Conversational Pitfalls is a very simple game about having a conversation with your girlfriend and digging a hole deeper and deeper. How long can you last? To be fair, this was my first game in quite a while and I had a lot of rust to work off. So this may be more of an experience than a legitimate game. Enjoy!

Lol. Top notch voice acting :) Still struggling to find out which answer is the "right" one, but I guess it's just like in real life.

I lol'ed at the concept

@attala in my experience they don't exist.

The concept is fun. It lacks of polishing and it has too much randomness to be played consitently.

Unfortunately there isn't much gameplay but there is some absolutely stellar audio work so congrats!

I think there is potential in this concept to be a really interesting game, perhaps with a slightly less stereotypical gender dynamic. It comes off as a bit patronizing. That is to say I liked the concept, but the tone wasn't my cup of tea.

Other than that I think it was well executed. Great work on putting this together in 48h!

This was pretty funny I managed to get to -81 feet thats deeper than my school!

What a voice acting! I would pay for a game like that haha!
As other stated, it just lack a little bit more content and less random questions/answers :)

Good job!

Lol, what a great take on the theme. I was honestly more surprised whenever one of my answers didn't dig me deeper.

Hahaha! Love it! Sure, there's not really much gameplay, and too much randomness, but the idea is hilariously relatable! And the voices are great. And the scarf, of course, is magnificent.

Funny game and audio. Some pretty cringe answers haha. I was hoping for a "you win" screen at the end.

Definitely good for a good chuckle. The voice acting too lol. Pretty simple and random all around, but it was nice all the same. Well done!
