, and less linear interactions. I wonder where this game could go.
