Even with the 1=10 debug setting, I can't sit back and enjoy the dialogue like I'd like unfortunately.\n\nI also noticed some dialogues don't lead anywhere, like the \"Pretend you have honey\" option.\n\nThe art is charming and the music fits, the dialogue is fun too.

As you said yourself, the countdown doesn't let you enjoy the game, but you still need to get shot by your doppleganger somehow...

The searching for books feature was great, as it avoids the problem a lot of point and click games have of randomly trying everything for an answer. It was a good idea to extend the time for each loop, as ten seconds really is quite short even if you can do a bit in each loop. I would like to see the idea revisited in some way as looping games are fun to play!\n\nA bit more feedback would help to denote changes in the game state. The dog playing with the toy, the coffee appearing somewhere, the books being highlighted in some way. Some audio control would be nice too.\nOverall good work, the humor is great!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":883725,"author_name":"LDJam user 267116","author_uid":"267116","epoch":1665395289,"text":"Funny idea, I think the theme could have been more effective if the time limit were in the context of the flow of the game rather than realtime.
