The concept of this game has a lot of promise, but it seems to be bugged. When interacting with most characters, the "Just an old pile of trash" line keeps getting repeated, so it seems that it is basically impossible to do what needs to be done to finish the game.
Graphically it's extremely interesting, surreal, even. It has good music, and the beginnings of good gameplay. I think that I would really enjoy the full experience of this game if it was complete.
Hello, thank you for replying. Yeah, it's not bug per se, but rather we didn't have enough time to write all the data files for dialogs, because it's JSON we didn't finish all of them unfortunately. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed to look of the game nonetheless.
I have never been so pleased to be a pile of trash. This was quite the wacky experience, and I'm not sure I understood what I was doing. I think I could have gone through the light entrance if I managed to give away all my stuff, but I don't think it's possible to give everything away. Some characters just repeat the trash line, and just don't seem to have been finished.
Though throw all of that out the window, I don't really care, the game really went fucking ballistic on the aesthetic, and this is just really cool to play. Did not understand anything, but very much enjoyed.
