Very innovative and fun. The main menu alone shows you how elaborate the design is. Fantastic job!

Developer

Thank you! :)

Very creative and lots of fun to toy around with.  Didn't think I'd play a game here where I never really left the menu. Good job.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

I like the creativity here :) hidden words etc ... good take!

I like it!

I really like how the words you can use in the "ask" part are highlighted in blue; it took me a few seconds to figure it out, but when I did it was pretty satisfying; it walked very well on the "not too easy to figure out but also not too hard to notice" line. 

Developer

Thanks! The idea was to reference the text adventure games, but I figured some help is probably welcomed because the user might not expect a text adventure within an otherwise graphical game :)

Not too bad! I thought it was cool how you hid the games, but I do think that might be a bit frustrating for people unwilling to explore the area. Perhaps make it a bit more clear? 

Developer

Thanks! I think it's a bit of an artifact of the fact that I had started with the idea to include some more interactive elements, but did not have the time to include them. This makes the more difficult to find elements stand out.

Very fun and intresting game.

Developer

Thank you!

I like how you start an actual game in credits, it's really creative!

Developer

Haha, I don't know if I'll do a "dull" credits screen ever again (if I find the time) :)

Nice game, it has a cool concept!
I wish it was longer!

Developer

Thanks, me too! Unfortunately life got in the way  :(

Hey, I made it until the end! This was definitely one of the more unique concepts out there. Nice job!

Developer

Great job! :D Thanks
