Having some issues with the embedded version. The description does sound promising!

Sorry to hear - yeah, I really had to rush, I think I exported my builds around 2:52PM (with the jam ending at 3PM for me). I tried it on my phone... didn't quite work. Seems functional in Firefox at least, I didn't have time to test web builds.

I think I might be too dumb for this game, but I love the atmosphere and idea. As far as I understand the only controls are clicking with the mouse, yes? I got stuck, after the song I tried doing what it said, doing the opposite of what it said, collecting cookies and beer, but couldn't get any further.

Loved the atmosphere in this one, and the intro is top notch. Good work!

I struggled a bit with the puzzle mechanics in this, but I love the atmosphere and music! The intro was so good too - the caliber of the song and concept was super polished. Well done!

@thegamearchitect Thank you, I hope you get a chance to try the downloadable version.
@wrex haha, no sweat, thanks for playing. I can't tell if you're making a joke but it makes me laugh
@t-c Thank you dear, I am super interested in your game too and hope to check it out soon.
@vivifx Thank you so much, my heart is warmed by this comment.
@alb3rt-w Thank you for your comment, I hope to try your game again soon. Blessings.

I am absolutely fascinated by this and have been playing it for quite a while, though I'm stuck like @wrex and I'm not making a joke. Unless, I mean, being stuck is what I should be, in my new life on Pluto, and there's no escape. But I want to escape. Should I?

@demigiant Thank you for your interest, I am very intrigued by your submission too and will check it out soon! There is a way out. You can escape. :) Did you try clicking the wooden chair or computer, beneath the left window? ♥

**[SPOILERS! DON'T READ THIS COMMENT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME]**
@jjbug Oh, yes, I've been fiddling with the Apps answers for quite a long while. I tried to play along, not to play along. I tried choosing only the words I heard from the beautiful singing voice. I also died. I tried staying dead, not staying dead. And in my death I heard a distant singing voice. Was that the escape? It does feel better than Pluto.

@demigiant **SPOILERS!** ♥ ♥ ♥ ~~Yes. If there were captions for the outro song, it might make more sense. As it stands, I am afraid it is not very clear. To clarify, I will say that in the final reprise that she sings, the words include: "she's alive..." and "hold on..." and "we won; we are strong; we won."~~ ♥ ♥ ♥ Though it may not have been clear, you won. :) Thank you for playing.

@jjbug Aaaah. I'm not English native and, even if I use English a lot, I still get confused by uncaptioned words, so I didn't notice that. Well, now thay I know I experienced it all, including the ending, I can say it was beautiful. Thank you

[spoilers] Not sure if I got a good end or not, but everything faded to black and a voice started singing eventually. I really love the atmosphere and voice acting. The music is a great touch with its etheral vocals at the end giving you something to hold onto as the world turns black. I love the themes of this entry.

I literally don't understand what the hell was going on. The music was nice though.

One of the most unique entries I've played so far in this jam. I really liked the atmosphere and the weird gameplay.
The graphics and sounds were really off-putting in a really cool way. I especially liked the voice acting. I only wish it was longer.

Very nice narrative, loved it. It was a bit confusing to know where to click and when you were supposed to do so, but the audio and the music and the AI voice, it all works together really well. Very solid entry, congratulations!

The graphics are good and the ambient sound is nice, but I had no idea what to do here.
