The Wish
Your story begins with a Wish.
You are a silly-looking cat attempting to navigate the mundane challenges of adulthood. Traverse a doodly world full of humor while rolling your dice Dungeons & Dragons-style to succeed or fail in comically exaggerated ways! Every task has multiple outcomes. Can you find them all?
...
...Despite everything you're doing to distract yourself, your doubts linger with you from last night.
No matter how hard you work...
No matter how long you work...
You can't shake them.
It seems like this world feels them, too.
~ Features ~
- 50+ really bad but lovingly drawn illustrations.
- You can fight a potted plant.
- There's a hippie dog who gives you life advice.
- I swear some of the tasks are funny

Hey! Hey, you!! So... some impossible-to-explain bugs cropped up in the exported version of this project. Kinda ironic yet appropriate for a game about learning to accept the unpredictability of life... If you see some weirdly formatted text, or text that's missing the last letter, that's why xD
Biggest glitch so far: the "look out the window" button freezes up the game in the web version. Thanks to Widby Games for the heads up on that! Just don't click on it in that version and you should be all good.
If you find any other bugs I missed, feel free to let me know!

This game was made for Safe In Our World Mental Health Game Dev Champions 2024! The original concept was made for Godot Wild Jam #71 back in July, well within this jam's time limit. Certain backdrops and the dice sound effect are public domain, but art/music/other stuff was made by me!
Download
Install instructions
Just download, extract the zip file, and run the .exe! For added comedic value you can try the console version to see the sheer unbelievable quantity of warnings and badly spelled debug messages that issue forth from my code like stench from a heap of rotten tomatoes.

Hey MysteryLad, please can you write in to hello@safeinourworld.com? We are missing contact information for you for any comms about the event. Thank you!
Haha, thanks for the laugh, and the absurd dice-rolling way of navigating life. Your art inspires me, who struggle to feel legitimate doing game art, to keep trying, because it's a huge part of the charm of the game despite being technically wonky <3
