Cool idea for a game.

Looks really interesting! However, I can't seem to get the "Welcome click here to read more" button to move and can't read the text because of this! Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

This game seems like a really cool idea and I like the UI design, layout, and approach to text conversations. Unfortunately, the welcome pop up wouldn't go away for me and covered much of the screen making it difficult to play and read.

Couldn't play due to the pop-up, which is unfortunate because it seems like a neat looking idea.

It's a nice game, the ambiance is great and immersive, visuals are on point, the whole flow & timing of conversations is perfect! Well done!
However I'm not sure if I'm missing a puzzle or if I reached the end of the game but I'm stuck at the "no escape" point... Besides that it was really nice playing it!

Really cool concept! There are still some bugs like texts not being shown properly sometimes and maybe i haven't seen the hint or so, it is hard to geht started at the beginning I just typed 123456789 and it seemed to work but that was more luck than actually knowing what is going on.
I like the music and the sound effects they fit the game really well!
A great Game👍

This is PRECISELY my type of game. But I'm really stuck on trying to solve Kym's number puzzle. I'm either missing something really obvious or my game isn't working? But probably the former. I love the concept though.

Woah! Cool idea. Great atmosphere, and good puzzles. Are there multiple endings? I made it to an ending that made it sound like I lost (we will remain together). Either way, I enjoyed getting deeper and deeper into the mystery!

This is quite my type of game, so I was glad to play it!

The puzzles were interesting, not to hard but not to easy, they required a bit of research and of thinking so that's great!
The UI looks so clean, it's beautiful!
The story and dialogs are good, and the "there is no escape" sent chills down my spine, although the ending seemed a little bit abrupt

However there were some problems with the welcome textbox which didn't want to disappear at the beginning of the game, I did manage to find a workaround by just zooming out, but it's a bit annoying

Overall, great job!

TY all for your feedback and comments. I'm trying to find why on some screens is happening this UI bug and why is not on others. Soon a new version will fix this.

Hello, this is an interesting game you some hard puzzles ;) ! I had a problem with som buttons. Sometimes I click to send a message and then it take me to the notifications :/ I think that there is a problem with the box of the send button. But it's a very good entry overall :)

Game should be playable now, sorry for the UI bug. Also some1 posted that 123456789 unlocked the contacts and now it won't :P.

@scratch I'm so sorry for hearing this because you were almost at the end. We could not really finish the chat alerts, at that point you have to go through all the chats to trigger the end message.

@kristinamay TY for your comment, I dont wanna give any hints here but I can try to explain it in other words; between 1 and 100 how many times the number/figure 8 appears?

I'm really enjoying this! Sadly, I am stuck on Jerry's puzzle (the one that looks like GPS coordinates). Can I have a little hint?

I love this kind of game, it's a lot of fun! The execution is very well done as well, everything is well thought and well written. I was hooked until the end, congrats :v:

Really great game ! The puzzles and dialogues are pretty cool and interesting to follow, the UI is really intuitive and pleasant to the eye, and I quite liked the storytelling. However (without spoiling), is the "no escape" part truly the end of the game, or are there other events afterwards ?
Anyways, congratulations for this nice game, I really enjoyed playing through it !

I was also wondering if it was the end but most importantly, if it was the only possible ending or if you could take other routes leading to other endings.

@smoldersan I am afraid not, there is only one route due to the time constraints and that is our first time writing something.

Brilliant idea, flawless execution! :v:

I love puzzles, so I enjoyed it all the way through.
The UI is clean, immersive and beautiful, the texts are well-written, the music helps to set the tone perfectly.

There's really nothing much to say. I love giving constructive feedback and things to improve on but for this game, I can't really think of anything particularly bad.

All I can say is that this one of the most creative entries I've seen so far, so good job and thank you for the experience! :smile:

This was amazing, really did not expect that! :astonished: The puzzles were amazing, I've had a lot of fun! My only feedback I can get is when I spammed Jerry with "unbelievable"s I didn't see his latest messages in time :smile: You did amazing job :heart:

Nice idea and implementation, a bit linear for my taste, but the storytelling and the final plot twist is awesome.

Good job.

You did it! You gave me a new experience in the narrative game! The writing, the gameplay itself, the music... Everything works well together. It can benefit from some polishing, like for example while I didn't send the answer to the bad guy, I still had dialogue options about it. But overall it's a great little experience with an interesting ending. Also, I like the fact that you should google for the clues to the answer. Great job!
