Well thanks, I think my game is pretty bad but at least 1 person got something out of it so I'll consider it a success. :D

Pithy!

I haven't been insulted by a phantom text-based narrator like that since SCUMM. And your choice of font only helped.

You get five stars for humor, mood, and audio from me. The rest of the categories...not so much.

That soundtrack was pretty amazing.

Haha, very funny. I actually thought it was smart and witty, although I didn't get much "play" out of it. But it's very smart!

First game I genuinely laughed out loud a few times from.

This game is not bad, it's rather brilliant.

I think you kinda missed an opportunity here. If you abandon the notion that this is a bad game, completely embrace it for what it is, stick to the concept of the computer talking to you in the beginning, trying to bring all kinds of stuff to the experience such as imagination, music, etc. but without turning into a funny rant, this could go places. I'm 100% serious, I really had something click in my head when the music started. This could be a very cool commentary on games as a medium, and especially spectacle-oriented mainstream gaming.

If you don't make a post-compo version, you're sincerely wasting a very cool idea, and I might just steal it at some point.

Good job! Was fun, even if I'm not so into imagining things myself, I want to see other people dreams!

I liked this. The irritating text bleep took me out of the immersion a lot more than it ought to have!

Cool idea. I was hoping for more of a game in the minimap though. The idea is great, and although it's entertaining as the semi-interactive gimmick it would be better with actual gameplay.

As far as post modernist immersible interactive games go, this entry was a solid contender in the categories oH谈獭酞摊通蛫探虆叹處葐檀虩虩蜋虨桐蛯蜐Error 105: Comment权态泰叹蜎酮虉虂虁虂蜆 潭抬台瘫坦汰摊艇叹同CorruptC谭虣滩虧蜄铜虖庭彤蜔O彤蛷坍酞虧蛵M滩號蛫虙酮桐同虤虤蜏C谭虣滩虧蜄铜虖庭彤蜔S台胎太蛶汰童炭虜虁蛥Please listen to this soothing music while H谈獭酞摊通蛫探虆叹處权态泰叹蜎酮虉虂虁虂蜆 潭抬台瘫坦汰摊艇叹同

I'm glad my computer was good enough to run this. the graphics are amazing. I hear a lot of people had trouble finding a machine that could handle it. It's worth it though, the game is even better than the sound track.

And they said a game to rival Skyrim couldn't be made in 48 hours. Very clever.
