Plot explanation (what's going on here?)

-The opening scene takes us back to the one of the recents that happened live during 
【WHAT'S IN THE BOX】Who's debuting?【Dokibird】

This opening scene is not an actual broadcast - it's an imagined situation in a parallel universe where this incident could have happened, which in turn leads to the protogonist's quest for gifts outside the house in a small town.

The joke turns out not to be a joke at all - the protagonist really wasn't lying about the danger of grass and feeding the fish.

A pathological hunger for profit drives the main character to urgently search for gifts, and they know exaclly how many gifts it takes to satisfy this carving.


But this must be done before she starves to death - fish are fish. 

Where will this joke lead? That's for you to tell me in the comments on the project. 


-Bug with Intro fixed in update.
-If you play in Web version do it in fullscreen mode.

-I really insist on playing the PC version. 

-It is stable unlike the browser version. 

-You will get a better gaming experience from the PC version of the game


A-D => Camera rotation

Mouse Wheel => Camera Zomm 

Left Mouse Button => Move (x2 => Run)
Try to click on the ground - the character doesn’t understand how to run over a gift, a pole, or a car - instead, they will try to find a path around the object

P => Pause
(Windows version "Escape" => Pause)

This game was developed solo for the "Doki Jam!" game jam.


All other materials were created and crafted with inspiration from the Dokibird community and fanbase.

Unfortunately, due to the aggression of the terrorist state, not all planned ideas could be implemented — the safety and health of loved ones always come first.


Known bugs (but no time to fix them within the jam):

  • Cars sometimes get stuck (I didn’t set movement priorities).

  • Second bug (you’ve been warned!): under no circumstances try to crash head-on into a car — you’ll starve to death! Why? Because in Doki there’s Deer Syndrome! (Bug or feature?)

  • It is recommended to open in "Google Chrome", this at least guarantees that the videos will play at the start and end of the game.

Loved the intro and the Doki companion looking at the screen. Impressive city, chill music. The controls were a slight wonky but it's definitely a unique and fun concept.

Thank you! I still have a lot to learn )) 

Great work, man! I love the car-pushing feature!

Thanks! 

You haven’t even seen the main character’s "deer mode" yet, when he stares at a car head-on

The game was pretty good, You made an entire city with working cars which i really like. One issue i see is that the screen seems to cut off some of the text. aside from that really good game.

The controls were wonky but I'm impressed you made a whole 3d world and a 3d game in a short amount of time. You did a good job! I just was confused at first but I got it down.

Thank you!
I clearly didn't do enough with the controls :) 
I wanted to ask about the storyline – did I manage to convey the essence of what’s happening in the scene?

Be careful, the game doesn't run on Opera GX but IT DOES work on Microsoft Edge :)

The controls are hard and it took me long minutes before understanding I COULD RUN by spam clicking left mouse button :D 

I went on a stroll in the city, it's nice ! Because of the bugs I couldn't complete the game but decided to visit instead ~
This is a solid base to make a nice collectible game ! Keep it up !

Noted bugs : Some presents are out of reach, for ex. at the car washing station, in front of the starting house etc 
The gift in front of the house kills you ? I don't understand why.

Good job & keep it up !

Thank you for the feedback! That's really nice of you! 
- This is my first attemot at trying to make a project of this format in a Web build, and unfortunately it's pretty obvious that it turned out rather unsuccessful - i had to figure things out on the go. But despite that, it was still a pleasant expirience:)

I'll add these funny moments to the list of bugs? though i difinitely won't have enough time to fix or polish them within the jam's timeframe.

As for the controls - you'r absolutely right, they're not intuitive at all, and the instructions are really weak. Even I can't keep them in my head, let alone the players:)

Oh! About the gift in front of the house! 
- That's how I found out that the intro video doesen't play and it actually contains the instructions and hints about the gifts, the fish in the corner of the screen and even the answer to the question: "Why does the grass killing Doki?" :) 

Thanks a lot again, I'll do my best to inform players about these little* details:)

No problems ! It is a very good first attempt, and as long as it runs in at least 1 browser, you're all good ! I am glad to hear you still learned and had a god experience
It's okay ! You can always come back to your game after the jury voting. 
Ahah, I see i'm not the only lost in the controls ! 

you did great and it's a cute game !
