This was made in under 48 hours while looking after my 4-month-old daughter. So a bunch of features didn't make it in. Thanks a lot for having a play.

Interesting game and story!
Hi Thank you, and thank you for the video!
Thanks, I enjoyed it. Managed to freeze it near the sofa after coming back with some food. It got stuck with .... text in the white dialogue box, but i couldn't move after that. I could switch modes with left shift, but was otherwise stuck. I like how you've chosen to show the mental states of the character, i think that worked well. Edit: Just played through a few more times.. thank you for this game I liked it. On a funny technical note I managed to jump over the invisible wall at the front of the house and onto the snow roof, didn't land on it of course, but i see you've got some sort of off screen detector that at least put me back in the right place. Nice music too.
Hi, thank you so much for the feedback. Yes haha it is full of bugs, like that. I might go back one day and redo it all. There are also a few other game-breaking bugs i didn't get to. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I hope you enjoyed the whole game jam weekend.
actually i enjoyed the challenge of jumping onto his roof as well. And with the mental state theme, you could almost claim half the bugs as features lol, congrats again!
