Ollie. Loner and outcast - and he prefers it that way.
So it wasn't a surprise to him when he was made to leave to take up a job in Red Hollow. A city of monsters, no one ever seems to return.
What does surprise him is that he feels more at home there than the quiet, human-inhabited town he grew up in. Maybe there's friendship in ghosts and vampires after all.
Made in Unity, using Fungus.

*Note: There's been known to be a resolution problem. From one user: "I stumble upon a bug on my first try : when using some resolutions (for exemple 1024x768 windowed), it is not possible to see Theo in the second "act" as he is off-screen. Playing in 1440x900 windowed fixed it, this should probably be added to the game description for other people."
Congrats on your first LD, you did well ! The graphics are really good, especially the character arts, lovely.
SPOILER I did not like the end, I would rather have stayed there with Ollie's new friends :) SPOILER

The yay: - the art style - the story (why did he leave the town in the end, though? D:) - interesting take on theme
The nay: - found the feedback a bit lacking; I'd like to have some indication of which element I can click, e.g. by it growing a little or something (kind of like upon clicking the element would make that "size bouncing" animation) - minor bug: when I clicked near the flower cart at the beginning, where the bird person would *later* be, the dialogue option still appeared
Quite a solid entry overall, wouldn't mind seeing more of that. :3
Really nice style and I love how the music matches the mood. I found it a bit difficult to click on things and got stuck half-way through.... No matter what I clicked on, nothing new happened :-/
I like the artstyle but I have to say it is a little confusing, it is hard to understand what you can interact with and what not. But it is just a minor annoyance. The story is interesting and I really liked the general mood of the game.
Nice game. I think some visual sign on where you can click would greatly improve the gameplay. I like the mood and the art style. Found the beeping sound of the text a little annoying after a while but that's just a minor. Congrats on the entry!
Wickedly stylish and intriguing, you told an interesting story in a very cool looking locale. Perhaps no one returns from Red Hollow for a good reason? :P Noticed an odd issue where you could click on the flower seller before he actually appeared. It was a nice length, and the audio suited it well. Very well done, keep it up!

I enjoyed the game, but I think the story being such a contained arc could have had a lot more to it.
