You Live Like This? by LurkinMcClerkin
In “You Live Like This?” you take the role of an overworked, underappreciated, healthcare intern. Your job is simple: prove yourself to your overlords at YLLT Enterprises by caring for the poor Mr. X. Bring him toys to keep him entertained, water to keep him hydrated, and delicious buckets of Goremel(TM) brand chili to keep his belly full. You’ll also need to keep the furnace stoked to ward off the chill of the ~~dungeon-~~ hospital room. Also, the YLLT company computer provided to you to help monitor your patient has seen better days. Difficulties aside, we’re sure you can prove your mettle to the powers that be and sustain your patient… at least for a little while.

The only thing I can pick oout wrong with this is giving the man the food seemed a bit difficult to do without any sort of explanation. Eventually I figured out that I had to bring the bucket over and fill it up but I didn't even know what the bucket was for originally. Perhaps a short explanation just for that bit would make this better.
There's definitely an element of humour here. I loved the "turn it off and on again" moment :smile:
i enjoyed the game)
Didn't realize I had to reboot on a blue screen but then thought "duh" lol :)
Good job guys!
I like the graphics a lot and the fact that the universe your game sits in is tangible (as in, I see a story behind the gameplay), with the voices and the overall mood.
I didn't enjoyed it to the max though because of what I think is not enough time to balance the gameplay. For example I think that computer fixing is too long ; the idea is great but only pressing to reboot then be able to go on with other tasks but without the monitor to help you for a short time would be incapacitating enough, preventing the player to move at all is too much I think.
Balancing a timed game is very timeconsuming and not the easiest of tasks, I'm just telling you what I think could be improved but I still think your game is great.
Oh ! And I laughed when I received the bill x)
I didn't actually know if there is an ending, or just try to make him survive the longer possible? if the latter, perhaps a counter of time should be added, so you can know how much you managed to make him live.
I noted some problem with layer sorting, you can be "in front" of the logs, but the logs are rendered above for example.
Overall, nice job!
I really liked the voice acting, good smooth animation. Nice
Nice Job!
I had just one issue and that was that I didn't see I have the bucket when I took something else.
Very cool entry :-) good luck.
The game itself gets stale rather fast, there's not much to do and there's no scoring or anything.
The voice acting is a nice touch, especially with the filter.
If you want to know the timestamp of when your game was played you can see it in this spreadsheet:

And then look in my latest videos and find your game being play (after the current stream ends)

The voice overs were a nice touch, but sounded like they were recorded from a really bad mic. I guess this was a design choice to imitate an intercom feeling, but it didn't really work for me. I'm no sound designer, so I have no idea how this could be pulled off better.
All in all, nice little tamagotchi/survival simulator (with all it's boons or banes) with some issues regarding the end game. Keep it up!
