A REALISTIC FIRST DATE EXPERIENCE IN THE BACKROOMS

Nice entry! The mood is so well done. It can get really terrifying! The controls are cool too, wasn't ready for this! It really adds to the immersion.

Well that was creepy... Very nice tho. Didnt know how i could answer "A or B (Choice)"-questions

Wow! Great psychedelic adventure! I'm not sure that my "no" was "no", but my "yes" was definitely "yes".
All 5 stars! Great job!

It's very atmospheric! A chic rendition of the theme with such appropriate controls. The game is immersive.

really unic visual and mood, nicely done!

Loved it all! Simple and moody. At the (I assume) bad ending however it kind of relieved the tension as my 'date' just slowly floated towards me. Otherwise very cool experience and I'd love to see a separate release for the music!

@bloodyedward thank you so much! Actually this song is from a whole EP already on spotify, if you want to give it a spin! https://open.spotify.com/album/2NJrSi5cD6oCpMzYtzmYX8?si=K81tIVWxTxqma-hFojRqqQ
For this game I used a slowed down and reverb version of "sakura dreamcast" !

Really liked the atmosphere here! The mood is on point, the music and visuals really compliment each other

Wow, I did not expect that! Great work on the mood and the visuals, this is original and *really* unsettling! I just found the music too loud and not suited to the mood in my opinion, but other than that, hats off!

Very atmospheric, my date was quite the interesting gentleman. I hope he calls.

Creepy in a lot of ways, but entertaining. This is why you always text your strongest friend with the most guns.

Holy shit, what a experience. Great job with all it!

Nice creepy vibes, the music fit it so well! The creepy mood is very well done!

Wow, creepy. If you were seeking to evoke an unsettling feeling you've done it successfully. The simplicity was a benefit to the game and let you really soak in the mood. Graphics and audio both added to the effect, too. Nice job!

You really nailed the mood. It was very creepy and unsettling. I liked the art and some of the visual effects you did with the space. I couldn't quite figure how to select choices. Great work!

Yikes, that was creepy! The music was a perfect fit, and so were the graphics. Well done!

Really good mood! Also the gameplay is simple yet impressing!

The LDJAM title "inevitable" somehow leaked the story though :laughing:

Well done!

Take a second thought, I may actually marry a computer girl :thinking:

Now i undestand why there is Mood category!

Well that was a trip! Really cool and I adore the controls of choice being made with you camera, I was just nodding along to questions even if they weren't actual choices, really immersive! Well done!

Well he sure seems like a "nice guy"

Aaah yes, typical dating app experience in 2022

It turned out very surreal! Great job!

Loved that atmosphere! It's strange, disorienting, psychedelics… It creates a great experience. Interacting with the mouse only is also pretty immersive, although it could be used a bit more. The ending is also a bit abrupt (especially on the web version where it freezes totally), and while it's something I can appreciate too, it lacks a little something to really feel like a conclusion. But those are my only small downsides. Otherwise I really enjoyed this creepy story!

Well, this was... so creepy! I loved the explanation, why I cannot talk and have to use the mouse only :smile: The ending could get a little more polished, played online version only (didn't know there was a difference) and I wasn't sure if the game ended, or if it just froze. :slight_smile:

played through to the end, you definitely made an interesting piece.

feedback for gameplay: have some kind of feedback for the player when the game detects either a YES or NO gesture. not knowing if i correctly gave the input, combined with the already psycho nature of the dialogue, made me unsure whether it was actually getting my YES or NO response. like, i thought i gave the "right" answer, but the AI just got mad at my anyways, so i wasn't sure if that's just the narrative, or if i didn't input correctly.

feedback for narrative: the ending made the journey feel pointless, like, i might as well have just not done anything, the outcome would have been the same. maybe that's what you're going for to try to be on theme (and let me just say, the theme sucks, very uninspiring), but it's definitely a negative player experience for me, to essentially get a bad end even when making it all the way through by (presumably) answering correctly each time.

A game with an eerie atmosphere where you cannot speak, you can only move your head.

Sounds like a nightmare, definitely fits the theme and concept. Really like the dialogue between you and the "Thing" :v
