Very nice game !
I really like how the ghost was portrayed throughout the story, and the "Ghost Wiki" page on the computer, however i have some criticism to make (in good faith):

Problems:

The lack of directions is a bit problematic, especially in the computer section, where no direction is given towards what should be clicked on or even searched, even if we can eventually find the page we need to find by clicking every link.
I'm not aware of how Renpy works or if it is an engine limitation, but the movement could be improved if it was grid based instead of free movements that leads to guessing which pixel interacts with what.

The Good Stuff:

Very gay and very wholesome, gay ghost is a big + from me
Cute artstyle !
Lesbian flag pattern on the walls :D
Baking ! (i am biased, i love baking)
Congratulations on making a game in such a short amount of time !

Suggestions:

The font could be more stylized to fit the game more, you can find some on Google Fonts or Fontesk (free fonts !)
More directions, as i previously said, it's a bit hard to understand what i'm supposed to do sometimes

I hope you continue on making such good games, and i wish you good luck !

Really good game!
The audio design is excellent and goes well with every scene, and the storytelling is amazing.
The environments are also well made and have a nice 3D effect to them that I greatly appreciate.
There is one thing that bothers me a bit, and it is the yellow name card on top of the dialog box, the font is already very thin so when the character names appear with a different color than black it becomes hard to see, but the rest of the UI is top notch!
Hope you continue to make awesome games like this one, and thank you for making it!

Great concept !
The game has a strong base with nice animations and good SFX

Things i liked
- Spinning around the xun while avoiding obstacles is pretty neat
- The sound effects are really nice and fitting !
- The xun animations and explosion are AWESOME !

Things i did not like as much
- The xun constant sound is nice for the first 10 seconds of gameplay , then it starts to become really annoying (although there is an option to disable it , it's still pretty annoying)
- I was confused on what i should do to start when i launched the game because of the text having the exact same color scheme as the xun , making it easy to miss.

Little suggestions
- A background music / ambience would be nice to fulfill the void (void that is here because i disabled the xun noise)
- Having only one dash for the entirety of the 22 seconds without any chance of gaining another feels a little useless , gaining dash boosts by dodging an obstacle would be a good example to make dash at least useful.
- Seeing the score on screen while doing circle would be nice to tell if we're actually making progress

Overrall it's a nice (rather addicting) game , great work !
(my best score is 75 :D)

Excellent game !
I was not ready to play such a big game for a game jam that only lasted one month , impressive !
The amount of dialogue ( and hilarious conversations ) is astounding.
I'm a big fan of your pixel art , the grass seems a bit too bright though , it's in steep contrast with the gameboy palette of every other sprites.
The fights are a little too repetitive , especially with the sewer slimes , fighting every slimes becomes excruciating when my character is underleveled.
I liked the humor of the game , and the different dialogues depending on how drunk we are.
Grinding and lack of directions is the only thing i could say hindered the experience , my only strategy when fighting was spamming the C button as soon as the fight starts so i can get as much experience as i need to destroy the rest of the slimes without using a third of my lifespan to get out of the sewers.
Amara is a great character !
I liked how she could read for me when i was not able to read signs before , that's really good !
The character designs are great , i love how the enemies look !
Overall i'm a big fan of your game , i like the concept and the greek references , the different monster designs (fights are more or less the same) , the amazing characters, and the different dialogues.
Hats off to you for making such a great game in such a short time , congratulations !
I'm glad i got to play it !

Great game !
Wonderful art , a nice quiz game with an acceptable number of questions
I'm just bothered by the questions about "who is trangender ?" with a clear cut difference between before and after appearance (not really that big of a deal , i understand it would be a tad harder to respond to the questions with identical appearances).
On the gameplay side , the music does not loop so clicking the mute 2 times is necessary once it stops, making it pretty annoying everytime in stops.
I'm a big fan of the art , the concept is nice and overall i liked the game !
Magnificent work !

Nice concept , really good start , it just needs more content.
From what i saw , the game has nice art , with some conflicting pixel art styles (not really a big difference but a difference nonetheless).
The sound effects are lacking , and a little loud or out of place (example : the footsteps are nice but not for grass and really loud ) , but the musics / ambiences are fitting and not out of place.
The top down movements are a little too slow.
Overall i liked the demo and i'm eager to see how the story will turn out , the concept is really nice !
Good work , i hope to see more of this !

Good game !
The art style is really unique , i'm loving those character designs and the shop aesthetic.
The story is quite good ! I did not see stupid conflicts that could be resolved in one simple word or useless dialogue to fill up the time , just a unique and wonderful story involving gender in a positive way without shoehorning in the facts by making an absolutely basic transphobe with lines such as "TRANSGENDER BAD" or "IM AN ATTACK HELICOPTER".
The non binary character is also nicely written , without the stereotypes widely attached to being enby and a believable personnality.
Thank you for this wonderful game / amazing artwork / excellent story !
I'm looking forward to your future games / works !

I'm stunned.
I have no words for how to describe the amount of emotions i felt thoughout this game / story.
It's absolutely beautiful , the writing is just out of this world.
I haven't felt like anything was amiss even though the game consisted only of text and music ,
i felt completely immersed into it.
Thank you for making such a masterpiece !

I'm pretty confused about what i just played but it was a pretty fascinating experience.
I never played any game with this kind of atmosphere , it's quite a unique feeling
The art and the sounds add another layer that plays a great part of this feeling / atmosphere.
I like the art and the strange backgrounds , that's some really unique stuff !
Fantastic work !

