Alone in a Window : A 9 Hour Hack by sagzorz
Instructions are provided in-game.
Please pay attention to the command prompt.
I apologize for the lack of polish: this was mostly made in the last 9 hours of the jam, with new tools and a crazy idea.
Had fun doing it though and I hope you enjoy it!
The game was made using Python and Pyglet.
I also used one file, a camera class, from: http://tartley.com/files/stretching_pyglets_wings/
If you have any question or issues, please feel free to contact me on Twitter @sagzorz
Thanks,
Sagar
Edit: Thanks Brendan for noticing the crash! I tried it on my laptop today, at it seem to be caused by the use of an integrated graphics card (commonly in laptops)
I've changed a few lines in the code, and this should get rid of the crash bug.
You can view the changes, as well the entire code at:

Please let me know if you encounter crashes.
If you experience bad performance, I apologize, I did things with the framework that are probably not meant to be done , + it was hacked up in about 9 hours + first time with framework.
Edit 2: It seems someone else also experience a crash, so I've reduced a parameter, hopefully it will be easier to run on slower systems.
If you experiences crashes or strange behaviors, please post your specs, it will help me a lot in fixing the issues.

Edit 3: More bug fixes. Man I must have been brain dead when I submitted the game...

It is a bit, crash-y.
Also, please make sure to read the command prompt and be aware of the the separate window that gets spawned after the intro.

Great, unique game idea, I don't think I've seen the lens of truth concept applied to the operating system GUI directly.
On a minor note when I first launched the game I answered "ten" and received a crash. You might want to check for non-numeric input
I had some trouble understanding this game, thought. As it turns out, I had the wrong width and height and then it couldn't show any of the "friends". However, with the correct resolution, even if I enter more than two friends, I only see two of them. The game tell me that I found them all if I move the two I can see around some more.
