I like all the options and routes you can take, plus the cute artstyle.
Enjoyed the different levels and the scavenger hunt concept.

Staying Home, most likely.
I'm confused on how to download this. I compressed the zip file but it turned into a folder with all the coding and stuff in it. I am confused on how to download it to play. ps: I am on mac
this game is for Windows only:(
I love this game. So many options, some relatable endings, and a good mixture of situational pain and hope. The art is great and the story all came together really well!
I don't usually give reviews but this game was something else. Even though it isn't very long, I still enjoyed every second of it. It is very cute and wholesome to see June and Peanut living together, and the ending was phenomenal. It got me really emotional. Thank you for this awesome game.
If you are reading this and haven't played this game yet, then go and download it now. You won't regeret it I promise.
Very cute and wholesome game! I really enjoyed it! The story and writing was so cute, and the art style was adorable and went with it perfectly. You did fantastic!
[SPOILERS]
The secret ending was perfect. I love how much inspiration you took from covid (especially the toilet paper). It was a perfect tragic ending, heartbreaking and yet satisfying in a way. Very well foreshadowed. It was made even better by the fact that June doesn't like tragic stories, which made it even more unexpected. Phenomenal writing and a beautiful story. You should be very proud.
I mean, thanks for spoiling :/
A lovely, sweet game. The art is amazing. Thanks for making the game, also I loved the music.
This was a really cute game. I really enjoyed playing it!
I'm so happy there's a girl playing games finally! So, I Couldn't figure out how to get the menu. So, I decided to watch you play. Your voice is so cute, and it goes so well with the story, that I end up watching the whole thing. Thanks for making this video. Now I'm going to play it.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment!
One of the most emotionally-charged games ever!
The only thing i don't get is the empty bookshelf... What was there?..
Hi! I lovee your game! But i have a problem.. i cant find the tablecloth.. its the only thing i cant find!
okay nevermind, i found it!
glad you did ^^
:O didn't actually thought you would reply!
Where can I find the scissors?
It's the only item that I didn't have so far TT
Thanks for playing the game!! They should be on June’s desk in her room!
Ty!
this game made me cry. like genuinely, i cried to the point it got hard to breathe! the writing is super amazing and peanut is super cute! anything including dogs is bound to make me 90% more emotional than usual, honestly!
I've been trying to download the game for half an hour but it says error failed to download everytime i try :(
This game makes me sad...
So far I have only gotten two endings, the happy one and the secret one, and after the secret ending I am honestly afraid to try to get any more! Hahahaha.
But seriously now, I really enjoyed the game. In this situation we are in, it makes it so that we can easily identify with June, and feel heavy along with her with everything that is happening.
(SPOILER)
Carrying with her the baggage of everything that's going on makes you feel like it's YOUR aunt that you've lost, and make you feel with her the shock of finding out everything in the secret ending. June and Peanut are two cuties aside, I loved them both, and was very shocked by the secret ending, and, although not as much than wich the secret ending, I was very surprised to find out that she was already 21! She looks so small, so more young! But, this is not somenthing bad, I even identify a little, since I look younger than I am (even though I am still a teenager). Hahaha
I guess the only criticism I have is that, in my opinion, the music that starts after she finds out the whole truth takes away a little bit from the atmosphere. But that's just my opinion. Other than that, all the other songs are very good in the game and I thought the game was perfect, I loved everything (and I thought the secret room you get after finishing the game was really cute), and I hope the developers keep making games like this!<3
this game honestly made me super sad at points! i played and got all the ending and the secret ending killed me! i got the happy ending while streaming and was happy that was the one i ended up getting! this is such a good game, super well made and i love the graphics! peanut is so freaking cute i cant... i would've cried if anything happened to peanut
for me, i kind of relate to june- i try to preoccupy myself with many different things to distract myself from what's actually happening, but sometimes i'm reminded of how bad things are, along with getting sidetracked a lot
maybe that's why i like the game so much- other than that though, i just really like it! good job on this game
god when i think about it, i really want more games like this, short games that can make you both laugh and tear up that people can also relate to- rhndiuhd
The secret ending was a surprise! it makes me wonder if covid will end, and how.
THERE IS A SECRET ENDING!?!?
yes!!
sad
idk why but i cant open the game, when i check on the task manager, the game try reopen the game again and again
hi! that’s odd. what system are you running on?
omg im sorry, i just logged in today, btw my problem is cuz some virus from my computer i think,not the game wrong, now i have installed the game and is work perfectly, and good story too, thanks for the good game
good to hear!! and tyvm!!
I had a great time playing and discovering all the endings! June is precious and I love her, and I'm supremely impressed with the routine she's able to keep up (could learn from that one..)
This does a nice job of mixing pure wholesomeness and sadness. Putting two opposing moods together is quite hard and both of you did a great job making them work together.
I am working on a game that is a horror and a RPG, sometimes trying to balance the two genres is quite a challenge. My brain is quite used to. Did you have a similar experience balancing the happiness and sadness in your own game?
Thank you for playing and the feedback! Honestly, it wasn't too hard to balance the two, because we kind of knew we wanted both in the beginning.
I think both of us are also more used to writing sadder stories, which helped. Also because the story is also a bit influenced by situations from real life, that might of made it less difficult.
Real life can sometimes be exactly what you need to make a good story. However, you could bend and twist it to fit your vision.
Yep, that's an appeal of games, which has an interactive experience but also lets us tell stories!
Hello if it's ok may I record this game? I'll make sure to give credit.
Yeah! go for it!! Would be great to see the recording too!
this game is awsome!good job devs!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it ^^.
June's hair is really cute! I love her hair.
I think her hair is pretty rad too :). Fun to design and draw! Thanks for playing!
The plot for this story is amazing! I love how the main character June was designed, she's just so cute! I also love how at the same time it was a happy story but also tragic. I enjoyed it very Much! I could play this game a hundred times and not get bored! Amazing Game!
Just popping in to say a big thank you! Character design has never been my strong suit, so it really made me happy to hear you like her design ^^! Thank you for playing!
I haven't download it yet, but I can already tell that this is a great game! I'm excited to play it. :)
Edit: Yeah, I knew it! This game is great! I definitely recommend it.