I really like the little metaphors through plants , it's well constructed and it's quite cute, though the lack of sound feels a little creepy.
The overall ambience of the game is nice ! I feel like it was a bit short but it is not really a problem considering the fact it did not need to be long.
I learned some things about plants and myself , and it was an enjoyable experience , thank you for making this game !

Nice game , i love the design of the UI and the designs of the characters !
Some small things i thought could be improved :
- The mouse is not confined by the game viewport so the mouse will go out of bounds when i turn right or left using the mouse cursor
- When i pressed play , i was not aware that i could go to the settings menu so i had to go to the menu to see the key to do that , a button to the top right corner would be appreciated
- The coins are pretty hard to get due to the speed of the character that is either too fast or extremely slow and the size of the coins
- NPCs area where you can talk to them is really small so hugging them is the only way to talk to one of them
- The camera is a little too close to the player
- Sound effects are lacking
- On my first playthrough , i was not aware i needed to click the arrow on the dialogue box so i immediately closed the dialogue box each time without knowing there were more lines

Some things i absolutely loved :
- BEST IDLE / WALKING / RUNNING ANIMATION IN THE UNIVERSE
- The designs of the characters is really nice !
- The character sheets in the menu are adorable
- Top notch UI design , easy to read and beautiful to look at
- The music is really fitting !
- The models are all fitting together nicely without conflicting art styles
- EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL

Overall i really like the game , good concept , nice art and good music !
I'm glad i played it , excellent work !

I love the concept of the game !
The hero is a bit too much op , we can be killed way faster than him and his lasers are fast as hell
The scale.x of the player is not reset when he respawn until he moves so it's a little strange

The hero's lasers are still visible after we respawn , but do not deal any damage until he actually does his laser attacks.

(My health bar is still full even tho i'm in the laser beam.)

Same thing for the hero's sword attack , still visible after he used it and we died but does not deal any damages.

The dialogues are hilarious , and there is no problem with them.

The ground rocks are shown in front of the laser even tho they're supposed to be on the ground.

Otherwise , the game is still awesome and i will replay it until i finish it :D

For a first game , it's pretty good !

I have a big list of things to say about it tho:

Some mechanics might be a little clunky , like the wall jump that activates even on the ground, it can even be used to skip half of some levels !
The gravity is a little too linear , maybe it's because it's a mountain and the wind goes up or because it's just too low , but it almost feels like we can fly.
The rope mechanic can throw the player really high , and when there is spike up there , you do not want to be thrown right at them , so we have to be really careful and spend 5 minutes spam clicking upward to have a chance of surviving.
The viewport is a little too squarey , but maybe it's just because my monitor is not very big, so it cuts off a part of the level and even the lower half of the dialogues.
The cinematics and the dialogues are quite good , i love how the mood between the Jack and Kelsey slowly change throughout the course of the game.
I never did python games so i do not know if it's because it's in python but the game is not very animated and feels a little stiff.

Overall , for a first game , i would say it's a success !

Great story , gameplay not too hard to understand , and little cinematics across the way makes it really good.

I just finished the game :

I like the music , but it does not go so well with the graphics.
The game is pretty hard because of the low jumpheight / strong gravity , so i have to make perfect jumps if i want to reach certain platforms.

The mechanics are simple yet really nice , i love the fact that a patch of platforms get colors once we reach them :D

A little indicator on where to find the coins would be pretty nice , searching everywhere from the start to the finish of the level is a little time consuming.

Overall the game is really nice and fits well to the theme c:

The graphics are awesome !

Smashing enemies with the cars feels really nice and the music fits well;

I just don't understand what the pink number in the top right corner is for , it does not goes up nor down.

A little health bar or something could really be useful , having only one health is pretty harsh.

The particles effects are awesome !

I noticed a problem tho , when killed , we can still dash.

The game is really well done ; the clues are not too vague but enough too understand what could be the painting ; the ui is simple but works perfectly with the game , and the music looks like it has been made for the game !

I noticed a problem tho , one of the clues is being cut off sometimes and i can't see the rest of the phrase:

Amazing game !

I love reading every descriptions , they're hilarious :D

I'm just sad there are no sound effects or music , but it's an overall great experience c:

edit: the fact that we can go to the next dialogue with any key is a bit problematic though , example : if i want to lower the sound of my PC it skips a dialogue.

edit 2: when we get out of home , we say that we have our phone with us but we still see it in our room (i just noticed that)

edit 3: after we delivered the package the dialogue in the house are different and i just find that amazing :D

I could play this for hours

The only thing i think (maybe/eventually/probably) might be a problem is that the music in the menu is a little delayed , that's all.

I can't aim properly with the gun , it's always rotated 90 degrees from the mouse , i can also shoot infinitely without ever reloading so i just have to spam the left click to kill everything on the surface of the earth.

The art is cute and the particles are amazing, but the background is pretty monochrome and feels empty.

The music does not loop so when you play , it stops forever and you can just hear the sound of your gun shooting at others.

A health bar would be pretty useful , because i never know when i take damage from anything , there is no sign of damage except the little pushback

I did not write all of that because i do not like the game , it's just a summary of what i think is / is not be good in it

This is an amazing game :D ! I think the bug could jump a lil bit further to the direction his facing tho, going straight with the little jumps takes ages to advance, the ceiling stopping completely the bug takes even more time to advance.
But i have to ask : what's up with the music? Sometimes it's fun and all and sometimes it feels like we're going to a funeral in 20 minutes , it's just strangely changing the mood of the game in a weird way.

Overall, it's a great game ! Keep up the good work you magnificient piece of existence :D
