Unfortunately I'll have to agree with @roy-berado as well in that I can't say I had fun with the game because I literally didn't know what to do after activating it. I know I'm supposed to do something with this text file that appears but I couldn't think of anything. I know this is a puzzle game and maybe I'm just an idiot but I didn't know what to do with the text file or how to get to the passcode. I clicked on Dr. Helper but he wasn't much help. :( I feel like in this situation, some clearer and/or more hints would help? Or just any sort of direction would really be appreciated.
All in all, I can't give it an overall good rating because I couldn't play much of the game but from what I have played, it was very well made! An interesting take on the theme for sure I think!
With love, Dev Team)
That being said, I downloaded the new version and I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU SCOUNDRELS
Y O U F O U L B E A S T S.
I really love the game, changed the rating! :D
Great game overall, very polished. The meme humor is at the same time very cringy and very funny. And I definitely didn't expect the game to transform into a manic shooter out of the blue.
The end is a bit underwhelming, kind of like the computer version of "it was all a dream" but the experience was worth it nonetheless! Good job!
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)
This fit good with the team and I like the music :)
Graphics are minimalistic but they do the trick !
I Lost my fingers ahah
Great job !
Not enough games do voices in their game! Did you record them yourself and if so how'd you get the effect on them? Either way, nicely done!
found the narrative and the voice overs quite funny.
well polished, awesome experience :D
Maybe for the puzzle part it would've been nice if you got some more visual feedback for clicking stuff (by that, I don't mean screenshake).
The feedback I have is that the first password is discoverable in uppercase, but it only works when entered in lowercase. I don't know if this is intentional, but it caught me out. As for the boss fight, I feel like the files are perhaps a bit close together (but as I've said, I'm terrible at it, so that could just be me) and I thought I'd be able to shoot them as well as the boss, at first. I also found the flashing background made it very hard to focus on the items, but I imagine this was very intentional.
Great game, anyway, even if it gave me virus flashbacks! :stuck_out_tongue:
I loved the visuals on this. The slight CRT curvature with the scan lines was great, and the screen corruption when getting hit on the boss was a great add in. No real critiques to give on this one, i really enjoyed it.
Here is a the video of the play through from the stream:
