Wow, absolutely loved it! The game is drawn so cute and funny and there's something weirdly interesting about the enviroment I got totally sold. The only thing missing was a few sounds but overall good work :)

I loved the style, the drawings were nice, but i honestly don't know what i am supposed to be doing! i press E a couple of times and then nothing else happens. help!?

Gameplay seems a bit confusing but the overall art presentation is just amazing!

figured the first two screens out via trial and error and got stuck on the shooting box. i really liked the graphics and music but have to agree that the gameplay is a little confusing. :)

I love the art and the environmental storytelling, but I couldn't really make it far into the game. I got here and couldn't move back to the left. I felt like the whole time I was just clicking everywhere and pressing 'E'. It might help it a little to have something highlight when it's interactable just so that it's a little bit more clear.

I'm honestly not sure what to do...I spammed E and LMB a lot but then got stuck like @tanatb did. I restarted and tried to progress a bit further but I couldn't figure out the next step. The music and the graphics were nice though!

graphics and music were really cool, set a nice mood. i managed to get the ribs and something in the trash in my inventory, but couldn't progress from there after spending a while clicking around on everything. was not able to figure out how to us anything in my inventory.

one fairly simple thing to implement that would make the game feel a lot better to play is flipping the character on the X axis when i walk left. also, the collisions didn't make much sense to me, i felt often like i was getting stuck or unable to walk somewhere that seemed like i should be able to.

I didn't get past the 2nd screen but though the art design was fun especially in the intro comic!

@ndhr-productions @sdata I updated the game and fixed the interaction issues, its possible to finish the 3rd level now. Thanks for the feedback <3

@sakura-magika I implemented the flipping, thanks for the suggestion :)

Very cute! I loved the art and cutscenes and the atmosphere in general. It was a little confusing to play, since there was very little feedback to what the player is doing. Things also happen very suddenly so I'd be nice to have some slower transitions or something so the player has time to see what they did.
Maybe with some more animations and puzzles this could be a really cool point and click adventure game!

The art and music were great, it was a little hard to navigate and get around, along with figuring out what to do.
