This is pretty cool and I was definitely trying to kill everyone heh. I couldn't figure out how to get to a couple of them though. I also ran into two bugs: in one, I tried listening to house 10 once and it got stuck in a loop. The second, the whole screen randomly turned black when ii was about to recommend something (that could be a unity text box length error perhaps). Good work overall!

Played the Itch.io version. Love the concept! I was playing for a couple of minutes, and when I tried to leave #1 it gave me an error about excess vertices not being supported.

Loved the concept, but the second house I could not leave or proceed or sleep. :(

I'm confused... is this android-only? The cloud build service says it's only available on android devices.

Sorry! Something got messed up with Cloud Build. Actually, The version it links to didn't even exist when I submitted, so something must have changed. Should be fixed now.

Neat idea! I tried both versions, but I hit a few errors after playing for a while: an array out of bounds error and a "canvas element contains more than 65535 vertices" error. I got the gist of it, but didn't quite understand how to make my recommendations have any impact. I also accidentally slept just as night came once, whoops. I think this would have been better suited for a button interface rather than a text-based one... it didn't seem like it added anything to the game other than making me type more. Cool concept and nice music!

it was a bit confusing at first because i chose a low resolution and did not see the options i had on the right. after i found out about that, i enjoyed the story.

The screen in the web version is quite small, so I could not see everything. But overall the game is really interesting.
