Here is my participation !

As a worker in a big enterprise, you must submit a big report... But you are so tired...

to play, you will just need your keyboard. If it doesn't work, click on the game, to make sure the events are captured by the game (and make sure that the intro cutscene is finished)

it's a bit of test in interactive narration, we'll see how this goes ^^

Heyy great entry! The presentation looks amazing and the game works pretty well. I wonder if the written words before the end mean something with the narrative

You played a game of me playing the game of ludum dare! lol I loved the effect of the words blurring, and the closing eye was also very cool.

And oh, I got the reference ok? Here is my answer!

Fun spin on the typing game genre. The effects and the mood is really well executed. Love the blurry closing eye effect. Well done :)

Great job with this! I like how the storytelling has been combined. Plus, seeing what I've typed in the background made me realise how bad at typing I am!

Nice game. I loved "type them down" years ago and this makes me remember how i love hacking words into my keyboard.
If this would have some "mechanical keyboard" clicking sounds and some elevator music in the background which would fade out as your eyes get heavier i think it would elevate the game even more. Thanks for making this.

A really great entry! probably would have been better with some Audio and SFXs, but otherwise this is an awesome game with an engaging, well accomplished mechanic!

Quite interesting. Didn't fully understand the mechanic of "space" to wake up, basically you can do it all the time right? So there is no punishment there. The words on the forth stage (the one that the words are not fully reveled) felt very repeated. Other than that I liked the game. :thumbsup:

That was a really neat experience. Great job! The effects on later stages were super cool and a bit mind bending to try to type through. I did end up with one weird situation where I accidentally started a word that was hidden under another word and then had to guess the next letters through trial and error so it would have been good to have some sort of backspace functionality. But that was a really minor issue in an overall awesome game :)

Not sure it worked as intended for me, seemed like there was some lag? HOWEVER, what I did play was really interesting and nicely done. The art looks great and fit perfectly. Nice!

That was a super interesting entry - I've never really seen one like that before! I did run into the same challenge as PerfectSquare above, though I was usually able to guess. At first I had assumed I had a limited number of wake-ups with space, but I totally get what you were going for by not doing so. This could be a really fun concept to expand on too. Thanks for an interesting entry!

I just finish playing a typing entry and here is another one lol. The gaming expeirnece really reminds of all those sleepy working days and I was counting on red bulls like everyday, and then I started to have some body issues. Wish you to be healthy, somehow. and Nice job!

I like the idea. Works really well with the theme and as of right now this is the first typing game ive played this jam so great job!
Rainsong9 Apr 2022, 19:18
Hahahaha! I _so_ felt this one, after slogging through a recent typing assignment!

This game feels so real XD. I liked the take on the theme.

I would have liked to have a score based on how good I was writing the report. Maybe more mechanics can be added to have more variety.

Wow! One of the most innovative and humorous takes on theme I've seen yet. I think the graphics and overall presentation is just phenomenal! And although usually I would point out the lack of any sound as being detrimental to the game, for some reason here it actually feels really fitting so I'll let it be :sweat_smile:

Overall, good job! I had a lot of fun playing the game.

As last comment points out, I miss sound in the game too. Nevertheless I enjoyed playing this real office simulator. Good job!

A polished and unique game! It weirdly felt *really* good when I pressed spacebar after the screen had been blurry for a long time. Good job!

Really cool and fun game! I love the ending. It captures the mood of late night work really well haha. Thank you for this one! As someone mentioned, a score would be a nice patch if you're going to add anything. I love the humour and that each stage had a different kind of challenge.
