Their effect seems to be random. I made it to situation 16.The sound design and the graphics are quite good ! Really reinforces the sifi vibe. Also all those references peppered throughout the game are great ! I found the soy milk one and the \"the sun is a deadly lazer\" one quite funny even if only a really niche audience will get it. Finally, I really hate to be that guy, but judging by the fact that you have an azerty keyboard, english is probably not your native language and I just wanted to let you know that \"intire\" is spelled entire.

How could it be? It is completely arbitrary!\n\nPlayed three times, got to situation 15 three times. Only saw one repeated question. That is quite a few events there; a solid amount of content.\n\nLike said the irrationality of the questions is both the blessing and the curse of this project. Absurdity is funny, but it completely undermines the interactive side.

It's HunGARE. I happened to comment on a game you commented on as well, and decided to play your game. I got to situation 16!\n\nThings I liked:\n\nThe Art: The sprites, the chair, and especially the background are all very good looking. I am very impressed with all of the art, because it draws me in and keeps me interested.\n\nThe Sound\/Music: I thought the background music was good, and the sound effects were cute. They were very crisp as well.\n\nThe Humor: I don't think I even need to explain. You are definitely placing high for humor!\n\nThings I didn't like:\n\nA bit confusing: Now I am not a text based\/choice game veteren, but I found some choices to be confusing. I like the idea, but I didn't always like how the situations were twisted. I mean they were funny like the asteroid making a swimming pool, but it felt more random than anything. I'm not sure exactly how to change this because if you tell the player before hand what their choices will affect then it will be too easy. I just think you should have made the situation outcomes a little more realistic and predictable (not all but some).\n\nOverall I think you did a great job. I think you'll place pretty high!\n\n\nPS: Lol, you throw the exception, but it hits a deer in the head.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"novotmike","author_uid":"1001173","time":"2017-08-05T08:50:46Z","epoch":1501923046,"modified":1501923046,"text":"This game is very simple in concept but I really like it.

I felt like I had little feedback or idea of what options were going to do what, as opposed to similar games where one option sounds rather military-oriented and another political, where it's (somewhat) more clear about the outcome.
