Really neat idea! I like how you actually have to type, though it gets a little tiring. I'd like to see a blinking cursor, and have key-repeat working.
Really great work! I love more absurd experimental games. The funny thing was I was going to name myself Greg. And then i was confused that i could not enter the age I wanted xD I tried several times and I thought for a short time that my keyboard broke... a few seconds later I realized what was going on here.
Took me a minute to realize what was going on with the typing/erasing mechanic, but once I did I laughed at the silliness and cuteness. Then I embraced my inner monster playa and got some monster hookups.
This is great! The art is really cute and I love how you can rewrite your responses. That's such a nice touch.
I played as Zoey one time but still typed out "I'm not a xxxxx kind of guy". Heh. The second time I played, I got to the questions about Grave of Bones and tabbed back to my profile to change it to be all about those shows. It totally worked!
I missed the desktop and the other chat tabs the first couple times, too. I got into a chat with Mark where I typed "I'm 21 years old btw", backspaced, but then couldn't type anything else. Then the screen went black. Not sure if bug or haunting.
This is really engrossing! And it feels alot like pretending to drive when you're a little kid with the slap-at-the-keyboard control scheme it allows, I really liked it!
Nice concept. Could be fleshed out more just because I got kind of sick of spamming my keyboard to progress the text so it'd probably work better if the text automatically progressed and tapping back would just clear the whole thing.
Definitely funny though; I was chuckling to myself a few times in there.
Fun idea. I always like things based around fictitious computer systems/programs. As others have said, wouldn't stick with the keyboard to progress text if it were longer, but it was fine for a short burst.
It's so funny! Very cute graphics, UI well implemented, and the random texts were fun to the point of me erasing and just typing again to see what would come up. Some music would've made it even better.
This is a REALLY interesting idea! Amazingly well-thought! Loved how different options would appear when you delete what you were writing. Also loved how your profile affects the options. That's BRILLIANT!
There are some bugs here and there that froze the game a couple of times, and some minor "UI" handling weirdness, but this is amazingly well done (UI systems are more complicated than what they look).
Could have used Windows95/98 SFXs for added humor and nostalgia, but I really enjoyed it as it is. :)
Ha! Nice take on the theme! I felt like I was discovering typing for the first time when I played, trying desperately to figure out how I typed a name that I didn't really type! Cute interpretation!
When I filled out a Monsterbook profile, I smiled. If you continue to develop this, when I continued to press random keys during chat, I felt like I had no choice. I didn't realize I could delete to get another option.
Succesfully romanced fluffymummy, but the game froze after Mark_Mogwai89 said "Oh, just looking for someone :) Maybe someone made rugged and wise by time." and I deleted my first response. Post-compo version running on Pale Moon x64 (a Firefox based browser).
Interesting take on the theme, one I haven't seen before. A bit laggy on parts, but still a solid compo entry.
Hi, my name is spooky sara, and I'm 1208 years old. I like some TV shows that I'm assuming are about vampires, but not episodes 1-3 :). Funny stuff, liked it!
I tried to delete my conversation with someone, but it ended up crashing the game :(
Super cool game! Very funny. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/K5Eh9xNFJGY

The abrupt ending was kinda weird though.
I also really like the look of everything.

I wish it was longer and somehow harder.
High scores all around.

Good job mate.
