That. That was fantastic! I like how you snuck 1000 kittens in there. Now I want a poster or something with a bunch of kittens riding on a dino's back. XD

As someone who grew up in a YEC household and DID hand out chick tracks I found this particularly hilarious. I've also met Ken Ham, the curator of the museum! Yeah, he's a loon.

Haha, fantastic! I love the bit at the museum.

That was great! I think I accidentally clicked during the finale, because it brought up the save game screen. I saved, but couldn't figure out how to reload or go back out of the screen, so I think I missed the best parts everyone is talking about in the comments. Is there any way to load?

Reminds me of Costume Quest as you ring the bells. :) Good job!

This is the funniest shit I have seen in a long time - I'm recommending this game to all my friends :D

Really funny, and well-made. I love the chat and choices for all the people. I did have to go get a regular mouse to catch the kitten - my trackpad wasn't up to the task. Also, the conspiracy guy glitched - he joined me even though I never did anything to help him - it just jumped to the bus trip. Very fun, great humor, and a good game.

I couldn't figure out how to catch the kitten and succeeded only by accident. Also, I'm missing music.
Besides that: Awesome! *rofl*

I LOVE it! 5*'s for Overall, Fun, theme and Humor. I'm giving you a high theme rating because the theme clearly inspired you. :)

Funny one, it's a pretty original interpretation of the theme. Nice job!

Pretty hilarious. Plays the way I imagine a funny web comic should play if it were interactive.

Was I the only one who clicked one million times before getting that damn kitten?
Cake&Code4 Sep 2012, 03:54
That was pretty hilarious! Humor was top notch and the choices were great. Just wish you would've used a font other than the default Ren'Py one, I've seen that font a million times by now with all the Ren'Py visual novels ;)

I saw what you snuck in there ;)

That is a very interesting take on the theme, if a bit preachy (he he). The kitten sub-game was kinda glitchy, but it was really nice that there were different ways to convince different characters.

It would be nice if there were more characters, and you had partial win conditions.

Thanks for the game!

Truly awe inspiring. :D The ending was the best. I couldn't get the conspiracy theorist though.
goerp12 Sep 2012, 11:12
Ha, this is definitely a new take on the theme. Funny endings as well. The drawings look really good.

That was the funniest game I've played in a long time... not just limited to LD48!

The Mac link is the same as the Windows link, is that correct? Can't see a Mac binary to run after downloading.
