Comments below clip:
Where most DEVs opt for loud noises, knocking on doors, exploding light bulbs and lots of jump startles, Misaki Hime ventures in the opposite direction in which a way more subtle game play develops and evolves. Still, we have to deal with the fears of a young child and figure out a way how to deal with them. Will we make the right choices? Will we survive?Only 1 way to find out: watch or play the game yourself.
I didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Thank you for making this game. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.
Thank you so much for playing! I would love to include your video in my portfolio to show that people from all around the world have enjoyed my game. Would you mind if I do so?

No problem and again, thank you! :D
I got scared when the mother woke up and disappeared; that was creepy. Great game!!!
Haha! I also got scared at that moment! I thought she was sleepwalking like a zombieX
I'm glad the game scared you a little, that means I was able to create the right atmosphere! Thanks for playing and enjoying it!
Would you mind if I include your video in my portfolio?
Not a bad little game! As I stated in my video, my favorite part was simply the aesthetic of the house itself in the dark. Things that seemed ominous in the darkness were revealed to be normal in the light. I think this is good use of lighting in general. The animations are a little rough, but those can be ironed out easily enough. Good work!
Your review means a lot! I'll focus on improving those animations to make the game a little bit scarier and much more enjoyable. Thank you very much!
I'd like to include a link to your video in my portfolio, if that's alright with you. May I?
Of course! Happy to help you where I can. Please let me know if there's any content I can review for you in the future. You've got great skill, and I look forward to seeing what you do next!
Oh, your words bring a smile to my face! Your support is truly inspiring. I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you very much! Keep up the fantastic work on your end as well!
Чудесный проект! Благодаря ему я, наконец, начала понимать, что такое "рассказывать историю окружением, а не текстом". Все эти пузырьки от лекарств, кровать, как в больничке, с капельницей, бутылка вина и разбитые тарелки - мама, наверное, психовала и пила. И чем-то больна. Классно!
Комнаты здорово спроектированы. По первости реально было чувство погружения и ощущение, что это - дом, в котором живут.
Нравится финальная заставка. Сразу вопросик в голове - а где же папа? И вообще всё вот это "в голове" - про то, почему мама ест таблетки, где папа, - это же как раз то, что делает игру крутой, для меня =)
Успехов автору! *_*
Большое спасибо за отзыв! Очень приятно читать ваши размышления об игре!
Финальная заставка должна была показать, кто же все-таки спал в больничной кровати и чьи это были таблетки. К сожалению, в этой истории не самый счастливый финал, но мама и дочка будут справляться с горем вместе.
Хм.. интересно, что это неочевидно, казалось, что койка и таблетки - мамины, особенно, потому что в игре героини словами говорит что она "take her medicine."
Но зато Ваш ответ позволяет раскрывает, почему кресло каталка и костыли в подвале и чулане.
Это слова ребенка, произнесенные рядом с пустым бокалом и бутылкой :)
Пузырь таблеток там тоже рядом валялся =D
А вообще, поздравляю, какие бы ни были оценки жюри,у игры явно уже успех! Столько летсплеев!!! Поздравляю! Один проект и куча бонусов к портфолио ;)
Спасибо большое! Неожиданный, но крайне приятный бонус от участия в ПрактикJam :)
I really appreciate you making a video playing my game! Thank you. It's my mistake that you tried the first version of my game with the basement switch issue. It's fixed now.
Do you mind if I add your video to my portfolio?
Noo, I don't mind! You can use my video for your job hunting! Hope you have a great success in your future! Thank you for your nice game!
P.S. Oh, was it a bug?Haha! Maybe it was a little bit highXD
Thank you so much ^^
Nice and easy going game!
Thank you so much for playing! 💗
May I use a link to your video in my portfolio?
You sure can!
You are the best!
