Love it when games go meta and for a text based game, you really nailed the presentation. The itch.io page alone catches your eye and makes it very intriguing to check the game out :)

I found a fun way to innovate the text-based game experience

What a great idea! It felt super innovative. :) It took me way too long to figure out that “right click->open with” is the way to go 🤣

InsanelyGoatedVery cool concept. I feel like it is imposable to do without the clues. Nevertheless, good job!

The Flower Factory"The vault was here"... Awesome game! Thanks for sharing it with us. I also happy to see what tools did you use. That is also really helpful. Good job!

Yucatán - Tale of the ElderI absolutely live for games like these. Having to solve puzzles OUTSIDE of the actual game is probably my favorite genre of games as of late. I just wish there were some more SFX after dialogue to help the imagination a bit. Also the clues were absolutely NOT clues, they were just answers. Still, I really enjoyed my time with this game!

Echo: First LocationHey! Thanks for the kind words :)
What kind of SFX do you think I should put after the dialogue? (I'm actively working on improving the game.)
Also, for the clues, I get that those are answers. This was partially intentional since I wanted to make sure nobody got stuck permanently. That's why I have the note that tells you to try to solve each puzzle without the clues.
Thanks again for your feedback. Glad you liked the game :)
Good sound and atmosphere. The game is nice but it's hard to understand puzzle requirements. Altering files and the vibe of the game remind me of IMSCARED a bit. I liked the approach of opening the files with the game. Nice job but it was a bit hard to understand for me.

Observer in HypnopompiaCharming and difficult puzzle game, got stuck with only 3 endings but will definitely try again soon. Main feedback would be by golly please stop closing the game so much.

The Chaos DeckFascinating! This is a real mind bender. Definitely an aberration!
I'll come back to it to get to all 10 endings.
Well done!

Norm's FaceI enjoyed playing it. Nice audio and story line... felt a bit abrupt to exit the game immediately when the story path ends (unless that was just it crashing or something on my machine). Nice submission, great job!

Unexpected Panic!A very original interpretation of a text-based game. I really liked the flow. Although it would be nice if the progress was persistent so that it encourages you to play for other endings too. Now you have to do the things all over again. But other than that, a really simple and engaging game.
