The game is fun albeit a bit simple. I would honestly play the hell out of a more complex iteration on this theme and gameplay!
People might be fooled by the austere interface of the game, but it's actually perfectly coherent with the game.
There's a connection between you and the people you scam. At least that's what I felt. I would love to play an enhanced version with more in-depth conversation, get attached to their personality. And then just scam them!
The summary at the end was a really nice touch. I felt even more connected to them. Like, my choice had consequences to this people.
Like you can imagine, I really liked you game. Consider me a fan. It reminded me of @oujevipo's game "Never Alone Hotline" (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=1874), but in a more dicky way.
You monster.
Nice game, though. Would recommend.
I really, really, liked your concept, and your execution was flawless. It really gave me that 1998 feeling, and the webpage (that's a lot of extra effort) really adds to it. I didn't really like punching in so many credit card numbers, which I felt was a bit unneccesary, but it's fine. The conversations were amusing and it really carried its sense of humor/a bit of darkness too.
Definitely the most creative game I've played so far and I'll be surprised if this doesn't get top 10.
I loved the game-over screen, where the repercussions of your actions are shown, I felt so bad for old Mrs Clark!
Solid game!
Though not really a complex gameplay the "levels" are very well written and designed!
Though this is pretty dirty haha XD
I came upon a screen where a "Seth" gave some credit info that was denied, then the game stopped, is it this way? :P
