What worked:
It's a very mysterious and intriguing game. I liked that the description felt like part of the game too. Figuring out what the messages meant felt really good. It has a sort of eerie atmosphere that adds to the experience of these strange tasks.
What didn't:
It's a very hard game to figure out mechanically as is. Objectives and different endings are very unclear, as are conditions to get fired (I'm guessing not doing your job or doing things the people dislike?). I like that the different screens have a different purpose, but it may be better to condense some things. For the morse code, it's a bit tricky having to go back and forth between the two screens, then to a third screen to enter it. On top of all of this, another call happens very shortly, before you have any time to figure out the current one! So spacing calls out would also probably help.
Honestly the best thing would probably be to have days or something to ease people into the different mechanics, possibly with more of a forward story, or even just simple instructions. This way the weirder stuff and choices the player can make (for the different endings) would come later, after the player understands the basic mechanics. Of course it's a jam game, but this would be a good idea if you wanted to continue working on this.
Bugs:
I'm not sure if this is intended, but it seems like things don't work with the window open? Also after a certain point I was unable to open the minigame even with the window closed.
Great job! I kept getting fired haha.
Thanks for this big response. With this tips I will fix my game. And window bug... Pretty interesting will find out problem
Glorious one, loved the analog UI, loved how complex it is despite being a jam game, loved the concept. The UI needs a bit of work to be properly functionnal but it's a blast to see something so original, congratulation
This seem like a really interesting game that I could come back later, it is really hard to understand what happening at any time, and a tutorial step by step would work great for this, but overall this seem like a great game
Very cool game dude !
Very unique and interesting gameplay - I agree it’s a bit hard to understand at first and the most bothering thing to me was having to change screens very often, probably some modal window would have worked better but still one of the most original games this jam
Liked the concept of it, but it was kind of hard to play, Pretty original!
Interesting ^^
Very interesting concept.
Thanks!
Hard to get into it, but once u get the hang it is pretty good. Great art and sound effects!
I couldn't figure out what to do, but this is a neat idea! This reminds me of a minigame on Jackbox Games that I used to play with a group of people
Thanks for reply, but can you say in what part you confused I want to know what can be not clear for people
This is cool but tbh I don't really know what I'm doing. I read the description and it didn't really help. Maybe that's the point though. Really unique though! I know that if I understood it, it would have been really cool
Thanks for reply, I got it, I will fix the description for being easier to know what to do!
Updated! Now without screenshots (because I'm touching grass lol) but later they will be in description too.
Fully updated now
