Never Alone Hotline

Just a word : excellent !

It was a good read. Again nice meta aspects in there. Fitting the theme nicely!

I liked it!
Cute story, cute characters.
I would have liked it more if it were less silly and had more of a plot.
Still, very charming!

I just like it. It was a really good interactive experience. Nice work!

This game is strong.
There are sad moments, fun moments, cute moments...
Lot of emotions. Excellent work!

Great game. I think the writing is actually quite good, especially for a non-native speaker. Using pulsate to make the music was brilliant, it fits the game perfectly.

A few real LOLs here, nice work!

I really liked this one, it hit the theme perfectly, had a great mood and was pretty well written despite translation errors. Definitley recommended.

"It was a kitten" ... Ahahahahah xD

Lovely game and nice take on "alone". The cat was great.

Wow! I couldn't hope so many people would like this game! I'm very happy. About the translations errors, could you tell me where are the mistakes, so I can correct them for a new version ?

Being a fan of point and click and visual novels, i loved this game.
Not only was it longer than i expected (which is good), it also dealt with serious problems and non serious problems.
Plus, seeing as i have social phobia, the topic really interested me till the end. Would read again/more :D

I have to say that I hate point and click and reading text, but this game got me addicted to the end. great job. Giraffe ending joke got me good.

I really reallly really liked your graphic novel. Amazing work here.

great job, it's really touching. don't be sorry for your english I though it was fine. I know my french isn't nearly as good. you should be proud.

Fun stuff! The ending confused me a little, but otherwise it was fun to play. I didn't see the kitten in the end!

Wonderful work. You got some talent to hook people on your stories :)

Thanks to all. @Danbolt : you don't have to see the kitten, you just hear it ^^

I remember trying to make a game with Adventure Game Studio years ago... I spent 3 weeks on a single dialogue tree and decided to just stop. lol
This was a refreshing break from the other entries! Thanks!

Nice, I liked this one. Got quite a few laughs out of being an ass to everyone, but maybe I'm just a terrible person.

Thanks for your review of my game by the way, "Spider-Man-supersonic-exhibitionist-that-feels-the-pee" (if Google translate was accurate) is now my favourite way to describe the character xD

I love this game! Me and my sister were pretending to be the callers. It was so fun! We did it twice first, we were nice, then we were total dicks. It was awesome. Overall this had got to be my favorite game! You deserve to win!

@Zemmi : the right translation would be "supersonic-exhibitionist-spider-man-that-smells-pee" but the other one is okay ^^

@Kkyla and his/her sister : I'm not sure I really deserve to win cause plenty other games are great and this is only my second Ludum Dare, it would be unfair ^^ But thanks a lot.

Very original entry. I loved your take on the theme ; good job.

This is so VERY awesome!

Really excellent work! Keep it up :)

Is there a way to run this windowed? It's not playing friendly with VirtualBox :(

Oh nevermind, found it :P

Really nice little game, simple, fun, and amusing :)

fantastique!

So simple, so funny and amusing ;)

You have big + for theme, humor and kitten :D
Great game!

Wonderful little game. I had to play over and over again because I wanted to see all the little variations in the dialogues. I don't have much to say, it was pretty great all around!

I will certainly try your hot chocolate tip for the next LD. Seems to have worked well for you! Also thanks for rating so many games.

Awesome, srsly

Okay, I got to sing Eleanor Rigby to a guy who just took cyanide pills and called the Never Alone hotline. That's a first.

good stuff ..original :) i couldnt fingure out how to exit tho..had to end task ;p

Really nice, minimalist style. Good job!

Oh no, this doesn't work on my machine! :( I'm on 64-bit Windows 7, and the mouse control doesn't work in full screen. In fact, it might just lock up because it doesn't exit properly. I tried windowed mode too and it locks up again.

@binary_girl : I know...that weird. There is an exit function (echap) but this one only seems to work on windowed mode, I don't understand why...

@Dock : I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 too, so that's weird. I'm not sure I understood : Does it work on windowed mode ?
I know AGS encounters some problems on some computers, but I absolutely don't know why and I haven't seen any reports of these problems on AGS forums...

That was lovely. Great on mood and humour. The writing was generally very well done, nice dialog overall, and the few typos certainly don't ruin it. I'll have to play through again sometime (not now because there's more LD games to play) to see more of the dialog.

You say in your post-mortem that you felt you could have been more expressive if you were writing in French (or something like that). If you were to do a French version sometime in the future, I'd be interested in playing that (French is supposed to be my second language, but I'm crazy out of practice).

Thanks. I think there is gonna be a french translation. I'll post it on Ludum Dare when it will be done.
