A game where you play as a captured monster. The goal is to learn some human language and escape your captors. To play (Windows) download the zip-file, unzip in desired location, and run game.exe. If you are not running Windows, the game needs Ruby 1.9.3 and some recent version of the Gosu gem.
The game was made using Ruby with Gosu. Ocra was used to create the executable. Gimp and Paint for graphics. Audacity and MilkyTracker for sound.
Tips: If you are stuck, compare correctly guessed words with their garbled counterparts. Controls: Mouse, enter to advance some messages, arrow keys (up/down) to jump backwards and forwards in time.

Absolutely loved the music on headphones, great atmosphere! I'm not sure if I understood all the mechanics - pulling words out of the aether or answering the question didn't do anything, but I decoded all the human talk and finished the game anyway :)
Nice to see another Gosu submission! I really liked the puzzle aspect of the game. I completed all the text (I think) but couldn't figure out how to escape. Very cool game!
Really interesting concept, I enjoyed it very much! Also loved the mood set by the abstract graphics and music. Well done! I didn't finish it though, having to wait for a whole minute for each word got tedious pretty quickly. :/
TackoramaLtd: Packaging up Ruby applications for non-Windows systems has been problematic, though I might look again for a solution.
Waterman7: No need to wait to find words, the once a minute ability is simply there to help if you are stuck. It it is possible to figure out words without using it.
Really fun game, quite an atmosphere you create with the music and the story. I was really disappointed when it ended, I could have gone on for a few more "times".
This is a great way to tell the story. Having to decypher all the things being said gets you quite hooked to the story.
