Grandpa ! tell me about... by squirrelsoft

[raw]
made by squirrelsoft for LD 43 (JAM)

*Be a sweet grandchild and help your grandpa with his shop, would you ? * He's grown too attached to his old antiques to sell them. The problem is that he has accumulated some debts, and has 5 days before being evicted... You just have to make enough money to repay his loans and close the shop. Good luck !!!

WOW! This game is amazing! This could be improved but for LD game it is really nice! It's sad I'm first to rate it :sob: . I would like to see the development of this mechanics. Good Luck!

I really like the vision of this game. I know the pain of not getting your game finished (See my entry!) and we are lucky to be able to put out postjam versions for those that are interested. Definitly a game worth continuing to work on. SO much potential. Good work

I played the final webGL version, so I'm not sure what the LD version was.

I really wish that I'd gotten to hear the story about the items rather than just a note that the item was interesting.

I found it surprising that customers tried to buy the wheelchair right from under my grandfather. Rude!

The mechanics were quite simple, and it didn't feel much like a visual novel, which is what it was tagged as on itch.io.

I haggled all the prices up and generally the customers paid. I set the price for my grandfather's wheelchair really high because I didn't want to sell an item he is still currently using.

I ended the game with profit, but also couldn't figure out why there was a goomba in the grandfather's speech bubble in the end.

@saoi-games there is a windows build on git hub, you have the link up there.
For the wheelchair note that you don't have to sell items, and for the tag "visual novel" was more the aesthetic rather than the gameplay, though it would have been way more fitting if we had the time to create actual stories for the items.

ah! and the goomba is just a not subtle enough last minute rushed easter egg...
