Hi! I think this happens with programs that come from indie devs a lot! You can make an exception for the game in your windows defender, alternatively you could try playing through the itch.io desktop app :)

I'll be writing my own post-mortem so no one is subjected to me rambling for too long BUT!
This is my first time participating in a ranked jam and it's been... an experience?
Firstly, grappling with the idea of being rated myself? I have horribly fluctuating self-esteem, and while I'm proud of my little project, there is always going to be a part of me that compares myself to others and feels bad, especially with so much talent on display. Honestly, though, I'm not really thinking about the ratings I'll receive anymore, I'm just happy to have taken part. It'll actually be nice to be able to quantifiably see where things didn't connect for people. I've done post-game surveys before, but they are more player-based than dev-based, and I think the peer feedback would be helpful.
Secondly. HOW. DO YOU. RATE. GAMES?!
I've had a crisis of conscience to be honest, because I feel like the ratings are personal, and yet somehow I feel like my opinion should not be held in any regard. My personal taste is silly and specific, there are so many games here that I honestly would've never explored where it not for the jam (which makes me the poorer one), but I do find the idea of rating things unfamiliar and strange?
The category that gave me the most trouble was theme incorporation. Is it my enjoyment of the theme incorporation? The level of theme incorporation?
Anyway, I feel like I'm failing a test somehow...
Thank you for playing to anyone who has been subjected to my game, and thank you hosts for arranging this wonderful(ly stressful) time for us <3
vibes are immaculate in the worst way <3
this is a super cohesive story that left me perplexed and horrified, with many questions!
i thoroughly enjoyed the choices/reactivity and the thoughtfulness therein.
(also the strangers are kind of cute if we ignore uhm... everything?? id totally end up being the molly that just happily eats the cake and has new friends. Oops)
I really enjoyed the strength of comedy in some of the lines of this game, truly had me laughing and saying aloud "that's brilliant!"
I was very intrigued by the characters!
I echo the sentiment of the narrative being a little hard to follow, but assume as English readers we aren't getting the authentic experience 😉
Some things might not be to your taste, and that's fine! But comments like this are hurtful to real people working very hard to make these games, all for free from out of sheer passion.
Please consider reframing your comments in a kinder way in future, or expressing something in a constructive manner rather than just saying it's 'bad'.
As one of the said 'voice actors', I'm just a humble silly editor with a mic who just happened to be the duck, but the rest of the cast are dedicated talent who are in tons of things, are always honing their craft, and I think deserve some consideration in this matter ❤️
If there is something about story that isn't to your personal tastes, that's also cool! But again, such comments aren't particularly helpful or encouraging. I know many of us are open to constructive feedback when framed properly, but 'not too bad' is something we can't really work with.
All the writers and the director of this project worked super hard on bringing something comedic, light-hearted and engaging, I personally have no doubts the full game will live up to expectations!
