I love the art style and the color palette! This game made me really emotional. This was a very creative way to incorporate the theme. Amazing work!
Thank you for trying it out and leaving the comment. I love to hear our game made some kind of impact even if small. This means a lot to us! Color palette is taken from Lospec (credits in description) - I loved the name of it - "Dno't Froget" which kinda fits the game!
Thank you again!
Very creative and excellent art! Good work!
Thank you very much!
Amazing game, so simple yet so impactful. I love the way interpreted the theme, so creative and unexpected. Big fan of the art and music as well. Thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you so much for playing our little game! We appreciate you leaving the comment and all the kind words!
It's a beautiful little game that is super well done but it's like watching what happened to my grandmother happen all over again and it made me cry. The art and music were beautiful. <3 Keep up the good work and much love.
Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment! This means a lot to us. I'm sorry it made you cry... and to hear about your grandmother. It's a hard subject, I hope we represent it with deserved respect.
Thank you for all the kind words!
you did treat it with respect and I feel like it helped me find a bit of healing. My grandmother past in 2020 and I feel like I haven’t stopped to just process it and your beautiful game helped me do that.
Damn... Ima call my mom now.
I love how this turned out with so little time. Looking forward to seeing more. Art choice is great, music is simple yet effective. Was clueless on the meds part but then it hit me. Great job
Thank you for playing! I'm glad this little project managed to invoke some feelings :) Thank you for your kind words!
Simple but good. The art is really nice. There are a few notable issues I ran into on the browser version (the teapot is shakey, and the hitbox for the socks is rough), but the story messed me up a bit. My grandma died in early September from dementia after 2 or so years so it hit pretty hard. Congratulations on submitting, nicely done.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! The pot shaking is intended (shaking hands) but the sock hitbox we will probably fix after the game jam - i don't know if we can change anything during the voting time.
Sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope we managed to approach the topic respectfully.
Thank you again <3
A very cute game, felt compassion for the grandma. Nice aesthetics too.
I would have loved a twist of some kind, the story is nice but something is missing for me.
Good job!
Thank you! For playing and for leaving a comment. We thought of a twist too but decided to keep it simple for the prototype :)
Thank you again!
This game is awesome. Small little gem. I love the interpration of the topic and also the complete implementation of it. The palette is awesome too <3
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you liked it <3

Ahhh, the feelings Q.Q
This is very well made and cute! I love the pixel art. <3
Thank you very much for playing and leaving a comment! It means a lot!
Pretty cool. Old pixel folk are slow. Nicely done. Good job.
Thank you for playing and kind words!
