Garage Sale

A very short but very relaxing and cute game. Perfect if you need to unwind after a long or stressful day.

Pretty chill

You play as Juniper and go around Lettuce Village helping other villagers by collecting items to complete the quests while visiting various garage sales in their houses. The story is short, simple, and lovely. The creativity of the names such as Broccoli Bay, Salad City, and Thousand Island Island is amusing. Helping a bear catch his fish's girlfriend, but the bait is lettuce? Why not? After all, it's Lettuce Village. Helping a cat to find the missing ingredients to cook linguine? Then, help a doc dog to crack a code for his safety box. Those are some hilarious characters and fun quests to be completed while wandering around the village on the garage sales day. The developer still manages to create different characters with unique personalities despite it being a short game. The music is lovely and very appropriate with Juniper's first lone outing on the garage sales day. The drawings are beautiful and smiley worms are everywhere around the village.

i didn't really expect this game to hook me like it did, and then things sort of clicked into place - the art direction is adorable, the characters are charming, and the fetch quests aren't too arduous (especially if you're me, who just bought things on a whim and having them already ended up being useful for future quests, lol). really sweet little game and i enjoyed it a lot <3

This is one of the cutest games I have ever played!

super cute and full of charm!! loved going through all the quests

If you're the type of person that likes to click on everything in point and click games, this is the game for you; it's a bit like a point and click without the puzzles. I explored basically everywhere and bought as much stuff as I could before actively trying to complete any quests, so I ended up completing quests right after I started them a few times. There was always a special line of dialogue if I already had an item I needed, which was a nice touch, and I'll probably play again in the future to see what everybody says without me blasting through quests on accident. It also warns you before you're about to go into the final area so that you can go back and finish things if you'd like, which I appreciated. This game is on the shorter side (it took me about 3 and a half hours to 100% it), but I picked it up on sale and thought it was a cozy way to spend an afternoon.

Cuteness abounds in this cozy, nostalgic Gameboy-style game with beautiful pixel art. You play Juniper, a little girl who is walking around her hometown, Lettuce Village. It's a local holiday, "Garage Sale Day," where everyone is hosting garage sales. Juniper is given the quest by her dad to make three friends, and friends are made by, how else, completing people's quests. Juniper completes quests by exploring the town and locating items, people, or information. I enjoyed the variety of the quests available despite the relatively simple gameplay style. The town is populated by a ton of characters, and I thought the writers did a great job of establishing unique personalities for all of the characters that matched their quests. The town also has a handful of mysteries that feel fun and rewarding to complete. It's up to the player to choose where the game ends, and you can meet the bare minimum requirements and finish the game and have had a pleasant time, or you can try to find all of the quests you can, speak to literally everyone in town, and collect literally every item for sale at the garage sales. The type of experience that the player has is really in their own hands. As far as the themes of the game, I really enjoyed the sense of community, which felt resonant compared to how isolated many of us feel in reality these days. Lettuce Village is a diverse neighborhood racially, with a pair of lesbian moms, and also there are also people who are dogs, cats, and moles, etc. People know their neighbors and want to help each other out just out of a sense of community (or at least, Juniper helps people out, lol). This is contrasted with another city nearby (not visitable), where capitalism is king and its residents feel isolated. I enjoyed that Juniper's parents live separately (the game begins at her dad's house, and ends at her mom's house.) Their separation is not explained, and the game is unconcerned with their history. I enjoyed this implicit normalization of divorce and/or atypical parenting setups. And that's Garage Sale. A very cute and sweet cozy game, and it's a fun time.

amazing 1000000/10
