Amazing art, really struck a nerve with me. I keep getting ending C though haha :')
If it makes you feel better I wrote ending C and D to be much more interesting so a fail is a win in that sense haha. Thank you for the kind words about my art and I hope you enjoyed our little game! Thanks for checking it out :)
Really creepy art, takes a psychopath to draw, but interesting game overall.
This comment definitely made me giggle as I would be the psychopath in question. I'm glad you found it creepy and I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!
Really interesting concept, me and my partner felt the pressure and intensity of the square roots! The atmosphere was creepy and dark and it was cool to see a game exploring something completely different.
Yeah the concept was a joke at first but then we ran with it and decided to try and do the best we can with something as unassuming as square roots hah. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for playing!
Adored the art, I'm glad my partner is amazing at math. Great entry! He just started telling me numbers and I was so lost.
Hi, I'm the artist so thank you! And don't worry numbers have me lost too, that's why I thought math would make for an amazing horror experience, the game practically writes itself haha. Thank you for playing!
Great stuff Nia! I really like the atmosphere you've made for it! I think it's an artist thing to be lost with numbers haha!
Got the math questions right
As someone who sucks at math I am impressed, thank you for playing!
I love the atmosphere of the game. I literally have no clue of math whatsoever so I don't think I'll get to see the other endings, but I'll definitely budge my college-worthy friends so we can see the rest of the endings.
Jokes aside, really cool game!
Thank you so much! The whole team actually hates math so I feel you for sure, when writing this I actually hoped more people would fail than not as those endings where you run out of time or fail are much more interesting and best serve the purpose of the game which is to show the pressure that kids in school feel during these things. I would say if you failed you played the game correct haha
Very impressive! Both the game and how you managed to make math even more disturbing.
