How does your game fit the theme?
In our game, the player learns that they are going to begin intensely hallucinating very soon, and that they need to keep it together for the last 5 minutes of their shift.

In the first ~40 seconds of the game, the player familiarizes themself with the main gameplay loop of delivering drinks and talking to guests, both of which are fairly easy. This is the "calm".

But once it starts to kick in, and the player begins to hallucinate, everything starts to spiral. Basic tasks become chaotic challenges, and strange visuals mask the entire screen. The once easy tasks are now intense, unpredictable, and funny. This is the "storm".

Please enjoy our game, thank you!

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything is done from scratch other than the walking animations, which are from Mixamo.

Man, the premise and intro are hilarious. I didn't know what I was gonna get myself into, but I was ready to go. Great dialogue and responses all around. The growing hallucinations and floating glass work hilarious too. Great game 12/10.

The game was incredibly fun, well balanced, and packed with style. The main theme and dialogues were a highlight, and I loved the chaotic, immersive experience.

Developer

Wow dude thanks so much! Just played your game too, it was super super stylish

Cruelty Squad meets Night of the Consumers. Incredibly fun, well balanced and oozing with style, loved the main theme and the dialogues too. It's one of my favorites so far, huge props to everyone involved!

Loved the game, felt very cruelty squad eque. The one issue I had was it wasn't clear that I needed to pick up the glass after filling them by shooting as the arrow was pointing me else were making me think I had to shoot another glass.

Developer

Really glad you liked it! and thanks for finding that bug!

Enjoyed the concept of this game and its trippy nature.

I did experience a big on my first play through but I couldn't replicate it, I shot the wine glass and it dropped on the floor, but I didn't notice it and was following the arrows that were leading me to an open area and glass wasn't there, walked around map eventually found the glass and game was fine after that.

Well done.

Developer

It's amazing that you finished this in such a short time! I really like the gameplay and music, though it's a bit difficult for me—I always get fired :( The art is also distinctive. Good job!

I love how it gets super trippy, and the NPCs are hilarious. Awesome interpretation of the theme :)

Developer

Thanks so much man, I loved your game too. Was hillarious

Submitted(+1)

cool game! the idea is pretty unique!
i just dont know if its intended or if its just a problem from me but when the main character gets drunk and wants to shoot a glass with wine, its movement and mouse sensitivity becomes so much harder to handle and the timer for when the guests ask you something is a bit fast in my opinion but overall it was a pretty fun experience!

Submitted

Okay, so first of all, this game holds maybe the best or one of the best interpretations of the theme of the games I've played so far. The intro is hilarious and really sets up for the rest of the game well. I also like talking to customers especially when you get intoxicated and the responses half go off the screen. My one thing is something I think someone else already said - the wine glass shooting part - but still, amazing game.
I'm ranking this highly :)

Developer

Thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Very good visuals really wow congrats, unique idea and game never would think of something like that! Hope others will like it and don't get any seizure from the colors

Submitted

The effects get super trippy, I like the graphics and audio and the entire concept overall. I wish the gameplay was a bit more dynamic. Other than that pretty awesome.

8/10 :>

Developer

Thanks man! I appreciate it. 

Submitted

woahhhh this is trippy. i love the idea of the "storm" being the hit you get from drugs. It's also a really nice touch on the responses you get from NPCs getting worse and worse over time. This needs more ratings

Developer(+1)

Thanks man I appreciate it!
