Sorry everyone I posted this game at 6am then passed out. I really appreciate everyone who took the time to help me find the bugs and played it despite it's rough state, they should all be fixed in the next patch!
Edit: I have a patch ready but uploads are still locked for spooktober judging, I will update it as soon as it's unlocked! (should be soon)
AAUUWUHGHGWHUHU THIS GAME WAS!!!!!! SO AMAZING!!!! oh my god!!!!!!!!! i am. In so much awe!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!! all of your games always manage to convey some of the most effective & purposeful atmospheres i've ever gotten to experience.,, and oh my god does every part of this game's atmosphere manage to convey so many things through just that, too!!!!!! the brighter color palette accentuating the lack of activity/happening, and it directly contrasting Rafael's dream (which then gives an unreal quality to the world,) not to even mention the way they're all spaced out contributes so much to setting the precedent that there's something distinctly wrong in the town ,,, everything pulls together into such a foreboding mood, and was conveyed sooosoo beautifully !!!!! it felt super reminiscent of many dystopian novels i've read.,, which i have no clue if is an intended effect,, but it was definitely effective in conveying certain themes !!!ohmuygod!!! all the characters' designs were absolutely gorgeous (as they always are,) too !!!!!!!!! all their color palettes were so beyond lovely to look at,, and they all stood out so well as individuals !!! > all their sprites were so perfect at conveying their personality & emotions, too .,, : monday's design being so collected and mostly facing/turned downward,, with his frustrated/angry sprite having a hair out of place,., ; eury having a much more flamboyant (for lack of a better term,,) pose which did such a great job at making her clearly distinct, and unique, from the rest of the people in town.,,, ITS ALL SO GOOD !!! UWHGUHGWUHHU !!!💜💜 the story was so so far beyond amazing too!!!auuwuhHWHUGHU!!! your dialogue & character dynamics always feel so incredibly authentic and genuine in how they're portrayed.., and ohhboy did it add so much emotion to all the different points of plot !!! i dont think any words can convey how i felt after the interaction cain's (or. previously not just his) apartment, or the closing words of the church ending because dear GOD. UWGHHHHHHH. SO GREAT.!!!!! i have no clue how i got so attached to all these characters in a 30 minute time window. but dear lord did i. every game you make is packed so full of things to analyze and think about..,, i am in an incredibly amount of awe you were able to come up with & make all of this in such a short amount of time!!!! i am so incredibly excited to replay later and think about it all even more hawuhwauhu ;; you are !!! so incredibly skilled and talented !!! :"" 💜💜💜
Hi Monard you always post the most thoughtful comments under my games, I can't thank you enough!! :')) I started making games just to tell stories about my characters so I'm really glad you appreciate them as much as you do!
I did contrast it on purpose (the bright world vs how bleak it actually is underneath) to convey the mood so I'm happy you caught it! And making the character sprites was definitely my favorite part of the process haha, I'm glad they managed to convey their personalities well!
I tried a lot of new things for this game and it leans on being more experimental so I wasn't sure if people are going to enjoy it so thank you for telling me your thoughts!!
I jumped for joy when I got the notification that you had published another game!! :D I really liked this one, it’s insane that you managed to do this much for such a short jam! I’m really interested in the story, and I hope we see some of these characters another time… I'm so interested in the mysteries...
I did find some bugs so I’ll list them here (SPOILERS):
“Customers” was spelt “costumers” in the opening scene
When you investigate the lost items, the text goes off the screen. “The label says that these see lost items. Items that di…”
The text stating that Cain’s room is locked pops up when you walk past the door, not when you interact with it
When you try to go to the menu after picking up letters each day, the game stops because “img/pictures/Actor1_6.png” failed to load and you have to leave the game and try again
Day 3 dream says something like “A man and a woman chants in prayer” and there’s no period at the end
When you go to the secret passageway in the church, the first computer says “Zone 99 - Also known as Nonaginta Town. This special zone has a higher turnaround than other are…” and goes off screen. The next few lines do the same
After Monday catches you there, he says “Because once the higher-ups catchw wind of this,” with an extra w
**I wrote this list a couple hours ago, so some of these may be repeats of things people have already said. Sorry!!
Anyways, thanks for making another awesome game! :D
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the bugs (sorry), there's definitely still room to tell a lot more! I had to cut some things because of the jam deadline but I might add them back in future patches!
And thank you so much for catching all of these! I'm definitely fixing them all for the next update!
I've encountered a bug in the post office with the approval menu. If you open it, and then press x to back out of the menu it brings up when you press escape while in the post office you get to an inescapable error menu.
Hi! Try going to img > pictures > create or copy the files of ''Actor1_#.png'' & make create ''Actor1_6.png'' in the pictures folder so the game can detect that the file is there. I also recommend making ''Actor1_7.png'' & ''Actor1_8.png'' as well just to be safe.
Super fun!! This is the earliest I've been to any game release! The only bugs I've found is I'm unable to access my inventory with X and *SPOILER AHEAD*
if you go to the church after getting less than a 10 at the previous decision, the ending involving the church will still play out. I did thoroughly enjoy this game tho!
thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the rough state it's in! And thank you for telling me about the bug, it should be fixed in the next patch!

Thank you so much for telling me, it should be fixed in the next patch. And what Xenvita commented works if you want a quicker fix!
