Love the style, love the story so far. However, hard to play without a mouse because of the dependence of the rotate tool (if there is a way to use it please let me know)
Hello, I absolutely loved your game. It was one of the best I have played in a while. I will upload a 4 part series but here is the first part. I had great fun playing through the entire game. It's completely original and something I have never seen before. Would there ever perhaps be a sequel to this game?
Hey there, I'm pleased to hear you've enjoying it so far :3 The sequel is probably not going to happen, but I'm working on 1.1 update though. It'll include bug fixes, several changes to the puzzles and a few more levels.
A few more days we would have to complete? That would be awesome though I don't know where you could take it next. And yeah I absolutley loved the game. Most fun I had in a while
Currently I'm working on a little something called "Impromptu Fortune Telling" (the name's WIP). It's in early stages of development, so I can't really show anything right now.
Thank you for your gameplay video, by the way! I'm happy you've had a good time :3
This was a compelling experience. When I first started playing I didn't imagine that I would fall down a rabbit hole so filled with emotions, intrigue and, at times, frustration.
What this game does so well is convey just how it feels to live with this disorder, and how it can make all of the things that we find so easy so darn difficult.
I learned a lot from this game, and I find that anytime a game is made that lets people experience first hand what it's like to cope with something like agoraphobia it really helps us all to understand a bit better, and maybe even learn to help people who are dealing with this kind of thing.
Thank you so much for making this game, and thank you for letting us all have access to it. Amazing work! And do please keep it up, I adored it! =)
The story was very captivating, the music was beautiful and did an excellent job complementing the current mood of the story. As someone who has dealt with similar issues, it really feels like the story comes from a place of experience, which makes it feel so much more real.
Awesome work guys, I would love to see more games like this!
Can't recommend something in particular, you may want to check out game tags. Itch is full of interesting indies and I'm sure you'll find something like this :)
This game was amazing! I downloaded it, because the description sorta cofuse me, so I though it would be best to just see what the game is. The soundtrack was great and I think it was one of the reasons I enjoyed the game so much, since a game's soundtrack means alot to mean when I play it. I enjoyed the art style and the way everything looks, and the best part about the game was... the gameplay and story! I loved the story and how everything plays out. The game really got me immersed into it with just how everything went along perfectely. I loved the game and gave ya'll 5 stars on the game jam, and I was wondering did the whole developing team come up with the story or just one of ya'll, because great job whoever camue up with it.
Sure, I love game making. "Games like this" is a very broad concept though and I'm not sure what you mean by that. I love games with deep meaning and rich story and I'd love to make more, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the only kind of games I can make. I want to leave some room for experiments too.
Hey, thanks for the video! I'm sorry you found some parts of the game frustrating. It was built within a month and it clearly could use some polishing (*cough* the alarm clock *cough*). I have a new build ready with most of the issues resolved and I'll publish it when the jam's voting is over.
Please don't blame the characters for bad wording: they're just teenagers who can't conjugate verbs (the newspaper guy's just unqualified though) :D
@gamejamcurator- i agree with ya- this is very well done and even as a individual that doesn't have this mental disorder. made me fully understand and create empathy for individuals who are suffering from it! i think thats what makes games more of impact as a medium because puts the player in the shoes of the narrative thats being to0ld and have to interact versus other forms like books,movies, etc. @gamejamcurator dude read article and perfect explanation as well!
Things are deep I don't think I fully grasp the idea. To me the illness seems like social anxiety which I suffer from but, that might not be the case. I see some procrastination but, that might be a side effect or just my thought process. All in all this is a great game that makes you think!
I myself am an agoraphobist and I must say that you have put it perfectly to the point. Not only did you spotlight the symptoms pretty much, but you also showed the struggles with the social environment... As an agoraphobist one often feels abandoned or simply afraid that one will not have any friends or acquaintances anymore because one feels not able to participate in their lives. But you also showed off the hopeful side of this psychological battle. The support of really good friends, the little bright spots... The ending was just fantastic... So, let me thank you for this game. I felt enormously understood and was just glad that somebody put this mental disorder into a game. Thank you, really. I hope that through my article as well as the playthrough video, more people will feel addressed and try out your game, because I think you built a tremendous empathy base for agoraphobia here... <3 You are an amazing person.
Hey Sebastian, thank you so much for the response and especially the article. I loved it to bits, I even caught myself smiling for a minute while reading it :) It always warms my heart a little when someone describes their experience. I'm happy you found it worthy <3
Hey Brandon! Thank you so much for reviewing this :) I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though this is not the kind of games you usually play on your channel
Words can not describe what a wonderful game this was. The background music and the general atmosphere really had me as one with this game. 11/10 I most definitely recommend.
edit: Oh my, the ending is truly incredible and so wholesome; I am moved. I have nothing bad to say about this game. It was an absolute wonder.
Wow, I loved it. It's so beautiful and moving, and it perfectly transmits what is like to have to deal with agoraphobia, anxiety and depression. Totally recommended.
Besides the object hunting , this is really great! The apartment feels both cozy and confining, the story is engaging and some of the interactions are really nice! The mental health themes hit pretty close to home for me, which is why I love playing games like these. But some of the arbitrary item hunting got really annoying, especially the clean up, mostly because there was so little player direction. Overall, worth playing!

Absolutely love the game its amazing, but i cannot get past wednesday with the alarm clock i cant turn it off nor can i progress
Can anyone help?
I'd throw away an alarm clock that can't be turned off. Absolutely useless thing :)
I threw it out the window, and it seemed to work haha
Beautiful, lovely game. I loved how the menu changes slightly once you finish it!
Love the style, love the story so far. However, hard to play without a mouse because of the dependence of the rotate tool (if there is a way to use it please let me know)
i just uploaded my gameplay of this, pretty cool! :D

I can't give you any exact deadlines at the moment. I'll publish it when I'm sure it's polished enough. Stay tuned!

I say
holy Christ I regret everything

i love this game thanks so much for making this!!!! :DDDDD
I loved playing your game that I made a gameplay video
This game helped me to relax for a short period of time while I was going through bad days
Are you working on any other game like this?

This was nice. I enjoyed the story, and related just enough to really feel immersed
What an enjoyable way to spend an hour!

I really loved your game, thank you for making such ambient games with ambient music. Is there any more games like this?

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The story was written by me :)
The music's really beautiful and you totally should check out Kai Engel's Bandcamp. I'm sure you'll find several albums that you'll like too!
Your welcome, and I was wondering are you'll planning to make more games like this or just more games in paticualr.

The game is very pretty. I do have a lot of criticisms on it, though. Here is my full play through here:

(Also, you appear to have misspelled agoraphobia in the video title. Or is that intentional?)
This was a really nice game to play. To see the world through somebody with anxiety disorder is both scary and gives you a new perspective on life.
Is the game free or no?
It's name your own price, yes its free
Ok, thanks!
It doesnt work
Any suggestions ?
I'm having the exact same problem I have no idea what to do.
Hey, can you ping me at evanescent@tuta.io? I need some info about your OS and PC to understand what's going wrong.
How do I ping you?
Do u mean that i send u an email or what?
I thought this game was absoulutely amazing. I choked up at the end. It was such a sweet yet deep story and I love it. I really love this game <3

It always warms my heart a little when someone describes their experience. I'm happy you found it worthy <3
Not at all what I was expecting. Great story and development. I especially like the part with the chair on Tuesday.
This game is so well made! A game everyone should place and experience!
