Great writing, great style, interesting story and a very sovlful menu. I very much dig the noir-like hardboiled detective shtic. No idea if you're serious with it or if it's more of a parody, but I like it a lot. Again - writing is good, funny at times. Really gets you invested in the main character and the story. Great stuff.
Controller button layout is awkward - square acts as a menu/cancel button, which is very unorthodox - usually it's triangle/start for menu open/close and circle for cancel (PS5 controller). And I found a bug - there seems to be a section when the movement inputs are ignored somewhere on the up-left of the left stick. But it's minor, and the D-pad works fine.
Huge props for mac build, absolute legend. Will try it out on my own time some time later. And yeah, looking forward to a full release!
Glad you liked it. My writing style is humorous, but I wouldn't say the game is intended as a parody or a deconstruction. A lot of earlygame dialogue was co-written by my old programmer Hex too, lol
Thanks for the feedback on the controller setup. You can remap the controls in-game, but we could change the default scheme if need be.
Sorry I missed your stream by the way! Was at work. Honored to be the only game you gave a perfect score (good taste).
I mostly wanted to post how this is really good. I'm 100% going to buy it on release if I remember to. I didn't find any bugs, but I'm not playing too much since I don't want to spoil myself when the full game releases. Keep doing what you are doing and it should be fun. Do you know what the price will be like on release?
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I can't make any promises on the price (mostly because several numbers have been thrown around and we're still rather up in the air), but most likely we're looking at 6 or 7 USD. Really appreciate your encouragement.

this is absolutely great.
the immersive menu is amazing
a tape recorder for saving? a screwdriver for the settings? top tier.
great sound effects with a moody hard boiled atmosphere...
and the writing is funny, too
great job!

Sounds good, you can honestly get away with 15-20 dollars too. Very much looking forward to the final release.
Whole buncha new shit since last time. Try it out if you want. Mostly just looking for bug reports at this point, let us know if you find anything.
