This is a small cozy game about unstable emotions and things that surround us.
It was designed to be played with sound turned on, moreover sound makes the gameplay whole.

Please turn it on ❤

_[Game also may be used as emotional intellect trainer]_

I feel Greg didn't react at all to what I said? It was like I pressed a button and it said something completely irrelevant. One button I pressed was to turn him off, but that didn't do anything. Besides that the mood is really nice, and I found it a very cozy experience

@mikeklubnika there is a scoring system beneath. So he does not react to what you say directly, but you can influence on his mood and emotional state

I really liked this! Cool theme, lovely graphics, overall very strong mood.

As for some constructive feedback, I think for this to really be some sort of emotional intellect game/check, I'd prefer the "bad answer" options to be a bit more subtle? Most of the time it was a choice between "Aw I believe in you" and "You suck" and that felt a little too unrealistic? Although I still appreciate what the game had to say :)

Also I lived the idea of the music loop changing! But I felt like the changes were much more prominent when I tried negative options, while I didn't notice much of a change during an entirely positive run? Still amazing idea though and I'm very impressed with implementation.

@david-broz sheesh, Greg is... Next time we need to check characters past before making games about them =)

Does your choice actually matter? It seems it doesn't.

Who knew I'm so good at cheering up lamps. I quite enjoyed having this chat. A bit hard to read jittering text, though. Think, the game especialy works for me after browsing through a bunch of high paced action games. Also the fact that the game filled my whole screen added an extra bit of an atmosphere. Отличная работа!

@baturinsky yeah, any chouice can cheer up the lamp or make him more mentaly unstable. The level of stability is indicated by light and music. And there are three endings.

You probably expect that one question will lead to another, like a scenario =) No, there is none of that.

A very refreshing game covering psychological problems! It felt incredibly relevant. Once in a while we all feel like Greg. Hopefully there are some good "players" around when we do.

The atmosphere you created was really good. I wish that Greg responded to what I was saying though, when I tried to cheer them up Greg just seemed to get more sad. Although everything got fixed with a hug :)

Greg is so relatable! Great job making a likeable character out of a simple lamp :) I'm glad I could make him feel better. Very creative idea, and nicely executed!
