This is Milgram, a game about pressing one button or the other button. There are three endings to find.
INSTRUCTIONS: Just follow the given orders (if you want) and click on things (by centering them on the screen and clicking) to interact with them (Buttons, chairs, doors, etc.). WASD to move, and you can hold down ESC to free the mouse cursor.
!!WARNING!! The web player is a little slow! If you get a white screen, just give it a second to load. If you don't have a stellar internet connection, please consider downloading the game to play. The .zip is about 20MB (Mostly audio).
!!WARNING!! This game contains cinematics that include flashing lights and patterns. If those are things that make you upset in any way, you have been warned.
!!WARNING!! This game contains crappy voice acting, which includes some cussin'.
There are two "normal" endings and one SUPER SECRET ENDING. Comment below if you found it!
IF YOU GET A WHITE SCREEN ON THE WEB BUILD, IT'S LOADING (GIVE IT A SEC)!
EDIT: First-night voting's over for me; thanks to everyone who rated and commented, and thanks for all the positive feedback, it really means a lot!
Amazing! I am hesitant to spoil what I found. I don't think I found the super secret ending. Maybe. There was a long speech and I really didn't know what was going to happen and then.. !
That was, without a doubt, one of the coolest LD entries I've ever played. Just extremely cool all around - reminded me a lot of games like The Stanley Parable.
Need to play other games, but I'm definitely coming back to try and get more endings!
Only complaint was, ya, the controls/clicking was a little clunky at times. Took me a while to get myself sitting down :P
I really liked this. I didn't get to explore all the endings, but it's pretty good. The only issue is that the controls are a bit tough on the web version, especially when you can't see your mouse cursor. I'm sure it's a limitation of the web version though, so no worries. But all good! Thanks for putting this together!
Unfortunately either due to my headphones being busted or the web version not doing so, the sound for the screams wasn't coming through. But very cool otherwise !
Solid idea. And I deff agree on downloading it to make things faster, but having the web option there is nice. Not much "gameplay" really here. Made me think of a watered down Stanley parable maybe.
Other than minor mouse targeting issues, this was fantastic. Voice acting may be first pass, but there is a surprising amount of it and it messaged fine. Awesome style!
Hey, Nicly designed game. I didn't like the dialogue though or the story or whatever you wanna call it. I could see where you were going with it. Very well executed.
Classic experiment (might have taken it too far thought), but you missed the impact of having an authority figure in a white coat with a clipboard give you the test.
Also needs an aiming crosshair/dot, interaction highlighting or a bump into to get onto chair thing.
I was playing this and I thought to myself "this is one of those experiments that actually happend right?" before the narrator even brought it up. This just recreates the experiment perfectly. Great game, perfect execution.
Wonderful interpretation of the theme! I had trouble sitting in the chair for some reason; maybe having just a dot crosshair would be useful. Other than that it was a fantastic execution!
hahahaha you motherfucker, you actually made me jump with the secret ending haha
very cool and interesting game, the voice acting was actually pretty good and funny enough to make me find all 3 endings. Nice simple idea/concept, but executed very well. A very good Ludum Dare submission,
Great entry! Voice acting & art are superb, read about those experiments recently, very interesting stuff! Didn't find the 3rd ending :( & a cross hair would have been handy!
This is awesome! Great take on the theme. It could be a bit more dramatic in the end and the mouse input wasn't clear enough. At first I ran around the room trying to sit down. However you can only sit down if you're behind the chair. That was a bit confusing. Maybe just add a point in the center of the screen with a mouse symbol when you can click something.
Wow. That guy was evil. I was disturbed, and I couldn't continue to push the red button. I was hooked the minute the experiment was explained though. A very neat idea and well executed.
BEST.GAME.EVAR! LOL! I truly loved this game, found the super secret ending as my first ending. Also got the other 2 and laughed the whole time I was play! The voice acting really draw you in. Well Done Sir! :D
I already knew about the experiment, so I was kind of expecting most of what I saw in the game (!!!), but still, I LOVE the entry: you've taken a deep, interesting topic, applied a very fitting mechanic and created a very solid entry, with awesome voice acting. Congratulations!
Found someone else who had a similar idea to me :) I really liked your game, and how it looks and sounds. The first time I played, I only had my left earphone in my ear, so I didn't get what was going on.
I replayed the game while writing this comment, because it bugged me, that I only found two endings... Guess whose Humor score just went up to 5 stars!!!! Really great game
I want to be polite as I can. Please, don't take it close to your heart. I know, sometimes truth can hurt. But to be honest, your game is fucking awesome.
Dude, you heared that a lot but this is awesome. So far my favourite.
It might not be the game with the most complicated code or the best 3D Models but that doesn't really matter, does it? You did a great job on the voice acting, it didn't get boring just listening to you and well, the secret ending blew my mind ... I was not expecting that.
Hey everybody, thank you for your comments and kind words - I placed this submission in my personal portfolio that was submitted to colleges as a body of work, and it's my strongest piece to date; as of today I've been accepted to my top choice game design program and I just wanted to thank people like the LD community for giving me the confidence and support I need to pursue my passion.

Story games like this one always impress me. I have no idea how people manage to find the time to write stories during the short time in the jam. I would definitely recommend that everyone tries to find all 3 endings, or else you won't really appreciate this. One suggestion would be to be able to skip some dialogue you've already listened to.
Someone in our stream posted this to play (and later owned up to it not being their game) but super glad we played. THe Secret ending was quite....Unexpected. Worth. Great entry, and the voice acting was spot on. Good story/mood/environment/etc.

I'm not a big fan of this kind of plots, but the game is not bad, good job. Also, nice mood.
Unfortunately, I found the secret ending first...
But great idea.

Found all three endings, great voice acting :D
very cool and interesting game, the voice acting was actually pretty good and funny enough to make me find all 3 endings. Nice simple idea/concept, but executed very well. A very good Ludum Dare submission,
Excellent job! :)
The whole test subject was amazing way of the two button controls :) i loved being in the electric chair ad jumping when the voltage hit me lol
Well Done!
That third ending got me so hard, well done! XD
That scared me~
lol
Averythings is seems very polished. Need more endings...

Thank you all.
I found the third ending too. List of things I didn't expect: that fucking thing.
Thank you all.
Thanks for this!
I thought the super secret ending is like Prisoner's Dilemma or something...
