The characters really feel like they have their own personalities and it's very immersive. Great job!"},{"author_name":"31eee384","author_uid":"1712","time":"Jun 28, 2011 @ 5:02am","epoch":1309237020,"text":"@Jigxor: Sorry to hear that, it's not meant to be that hard. Just a little tip that might help: when car0t leaves, some conversation areas are unavailable. You can get a < 100% completion win simply by going through the main topics left-to-right with two passes, although to get the full 100% you'll have to play with your ordering.\r\rBetter luck next time, if you choose to try it again. :)"},{"author_name":"Breakdance McFunkypants","author_uid":"2297","time":"Jun 28, 2011 @ 5:18pm","epoch":1309281180,"text":"Infreakingcredible. I love the typing sound effects. I love the look. I love the plot. The writing is excellent. I love that you don't actually have to type - clicking made it more fun. Such a well crafted character drama, with different personalities, some intrigue, betrayal... kitten smuggling... this game has everything. Top notch.\r\rI lost - 93% after about 12 minutes."},{"author_name":"rhockman","author_uid":"4724","time":"Jun 28, 2011 @ 5:35pm","epoch":1309282200,"text":"I like everything about this game.\rI ended sending to kill car0t, supously a bad ending... but it didn't feel so bad :)"},{"author_name":"31eee384","author_uid":"1712","time":"Jun 28, 2011 @ 9:48pm","epoch":1309297380,"text":"One of my additions to the game would be to label the good vs. bad endings, heh. The car0t kill order is supposed to be the good ending, but it's not really "good". An ironic "congratulations, you won" could be chuckle-worthy, perhaps.\r\rIt's interesting, though... calling them "good" and "bad" endings kind of doesn't fit. They're more like "complete" vs. "incomplete" endings, regarding your investigation.\r\rGlad to hear that it's being enjoyed! It was fun to make. :D"},{"author_name":"Winterblood","author_uid":"4051","time":"Jun 28, 2011 @ 9:55pm","epoch":1309297800,"text":"Nicely presented and great atmosphere!"},{"author_name":"31eee384","author_uid":"1712","time":"Jun 29, 2011 @ 3:02am","epoch":1309316220,"text":"I know I'm commenting quite a few times on my own game, but I think I should mention something.

In contrast, I made basically a formal, interactive story setting; here, we have dialogue, chat, etc.\r\rI got 93% the first time (100% the second time), took about 5-10 minutes.

I could definitely see this working for lots of different stories. The only problem is...I wasn't too impressed with THIS story.
