Such a lovely game. The calm music sets the mood perfectly. I’ve gone through phases just like Jacob’s, so the story resonated with me a lot. Procrastination can really drag you down, especially when it starts affecting your mental health.

I love this game very much. I like the concept of taking back control over the life. It is also like an guide to improve the life. Your game has a very realistic concept because this game actually shows what many people go through and helps us to actually get back control over life. I really love your game.

A very relatable game 🙃

I like the cozy atmosphere and positive vibes of getting one’s life together.

I got stuck on day 3 for a while, despite the hint OP left in the comments, but made it through eventually and played to completion.

Very nice and uplifting submission. Thanks.

It's truly a beautiful game; I'd even get emotional when Jacob started to get up on his own.

If I had to offer any criticism, it would be that it should be more intuitive to know what you can and can't click, perhaps by changing the mouse cursor's appearance. But other than that, it's truly a work of art.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I was already thinking about changing the cursor after all the feedback I've received. I can't update until the Game Jam voting ends, but I'll definitely make some changes as soon as I can <3

Quite a sad game honestly. The pixel art is really good and the sounds/music is great. The story is quite depressing. Overall, good game! Cookie deserved!

Also, if you want you can check out my game too!

Developer(+1)

Well, that was the point…the game is about depression and mental health. Thank you for your feedback

Submitted

Yeah! I wasn't complaining! Sorry if it seemed like it :(

Developer(+1)

Oh sorry I thought you didn't like it because it was too sad and that you didn't understand the concept. Then I apologize for my answer <3

English is not my native language, so I very likely worded it poorly lol

It took me a little while to understand at the beginning, but once you get past it, it's fun. Well done.

Developer

thank you so much!

Cool, I loved the way you applied the theme! I really liked the game’s artwork. It seems to have a minimalist style that works really well. Good luck!

Developer

Thank you so much!

I like this cozy puzzles, but I miserably got stucked in my tries to get him up in the first day. In the first try I opened the window, but in the second try I didn´t find the window opener…

But the idea is very cool and also the story.

Developer

Hi, I'm sorry you got stuck, every day the character wakes up in different ways, little hint if you like to try again, on the first day the window is not needed to wake him up, you need to open the closet

Hi! I'm sorry you got stuck, have you tried checking the bedside table drawers, the upper drawer?

Submitted(+1)

Hello! Loving this so far, just wanted to ask. Day 3, how do I get out of bed? Loving everything so far, beautiful little thing, I'm just stuck and I want to help Jacob.

Game looks great, beautiful, beautiful artwork.

I love the concept behind it, very unique interpretation of the theme in this jam.

I was a bit confused on what to do at times, I don't typically play these types of games.

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback, maybe I'll add some more instructions
