A Day With Bob

titre-murs.png

Sometimes you're going to die, sometimes you'll survive. But mostly you'll die.

Try to keep Bob alive during his day full of unexpected adventures. Every choice could be important and every choice could be deadly, you'll never know what could possibly kill Bob, so keep this in mind. If you manage well, you'll go through this day and live happily ever after but we are not making it easy for you.

Tech

  • Don't hesitate to tell us if you have any issues so we can try to fix everything asap.
  • Problems with Safari should be fixed.
  • The game is made for desktop, we haven't been able to see if it's working on touch pads.
  • The saving of the progression isn't fix for now so if you die, you have to start all over again.
  • The translation might be a bit weird since English isn't our mother language, if you notice a nonsense please send us a message (with the whole sentence) so we can fix it asap.

Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

Make sure you rate games so more people can find this one as well! You'll need about 20 ratings for a final rank. I really like the humour of this one! I tried a whole load of different ways to die and they kept me smiling. I do wish there was a way to undo or checkpoints because if you make a lot of progress it's annoying to have to replay the whole thing to get back to where you were, and then choosing another option usually immediately kills you! But I liked the weird abstract look and had a good time with this one. Good job!

Hi, good entry! Audio is fine, pictures simply but keep the atmosphere of the game! Try to rate more other games to find players for your game. It would be pity to leave it not noticed!

This was absolutely amazing. The art was simple but it was still done well. The gameplay was definitely great and the choices were hilarious. Spent a good amount of time playing through each option.

A dark sense of humour makes a fun choose your own adventure game. Hope you get that save function done, was the only thing stopping me from not going through every possible choice!

The consistent style makes this game feel nice and complete. Coupled with the dark humor this was a very enjoyable experience. Nice work!

The concept was quite fun, I liked the art style in black and white !
The music background fits well the general ambiance of the game !

However, I found that it was a bit frustrating to restart all of over when we die, indeed, I think that it would have been nice to have an "easy" mode, where you restart on the choice just before dying.

Overall nice work !

I love how you managed to make a choice-driven game in such a short time! The artwork and writing is very well done, and I like the humor you used! Great job! :slight_smile:

@edalbung @madalaski @literal-games the "easy mode" with regular checkpoints is done! it should made the game less frustrating when you go far in the story. thanks for your advices!

@sypdev @disperse @bitpokit @trifectuh @tanapat @kate90 @kromeboy @kanda @deadboygames @hej-medister @savvu thanks all for trying our game and taking the time to comment!

Cool game. Death can be a bit unfair and sudden sometimes, but I guess that's the idea.

I like the creepy ambiance in the background. Gave me chills!

Cheers!

All I can say is... POOR BOB. I liked the sound effects and graphics. It really creates a mood of despair, which oddly works in a game. NIce work!
