___Wisteria woke up today feeling a little tired. Even the darkest tea won’t be strong enough to make them feel energised. They decide to visit Tulip and bring along freshly baked lemon biscuits. Hopefully Tulip will like them…___

You might like to keep the game windowed on your screen so Wisteria and Tulip can keep keeping you company.

This game is weirdly suitable for EEG/BCI.

Thank you for playing :3

We're looking forward to reading your feedback!

Lovely artstyle

phealsout26 Apr 2021, 21:46

The story is nice, I just wish there was more to the gameplay

Very cute! Made me smile :) I liked the pitter patter of their feets. One thing I would say is the font was a little too small and hard to read.

Really cute! The art and color scheme are lovely, and the character's inner monologue is charming and relatable.

Cute, and interesting story. Wish there was more gameplay.

I wasn't sure what to expect, and it still wasn't this! Really nice little game, lovely style, good job! :smile:

Nice little story based game with great a palette and sprite work.

This was beautiful. The art and audio really struck a chord. It was much more heartful than I expected, which was a lovely surprise. It seems the core of this game is really the narrative, so I wouldn't want to see too much added which gets in the way of that. Instead some small moments of interactivity could really elevate the game, such as handing the biscuits to tulip! Just some little elements to draw the player in even further.

Really athmospheric, that game. With all the lofi beats in the background and the nicely chosen pink colors and stuff. Made me feel all warm annd blooming inside. At some points it actually got me laughing! Really can't say much bad about this entry, except maybe, that it was boring to read so much text, and thats not my cup of tea when it comes to gaming, so a gameplay aspect would have been nice, for example i couldn't go left, up or down, so adding that could give it an explorational aspect.
Aside from that really cute, sweet and fluffy entry and also quite polished.
I haven't found a single bug, respect! ;)

I had no idea to expect. I'd say this is a very different take on the theme, I'm not sure how far it fits in deeper and deeper tho. Anyway, I finished it puzzled, wanting to know more about that world and those characters - it's a setting I would never, ever think about, this world filled with tulip thoughts.

Technical review: text size is extremely small, my eye got a bit teared forcing to read it, it think it could be solved with a maximize or full-screen option.

Delightfully different game! Nice art style, its a really nice walking sim :) Im not sure it fits with the theme "Deeper and Deeper" I guess your deeper into Wisteria's thoughts maybe? Still good game :D I really like the transition effect !
