Cozy House
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
There's no such thing as a free lunch, but sometimes you can have a free house!
But as you get settled in this cozy little cabin you inherited from your grandmother, the more you get the feeling that maybe, just maybe, there's a price to be paid after all...
This game was created as part of the Seattle Indies Slow Jam 2021: https://itch.io/jam/seattle-indies-slow-jam-2021
Thank you so much to the Seattle Indies for an incredible jam!

You're absolutely welcome to make a video about this or anything else I've made. The team and I are always happy to see others engaging with our work.
Thank you for playing, and let me know when your video goes up! We'll be glad to check it out.
Really cool game! I enjoyed the voice acting and the story- really interesting to change the pillows and such! Nice ending and definitely is a unique twist! :) The team did great!
Thanks so much! We had a great time and we're hoping to build this into a full game.
I spent hours on “get me into heaven”… what am I missing?
Sorry about that! We're definitely going to add some hints in the next build. I'm going to add them as spoiler text on the actual game page.
For now, HINT 1: The important thing about "get me into heaven" is that the "G" and "H" can be ripped individually -- in other words, made into different letters.
EDIT: I've added a puzzle guide as a dev log on this page. Thank you for the feedback.
Howdy, after reviewing the dev log I know I definitely tried that answer numerous times, perhaps my game was bugged? I'll be jumping in and trying again later today as I am ultra curious on the ending. I do appreciate your response.
Edit: I don't know if you want to know about bugs, but there is a subtitle bug where the subtitles persist indefinitely if you click the arrow before the subtitles had a chance to finish.
Cheers
Huh. Quite possibly. I haven't been able to reproduce that. did you do a small, upper-case L with the H? I probably should have made it recognize lower-case Ls as well...
I was definitely able to reproduce the subtitles thing though. I'm adding it to my list of bug fixes. Thanks again!
