Too real.

At first I thought the game was completely buggy on my Game Boy DMG, but then I realized I had to use a color! A non-compatibility screen would be nice :p
The software reminds me of the Austin Powers games on GBC, I don't know if you were inspired by them, but I like the quirky concept ;)

Oh man, I'm sorry about that! I didn't think to put a non-compatibility screen, but I definitely will now that you've mentioned it. Thank you for the meaningful feedback. I've never played any Austin Powers games on the GBC, but now I'm gonna go check them out lol. Thanks again!

Okay, this one had me laughing. First I get pulled down into the sea and on my next try I get slashed. This is some dark stuff with some sugary coating on it. I like! 

Developer

Thanks so much! I'm happy you thought it was entertaining. 💖

This one was really interesting and original! Great graphics sounds and narrative. Got endings A and B. It gets really creepy

Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad you thought it was interesting and original. 😄

This is a pretty original idea, and I don't think I've ever seen a game take this type of turn. I think it would be cool to see a few more endings and the game expanded out a little more, since it is relatively linear.

Thank you! Originally I planned to have at least two characters with 4 routes each, but I only really had 4 days to work on this so I had to cut a lot of content. I may expand it out after the jam. 😊

I got ending B. I think the moral of the story here is to not use social media.

You’re absolutely right lol. The report buttons do nothing in this game to be as close to reality as possible, even.

Very original idea! Liked to find something fresh and different

Thanks, Ruben. 💖You're a treasure.

I got the drown ending. is it the only ending? weird, but interesting

Developer

There are two endings, Ending A and Ending B. If you need help getting the second ending, I left instructions in the README. Thank you for playing!

Weird and cool, but more direction as to what to do would not go astray.

Developer

Thanks. I went back and forth as to whether I should put some more markers to guide the player to do things, but ultimately decided not to because I wanted the player to wander around and find weird, optional stuff. The markers I *did* put such as the "start here" are actually even totally optional and not required to progress at all. Glad you liked the vibes, at least.
