Very clever twist on a classic gaming trope, and a good use of theme. The gag of it all was nicely offset by the dark tone. I got to the end, it was just the right difficulty and length, the narrative was engaging, and the final level was a great way to close.
Awesome! At first I thought on the last screen that you can't finish the game and it would end just like that, tried out a few more combinations and when suddenly the continue journey button appeared I actually laughed out loud :D
Super clever and really funny dialogue. I like how you separated each "game" element into it's own category for the different stats. The items I had to sort gave me a good laugh. Good job!
This is a weird, but fun game. I love the gameplay, except it's kind of unforgiving; on the very first level I had to choose EXACTLY the right combination of items and fit them in with NO extra space. Later levels seemed more forgiving, which is odd. But I love arranging stuff. (The bit where you have to figure out the most efficient combination of items, though, that makes me worry...I'm scared there will be too many options and I'll be stuck searching through them for hours...)
The tone of the story is...Well, I can get behind a post-apocalyptic parody with a guy traveling with 'Jeff', and then what happens to Jeff, and it's hilarious...but then he talks about his kids disappearing, it almost seems TOO serious. (I love the 'Blue Pane of Glass', though. Somehow the mere idea of that amuses me.) I guess maybe just a little editing to make sure you strike the right tone.
One thing I'd like to see is, if you try to put down an item, and it is blocked by one other item, the item you're holding gets picked down and the one that was blocking gets picked up. (I think Diablo 2, the obvious inspiration for this game, does it that way...)
Haha, never thought I'd see this subsystem made into a full game. Didn't make it to the end as I got stuck on lvl 3 I think. The difficulty curve was off but that's forgiveable. I could definitely see this playing well on a tablet. Excellent work, one of my favourites so far.
ouch. A brilliant ending to a game rife with dark humor. The twisted story combines with some surprisingly deep puzzle mechanics, making Inventory a winning package. Well done, friend. Well done.
I have played this very game inside of other games like Diablo or DayZ too many times to count. I just want a bigger bag god damnit. It's a funny idea to make an entire game about inventory management, but I don't know if this kind of gameplay is very fun on its own. Todd didn't make it, but we filled up our story quota anyway. I had some problems with the rotation, it seems like the pivot point was not centered on some pieces, which meant I had to click outside the window to place items (which obviously doesn't work) I really like the simple art on all the items, and how you convey the story of the game through the actual inventory management (requiring the player to fill in a lot of the blanks since the items are most of the time nonsensical). The only other thing I can really say is that the interface itself is rather stark (gray on black). I think maybe changing up the color choice on the background would have gone a long way. Nice job indicating what each piece was through the outline though. Mostly intuitive once I got the basics down, and really funny ending. Thanks for creating your game!

Hilarious ending; I liked the minimalist graphics and found the absurdity refreshing given the potentially dark subject matter.
Loved the ending!
Tight scope nailed spot on, good job.
good work!

Anyway, I had fun with this!
Great game, superb execution!
Well done, friend. Well done.
Great work making the game mechanic have relevance to the following story and humour as well! Few games do it as well as this! :D
The humour as absolutely top-notch, by the way.
