found a few glitches like the "I shouldn't disturb dad when he's watching his shows" when he's not there ;D the graphics were pretty well done but it would fit a lot nicer if the characters are the same resolution. Great entry and concept ;D

This game was eye-catching to me when looking through the games to vote menu... probably because of the 3D-effect of the room.

This game has a really neat idea, and it plays with your brain a bit. The story at the time really added to the mood of the game and how interesting it turned out in the end.

For the cons... the game got a bit repetitive after a while, and it's not very interesting if you don't read the game description on this page (as I found out when I first played it- sorry!).

However, there are a lot of positives- there's a lot of nice attention to detail, like the working clock on the wall! Also, I liked the fact that it was written in java since it means I can poke around and mod it as I understand the language.

Overall, a really interesting game that has obviously had a lot of effort put into it- well done! :D

Was not expecting something like this. Light on gameplay, but the story was the goal. The music and pacing definitely set the tone very well.
