This is an amazing game. Really funny, and unexpectedly great. I would do a bit more to immerse the player, maybe like a CRT filter? But really good game. Load times were annoyingly long, but I guess with self hosting that's to be expected.
If you have some time, I would love it if you could take a look at my game?

this was great and I loved how the plot unfolded and the various audio and text interjections that added some chaos, suspense and spookiness.

Quality game, 10/10, glad it let me do this
(Although I will have to deduct 1 point for the mispronunciation of the word "eh" :smirk: )

@random-storykeeper I think it's a fair tradeoff to lose a point in exchange for the all star strats you uncovered.

@atmospherium The AI's voice stopped working once the garbled text-to-speech tried to say the lyrics. :joy:

@random-storykeeper I guess that's not super surprising. It ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

WOW the voices and overall feel of this game are intense. Loved the ending as well. Super creative take on the theme and very well executed!!

Unique minimalist game with a cool twist. Good job!

We streamed your game with Danae: link to Twitch VOD (approximate timestamp)
That was fun. As I said on the stream, my biggest problem with this one is probably the fact that I actually cannot choose a different path. I played the "bad" ending to begin with, but then that was the only ending. :slight_frown: But at least I got to choose the joke!

2 words, Amazingly unexpected. Very nice concept, really enjoyed this!

Oh this was a fun text adventure! I love the unsettle feeling at the very beginning as the characters spell out help me. Really cool game.

Damn this was stressing, good job! Completely freaked me out.

Such a perfect concept and good realization. I really wish there were more options and ways to play around with the terminal, even if the ending was the same. As it is, you just get railroaded down the path instead of feeling like you took yourself there. The punchline is still so good though.

Very good game ! Short and with a good twist. The "don't" input not working made me nervously laugh.

Loved the text-to-speech. I'm playing on a German computer, so the text-to-voice was blessed by a very German accent. Unintentionally bumped up the humor a little :P

@blay09 Yeah, I'm a huge fan of everything being subject to the user's configuration. It's made watching streams of the game a lot more enjoyable. During development I tried randomly selecting some of the voices, but found that there's a borderline offensive Mexican accent that my computer would land on from time to time. It was hilarious but really jarring, so I ended up deciding to aim for things closer to the user default settings.

An interesting and eery take on the theme, this game was fun and felt like you had choices you could make and wasn't linear. I liked the subliminal messages hidden within. Good work! Thanks for playing this on stream with us last night (MLC) :D

Loved the twist at the end! Wish it was beatable in some way (it's not, right?) but still an interesting experience!

This was an excellent submission, it was awesome getting to see it come together! I think the thing that helped was it was several things at once: Funny, Creepy, and asking questions of the user, which broke up the experience.





This is great, really! I'm really impressed by your entry and I'm pretty sure my humor and knock knock jokes are going to be better form now on.
The only thing I can think of is to allow pressing up to edit your last text, in case of a typo.
Loved the entry, I'm not sure it ended, so if it's not the mirrored part ignore this, but would be cool to make it clear that it ended, maybe a shutting down screen.
Hope that helps, I loved it!
