Consume Me

THere aren't enough games about time management that really push the player like this. Sorely lacking in the industry. Beyond the, everything else about the game is excellent, the way it combines story and mechanics in a way thats actually challenging and feels rewarding feels so rarely seen. It's a true best-of-all-worlds scenario for an indie game. I adore the lighthearted view of its subject matter. I also made my 63 year-old mother play it, and she quite enjoyed her time. She said it was good for beginner players such as herself. Especially since the mouse is the only thing needed to really navigate.

muy divertido a pesar de los temas que trata, me enganchó muchísimo.

Fantastic game, really exceeded my expectations, especially as someone who is a little wary of slice-of-life rpgs that end up being an interactive story with sparce gameplay. Not the case here, there's plenty to do and decide on. The art and the humor immediately grabbed me and I really couldn't tear myself away until I got to the conclusion. Obviously a labor of love - the end really touched me. Very happy I gave this one a chance!

Phenomenal game. You play as the developer, growing up as a teenager and battling with all sorts of issues like dieting, self-esteem, relationships, studying etc. I found it emotionally engaging and even teared up at the end, and yet it's not a text-heavy game at all. It's a difficult resource-management game that let's you experience the character's stress directly through gameplay. The game does a good job of giving you lots of different tools to help you solve your problems but they often have big drawbacks so you are making real strategic decisions. Do you chug energy drinks so you can stay up late to get all your homework done if it means having a terrible headache the next day and being miserable? Or do you take a cheat day from your diet to give you more energy and starve yourself the rest of the week, risking a snack binge ruining everything? You are given space to make your own mistakes and when I messed up and had to restart a chapter I already had an alternative strategy in mind to try. At the same time, the way the story is delivered with adorable emotive animations and a protagonist that wears their heart on their sleeve, it's easy to buy into her world. Not getting a perfect score on a test or missing a party because you didn't do the laundry really does feel like the end of the world. Ultimately I was very invested and enjoyed watching Jenny grow up.

really great use of game design to tell a story. the art and tone are both just really good!

reaaally fun game and relatable story; im glad i found this at a time where im going to college soon! the minigames started out easy but they slowly became hard and i had to become strategic with using time as well so it definitely wasnt just good because of the story but also because of the gameplay. i would say the only thing i was put off by was the sudden inclusion of church towards the end but its nothing too major of an issue so i would recommend this game!

i luv
