This is a Rogue-like Room management.

Pick the furniture your roomies might need to survive.

Every cycle you might have the chance to get a new furniture, new roomies or maybe even to trash one of your hold crappy furniture.

Be patient and compassionate with the little roomies. They are pretty stupid and will not choose their activity based on their needs, only randomly (others would say I didn't program a proper AI which is true)

Really cool game! It just needs a little bit of music :)

Very nice! Good use of the theme. I like the visual style, simple but very striking. I played this game for 10 minutes, but then I got a bit annoyed with the AI. But I guess you can't program a decent AI in a couple of hours ;)

Well done!

Why not trashing one of my roomies ?

Sorry

Amazing graphics. I havent figured out how to optimize my space tho ?

The sound design is minimalist but pretty cute, you should have add that to the ratings, I would have gave you a fair 3 stars.

Nice idea, I really like the visuals. I was having an issue with my roomies not sleeping even though they were exhausted and had beds, but other than that great game!

Such a good game! It would be a lot better if the people tend to choose the active that is in emergency.

Really cool use of the theme to tell a story, and the visual style worked really well. It's actually pretty fun just rearranging furniture so that it makes sense as an apartment.

i like it very much, i dont know if is a bug, but "rest" always falling regardless 3 of my roomies are in bed

I like the style of this, but it really lacks a proper AI. Also, throughout one game I didn't get an option of getting a bed, that should be fixed somehow. You should continue working on this :)

Interesting concept, truly innovative. Grew a little bored over time, but the storytelling of the characters live is cool. Good work.

Really nice idea, the graphism are neat !

matthewpalaje13 Dec 2016, 23:33

That was a ton of fun! Really great idea. The visual design is awesome and the idea was really unique, I played it until my rest meter got too low which was around 5 minutes of gameplay.

Great job! :)

Love the idea and the blueprint style!

Very good use of the one room theme and I like the idea of using blueprints as an art aesthetic.

When choosing the furniture, I didn't have enough information to make good educated decisions. Still not sure what the table does.

A little bit more detail in the art and more use of blueprints could have been interesting as well.

The title cards detract too much from the game-play making you stop and OK every notification.

Really nice! A bit slow at the beginning, and the effects of some of the furniture like the shelves was unclear. I think I would have liked the option to speed things up a bit. Good work.

quiv16 Dec 2016, 17:53

Like you said, a bit more of an AI system might improve things a bit, but it's still a very enjoyable game! You need to notice early when one of the categories is starting to decrease, otherwise you'll be hoping for the next furniture cycle to get here as fast as possible :P Nice work!

Cool minimalistic style entry, the concept is lovely and pretty well executed, liked the idea to represent the game with blueprints.

hadesfury17 Dec 2016, 11:28

Good idea :)

MentaL1317 Dec 2016, 12:33

Cool game but I could not figure out how to improve Rest - it was always going down

BubsyPoochies19 Dec 2016, 13:32

Good entry. I like the art you made for this game, it's pretty original. I felt bad because I broke that family, but 3 children and the mother was too much to get some good rest. At least they were happy. Nice job and keep working.

Overall, it looked really clean and simple. I liked it a lot, but I wish it was a bit faster paced.

nick.bota24 Dec 2016, 15:23

Great game! It looks real clean and minimalist, the sounds also fit very well with the rest of the game, the needs system is very well implemented. You could add a day counter to see how many days I survived, and I also wish I had more control over what's happening in the game, a lot of time I just felt like a spectator instead of actively participating.

I love this! Cool concept and use of the theme.
