I actually like games like this quite a bit, so it was a pleasant surprise going in blind. I think that you did a great job. The game ran well on my system. I didn't run into bugs.\n\nMy only real suggestions would be to make the movement speed slightly faster and possibly add some type of intercom where someone can speak to the player to explain what is going on. But I understand the time limitations tend to cut things out, so with that in mind. Great job!\n\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"lizelive","author_uid":"1152623","time":"2019-10-07T08:08:58Z","epoch":1570435738,"modified":1570435738,"text":"you can exclude certain things for grading.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Human Writes Code","author_uid":"1074510","time":"2019-10-07T11:25:42Z","epoch":1570447542,"modified":1570447542,"text":"Okay.

If I had more time I would've implemented an extra few steps before the end and added some more polish.

Very eerie and disconcerting. I found the little glass ornament in one of the cubicles. Apparently it wasn't useful, but I had to check every cubicle.
