Didn't manage to write a virus to take over the internet ;-)

Enjoyed the dialogue though ;)

This was really good, had me playing through a few times until I won - the first time I didn't realise that I needed to be nice.

A great game; I really had fun playing this one. I wish it was longer, but given the replayability/multiple endings it's probably about the right length. The dialogue is well-crafted and humorous, and I couldn't help but test out different options to see what would happen. Very well done, guys - Dorothy would be proud!

WE TOOK OVER THE INTERNET! Dorothy and I are in love forever.

Great game. Really funny! There should be more dating sim style games like this on Ludum Dare!

Really solid entry :D Didn't even feel quite like Twine, really impressed with what you guys were able to achieve with only HTML. Great story as well, really funny xD Dorothy formatted herself on me lol

Awesome. Even computer have feelings. Intresting interpretation of blue scree.
In my game for Compo I have computer too, but it not so cute.

Aw Dorothy's so cute :'< It'd have been amazing if she could talk with cute robot sounds <3

The only bad thing I have to say is that reading white text on this bright blue screen really hurts my eyes, maybe you should change the colors a bit?

Really cool idea! Unique take on the traditional visual novel. Even if dorothy won't love me. Great work!

Great :)
Nice idea, I never dated a computer before.
gladers9 Dec 2014, 20:02
I played it through twice to see the different endings, it was a lot of fun! I'm definitely going to recommend everyone play this!

Neat idea, music, graphics, and use of theme! It reminds me a lot of "Digital: A Love Story."

My only complaint is that the narrative fell on the lazy "jealous girlfriend" trope; that was really jarring and kind of took me out of the story.

Hilarious dialogs and nice touching music. The game is simple bot not as boring as some dating sims. :D

Had a good laugh playing this game! Could use some more personality types or deviations with Dorothy, but for the amount of time spent, I thought it was very impressive.
