Congratulations on the win!!! Unfortunately I didn't get this finished before the jam ended, sorry about that. This was wonderful. I loved the stories throughout, the writing and dialogue were so charming and real. Every character shone with their own wonderful personalities and portrayals. The art was fantastic and I loved the setting of the taxi for all of the meetings and partings. The driver was such a charming character and the ending perfect for this tale of many tales. Loved it.
Hello--Apologies for approaching you in this venue, but I don't use Twitter and I didn't see any other reliable ways to get in touch. I'm a small streamer on Twitch and I'd very much like to stream Spirit Driver with your permission this coming Monday 10/28. Streams start at 9:30-10pm Pacific and usually run until about 2am. I covered about 10 Spooktober games last year and I'm trying to do at least that many this year. Here's a link to my playlist from last year on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOb_IRx7hYDM-3DLrHU7iZhFWS90Epgzi
Here's a link to what we've covered so far in 2024: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOb_IRx7hYDN_qOFkYmSlTeIakaCEeqGN
Also, I've been doing Q&A sessions with creators post-playthrough on the stream. If you or other members of your team would be willing to talk with us on stream about your game and your process and maybe take some questions from chat--we'd love to have you. You can email me at mist3rshins@gmail.com, or message me on Discord: username mistershins.
Best,

Gosh, I loved every single minute of this--my favorite game of the jam so far, and honestly one of my favorite indie visual novels I've played overall! 💚 The premise reminds me of the film Night On Earth, albeit with more of a cohesive storyline--the writing is well-paced, witty, and tight; the art design is playful and cozy; the music and sound design elevate the scenes in an organic way. Absolutely phenomenal; thank you to the team for creating such a delightful experience! ✨
i liked the game sm, especially the characters and the overall stories! perfect for playing if you're looking for a short cozy horror game. i really loved how the outcomes were different with every choices you make. please keep up the good work! :)
This game was beautiful! The story telling was spot on and I loved how things connected in this game.
SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING
When the moon showed up I audibly gasped. Did not see that coming.
The moon is my favorite character by a long shot btw.
The variety of characters were really fun to see~ I liked this story a lot ^O^
