Played twice, once for winning and once for failing. Found it very predictable which options would lead to what outcome, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Hey, thanks for playing our game Janetheodd o/
It's true that in its current state, the outcome can be very predicable since we had simplify some parts of the story to finish the game in time.

Glad you enjoyed it anyway. :)

Nice game ! Really good writing. I'm not usually playing a lot of visual novels, but this one was pretty cool, even wanted to see the different outcomes ! Congrats ;)

Fun game - I liked your approach. Picking a graphic novel style game for a game jam is a really good way to jam in content and you really made full use of it. Graphics are nice and the story is interesting. Would have been nice to have some sounds and I would also have liked more UI. You made a really nice intro screen and had super good characters and the UI seemed a bit thrown together. Again, well done :)

Enjoyed playing this twice to see the good and the bad outcome. The visuals are very nice, the writing is quite alright (with a few typos here and there), and it's fun to see how the plant reacts. I was a little let down by the endings, they came a bit abruptly. Some audio would've elevated the mood a lot. And I found it a bit irritating that I had to click to continue after a fade to black (the UI could've used some polish generally). Still, this was really nice, good job!

It was a fun little visual novel with at least 2 endings which is awesome!
I enjoyed the story and the options as well!
