Red Trees

No gameplay explanation yet,
but I'm a sucker for this kind of graphic style.

Yay! I love cute/funny things with horror elements! <3 :D

This game is brilliant! So brilliant that I was admittedly a bit sad when it ended
^ ^;

I was thinking of writing a review but I'd rather just dump my thoughts here.

Adorable art, I love how you did so much with only like 4 colours. But, as Dragnfly was saying there really needs to be a run button. Like seriously, you don't have many maps just untick disable dashing there is literally no reason I can think of that you'd keep us at such a slow pace in a game that's 90% backtracking.

Also you might want to encrypt your archive. I eventually got stuck, and because it wasn't encrypted I decided to poke around in the game's file to find out how to finish it (it's because I didn't think of who to give that damn lollipop to). And through that I found a problem, unintuitive gameplay.

Since your game is comprised of fetch quests to progress, having them be more intuitive would be good. I mean, I see a cat outside, and some milk in a fridge. Yet that's not the way I'm supposed to get the cat? And when the cashier said that I needed to find something to help her, I thought that meant help her stay awake. Then I'm shocked when I can't take that protein stuff and make her an energy drink! When I finally looked in the game's files and saw she needed a pillow, (and of course avoiding the spooky house because I hadn't gotten there yet) I started raging over how absolutely none of the beds had events on the pillows. There are so many beds with so many pillows, how is that NOT the logical conclusion?

Granted most of the fetch quests had logical progression, but regardless. Just getting into the gameplay took forever.

But okay enough of the bad stuff I really wanna point out that you had some hilarious bits, like the mother and the trash. Like, of COURSE we're going to be looking in the trash cans of an RPG, it's a great way to make the player the punchline.

Also, the names of the grocery products as you made your way down the aisle. Since we're of course just going to be checking each space consecutively in one direction, I like that you made use of that to make it funny. Normally I give up half way through a row of something, but since I could tell it was going somewhere humorous with it, I kept on down the line. Really good jokes ten outta ten

Btw that ending was... confusing and came out of no where, but I like the direction you took.

Finally got around to playing this, and I thought it was super cute :D Definetly great for a first game! Though, I probably wouldn't call it a horror game ^^;

I also did a LP for the game, and I'll probably get around to uploading it tomorrow, and I might write a review afterwards :D I did enjoy it, but it had some minor flaws (mostly just passability issues and not knowing what to do next because of lack of info ^^)

Seems like, a very alice in wonderland kind of thing mix with mother....

Anyone played it yet?

Just finished the game and I absolutely loved the graphics, the music, and the warm and nice feeling you get when playing this. Games of this kind always help me to calm down and feel better, thank you for creating such a cute little story!
I remembered your description before starting the game and did indeed enjoy it in a bright room and with a warm cup of tea. (´ω｀*)
Also the characters are so adorable, I want to draw some of them now! Once again thank you so much for this wonderful game~!♡

I did finally get to play this. It was an enjoyable fun time.

I'm still standing beside my desire for a run button. Disabling run is only for if atmosphere and locales are your game's draw, like Dear Esther or games like Journey that intentionally slow you down at key points. This game had none of that so it was just an inconvenience. I'm known for my patience in some circles but this really isn't about patient or impatient. It's just a convenience that was intentionally removed at the benefit of nothing.

Still, though, this is a great game because it's so simple and just outright enjoyable. It doesn't intentionally rip at the heartstrings like Listen or To The Moon, it doesn't try to do anything big and sublime like Journey or The Last of Us. It just does it's simple thing and the player walks away with fond memories.

Cool game, that ending was unexpected! I think the fisher was very wise, I saved his advices. The shopkeeper girl was so tired she touched my heart </3 same for the mopping girl and those indirects of the restaurant. Universal emptiness is free!

Something that bothered me a bit, that the unidentified meat could have been human meat, and the monster would like then eating such meat if he/she started tasting, but who knows?

was a short and nice game. Well-made, no bugs, short and simple, like it. Just point out that it would be good if one´s able to run because the protagonist girl is a bit slow.

Buns. Hell, I want lots of Buns.
