This is my very first game and I am surprised I actually managed to ‘finish’ it before the deadline!
I wasted the whole first week with things I had to take out of the game last minute because I wouldn’t have made it in time otherwise. It’s a visual novel made with ren’py and Virt-a-mate.

Me as I submitted this game:

One day you wake up and realize that someone’s cursed you! Can you find out who it was before it’s too late?

The game has 10 endings :slight_smile:
I really hope you have fun playing it!

When i needed to choose who cursed me, i got this error after choosing option homeless girl
Other options work fine though
Ps. It would be nice if you decreased amount of clicks needed to make a drink, just to 3-5 at most.
I want to enjoy other endings, but fact that i need to click so many times during making drinks, is just annoying. It does not help that i need to bruteforce through drinks choices because i’ve no idea about names of drinks.

I’m very sorry about that! Thank you for telling me about those issues! I added an updated version to the itch.io page. Thank you for playing the game and I hope you have fun! :blush:

I’ve only achieved two of the endings so far but I enjoyed them both! The character models are quite high quality

really liked this/. Honestly I’d love to see a full game with these characters cuz there’s definitely a lot of room to expand on these characters and storylines. Great job

Thank you so much! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And that was actually kind of the plan! I wanted to see if people liked this and if they are, I’ll make a new game/ alternative story with these and more characters in the hometown of a certain girl who strikes up a conversation with you on day 2 :slight_smile:

I was able to get everything but 6, 9, and 10 on the play through. I tried as many combos that I could think of, so not sure what I had to do in order to get those.

It was a fun game and I definitely had a good time playing through some of the different branching storylines. The renderings are only okay, but they definitely work for a Game Jam game and are good enough to not take away from enjoying the different branching storylines. The characters themselves were very well done and I enjoyed their interactions. Nice work!
