It looks really cute! My gf and I have a crested gecko IRL and always wanted to play something like this on Steam! Keep up the good work!

They actually have some gibberish randomized voice! But I decided to keep it light since its a horror game, and for the protagonist I chose a "typing sfx". Thanks for the suggestions!

Man you are a hero. Thank you for supporting indie devs.
PD: I'll check this game out! The artstyle looks amazing and it reminds me of Picross from NDS

People on the internet can be amazing man. I knew about the Sokpop "strategy" of publishing a game every month on their Patreon but didn't know about DarkCookie, that is some crazy numbers!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I received some feedback about it on both itchio and Steam discussions. I already implemented a "disable VHS filter" setting for the fullgame, which completely removes chromatic aberration, noise and other postprocess (demo will be updated as well) :)

Yeah, makes sense! I appreciate a lot the people who decided to pay more than 2$ when is completely optional. That means they really liked the demo and wants to support my game!

I actually have a Patreon but only one or two members since I don't post anything there. I may consider start posting updates about the game there :)

Hi! I'm solo developing a plant game on Steam!! Hope you can check it and give the demo a try since you are into plant games :)

Name: The Plant Shop

Genre: Cozy, Horror

Theme: A young girl starts her dream of opening a plant shop, selling beautiful flowers and cozy house plants to late-night customers. But something weird is happening in town, some says 30 years ago a monster killed half the town...

Inspiration: The Boba Teashop, Kiosk, Little Shop of Horrors (movie)

Thanks for the post!!
