Really interesting game. Simple but concise storytelling.

There was a few typos though, and I got this error at launch :

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Thank you so much for playing... what were the typos? I'm quite bad at English which was the reason I wanted to try something like this just to work on my storytelling... lack of sleep probably didn't help too. xD
I'll work on fixing those errors too.

Thanks again!

Though short, it was a good experience. The graphics style fits the theme quite well.

I actually really liked the story in this game. Short, but presented well, and with a good message

Nice even though it鈥檚 not really a game.
I notice someone else did the audio, then it should be in the jam.

What do you mean should be in the jam? o.o

The cube with the tie was an amazing Idea. A great take on the deep oppression of going to a really boring office job, and just wanting to quit.

Not sure this is a game your supposed to enjoy!? Tells an interesting story and perfectly captures the drudgery of work. Graphic and sound track are neat but personally think it would benefit from an upbeat tempo at the end. I like the exploration and the unobvious direction. Plays smooth, no bugs

This is amazingly atmospheric & the music is incredible. I really liked the introduction of colour too. The one criticism is that it's more of a story than a game... but one I really wanted to see through to the end!

Very nice story! It felt short but that's understandable because you only had 48 hours, but I love how you put so much detail in all the levels. I did a similar storytelling thing (with a very different interpretation though) and didn't get to put in nearly as much detail as I wish I had.

Cool game, good design flow and visual style! I liked where it was going but it ended too soon.

Good game (It look like every day the same dream) with very nice atmosphere (anxious), maybe a bit too short.

Full points for Mood and Graphics and Theme, this definitely brightened my day, very simple but expertly crafted. Good job.

Excellent game, and love the the minimalistic character who is so much like Pixel in my game.
