Amazing, at first I thought it was just an introspective game. It was funny reading some of the... other... stories after.
It was very enjoyable playing this even though it's not about action. Great work!

Hey yo. You took some time to play my game, I shall do the same to yours!

I love the art, even if there is just an almost still image, it suits the overall feeling that the game gives.

The music is eerie and sad and goes super well with the art.

One improvement you could do is to try to filter some "noise text" that the player inputs. When he asked my name I tried to naturally talking to him saying "My name is igor", and he kept calling me "my name is igor" until the end. Filtering could also help avoid players who input just "." as answers (this happened to me, so the story was really vague).

Overall it's a nice game and every aspect of it fits really well together.

Well done!!

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description. (you can already find several games from the jam there)

Awesome!

I agree with the previous comment, about filters. Not where I was expecting it to go, but was pleasantly surprised at the end! Just enough animation and variation to keep me interested. Reminded me of the cut scenes in the Trauma Center: Under the Knife- in a good way! Great job!

Really like this system, and it is interesting to see what other people put as answers. There may need to be some system of fitting answers in to sentences better as they don't always work.

It's a unique idea with a good amount of polish! We expected our answers to show up later in the game, but the twist was pleasantly surprising. If someone got "writing 2-word Ludum Dare comments" as the worst behavior, please get in touch ;-)

We would have like the possibility to skip the dialog animations. Pacing was a bit slow. We were sad that only 7% of the players found peace most important :'-( For color blind players, one of the challenge was rather hard ;)

Neat game! Sadly, playing Moirai kind of spoiled the twist for me, but it was still entertaining and different enough to be interesting! The artwork was great, and no server hitches to boot! it makes you think too! A job well done.

Have to love that our greatest invention were HDTVs!

Really fantastic game here! i loved the twist at the end. It reminded me a lot of this game on steam called Moirai. The art was also highly polished. Overall, a unique and memorable experience!

Good concept!

I was worried that the things I type have no effect at all (expected choices instead of typing), but that's not true as we see it has some effect at the end!

Good job!

Risky concept since the quality of the story depends on a random player (mine wasn't really creative ^^)

Tried the "tell another story" thing but i got exactly the same :(

Ambiance and art are really cool, good job ;)

Excellent art and I really liked the sound effects and glitching of the robot. The pacing was a bit slow however.

The game's very nice, and though it doesn't fit the mood much I did get a giggle from reading about how the human race collapsed from nerd glasses and a shitty taste in music. The puzzles/button clicking were well-designed, gave structure to the game, and added to the desperation and atmosphere.

A slight bug to note on the linux build: The game would read my mouse position on the absolute width/height of my monitor, rather than where it was rendering (which was some 30px offset down from my actual resolution for some reason) which made clicking on things a bit difficult, though highlighting the menu options did resolve most of the actual issues there. Setting any resolution other than my monitor's resolution made the game unplayable.

Nice! I had sometimes problems with the input, looks like the focus was lost or just stuck. Have to try it on another machine later.

You've made a good serious game trying to convey something not only entertaining people.

If the Ludum Dare was not for score with stars, would give 5 at all. I am Brazilian and, today, whe live a big social instability and policy. Politics and digital marketing have managed to divide our country and today we fight ideologically. Our country is beautiful, with people who always smiled. Your game speaks a lot about it. Congratulations! Congratulations! for the game! I would improve the typography and the light for ambience.
Strong hug!
Please, play my game: http://goo.gl/DY8rKG
