I'm glad SlaughtyStudios posted a video of their playing because I was having a hard time installing this game for some reason. This was the only game I saw so far that required that sort of installation. There were some interesting mechanics and puzzles in this that I will want to explore more. There were some spelling/grammar (translation?) issues, but this was interesting.
Very good looking and atmospheric game. I love the lighting and breathing effects and the art and graphic design are really well done. Story is pretty good and intriguing but a little dark and in my opinion, misses the Christmas vibe, but in fairness, I didn't get to completion on this one, so I didn't see the ending. The QTE on the bridge with the falling boulders really got me and having to reload and repeat stuff just didn't sit well for me as a player. Also I think the sliding ice puzzle is a little messed up because I'm not sure how I got through it, lol. I'll end up redownloading since you've made an update, but in all honesty, while clever and executed well, the mini games are kind of punishing and don't lean into fun as much as I would have personally liked. Over all it's a well put together game with a unique look and atmosphere and shows a lot technical competency with RPG Maker.
This game has SO MUCH potential. It left me sooo frustrated and I'll get to why.
First, the graphics were nice. While they won't blow anyone's mind, the maps were well put together.
Second, the story... the story was fascinating. It was hitting right in the feels until the trope cop-out. Argh! Why? I wish the main story would have continued and closed in a more clever heartwarming way.
Finally the gameplay... while the mini games are REALLY WELL done, the player experience is where this game suffers in my opinion. Players cannot skip the mini-games, and some are quite tricky to get through, especially the QTE for the falling rocks. The one hit and it's game over left a bad taste in my mouth. I wish I could just re-try right away instead of having to load the game and re-start the level. If you were to add a simple skip mini-game option so the player can get back to the interesting story, this would add wonders to the player experience.
A well made jam game, which left so much more to be desired.
This was a charming entry with many fun puzzles and adventurous moments (Quick time events, etc.) I love the attention to detail on the environment and how players interact with them. The backstory about her family was also a cool touch. :D I guess I wish I saw more Christmas stuff in there aside from the snow, but overall this was very well made. Great job! <3

Thank you for trying out my game ! and of course thanks for your feedback as well !
I'm really sorry if the mini game is kind of too hard, that's why I'm do a hot fix for that so you can skip it
honestly, I want to make a battle focused entry at first, but seeing the time limit I scratched the idea and just going with this mini puzzle instead

Edit: Updated the game !
Thank you very much, really...you didn't know how much this mean for me.
for the gameplay, I think I can give them a skip button after they fail for several times, nice Idea !
and I think I could add those retry thingies !
As for the story, it's kind of rushed, and making a game with duration limit is harder than I think ahaha
