This is the first one I've given 5 stars all across. Such a pleasant surprise! I didn't get very far though: I got the report, and logged in using the ID, but i couldn't figure out where to put the password that was in the chat log - I tried logging in with the same ID but that didn't work. I'm really intrigued with the story, and the writing is quite good, and the graphics and the sounds are perfect. Well done!

An well thought out and interesting game.

The graphics really reminded me of Pokemon.

Good job.

I got through it without using the walkthrough... mostly. I kept trying to access a nonexistent "firefight" program instead of the diary, at that part in the story.

I think the music was computer generated... It's effective but a little bit impersonal.

The completeness of the story and execution is really nice. The "sidekick" cliche is used to great effect as well. Good stuff.

I really liked it. A bit lengthy in text but I love escape games so it was super fun. I did get stuck on Mobert's computer though because I entered "Mobert" and "lovebartha" but it didn't work :(

I'm amazed how much story you managed to fit in such a small timeframe. Amazing job there, wish you a high place in the final classification!

@Seraphic Media: it's "Morbert" with an r between the o and the b.

We have been playing a bunch of games and this the first one we have come across that has a gripping story line along with a nice Pokemon like pixel art style and fitting music as well.

Awesome game, good story! Too bad somewhere in the game I got into HazelPixel menu, and the game froze on me or something. :(

Wow, amazing amount of content for a Ludum Dare. I got stuck at one point though and even with the walkthrough I wasn't able to get unstuck, so might have been an unfortunate bug :(

Really amazing game, got me engaged from beginning to end, the story was very compelling and the execution was also great and very polished. I only don't understand in the end how did that character knew Pauline's name and acts so unsurprised when he saw her.

Well, following the walkthrough, I came up to where I had to enter E3 as camera, and 95Y, but that did not work, and this game does not seem to have save so I'd come back another time, so I'm done there, but it did have me playing for a while.

Hi there. Like the interactive story mode. Clever drawing in of player using the mobile phone/friend conceit. Liked the graphics and sound, the detail. However couldn't find enough to solve myself. Bookmarked for a relook later. Good job!

Nice game - reminds me of Pokemon. I got hooked once I started exploring. Jumping between keyboard and mouse was a bit annoying though.

An interesting idea for a story but I wasn't able to get very far without a guide!
