Cool text adventure. I wish I had the patience to try all word combinations.

Submitted

Cool game idea, I like it. Music and graphics on the level.

Super cool game, I had to stop myself playing for too long so i could review other games :D I'll have to come back and see if i can actually solve the puzzles. Was definitely stumped for a bit. Very nice job on this!

I really enjoyed playing this game. The music and art was really nice.

The mystery was very intriguing and fun to uncover. The voice acting was incredible.

The only improvement I can suggest is that the terminal itself can be more intuitive. This mainly means more explanatory error messages other than "You can't do that". I also think tab to auto complete would make this game a lot more fun (and quicker).

Other than that, I think this was a great entry! Great job!

Developer

Hello! Thanks for playing! Tab to complete should be working, is it not? You can also press the up and down arrow to cycle through previous commands you've used.

Submitted

Oops. I must have been using it incorrectly. Just verified that it is working. Sorry about the confusion.

Great game, well put together! Just a minor UI issue with the history overlapping the main typing prompts.

I have to admit this is one of the best games i played so far. The concept is really interesting letting you actually be an investigator and doing that via text commands feels like you are the one driving things like you could do anything you like. It is better done than many games of that genre.

Adding to that the story is nice and humorous making it a very pleasant experience and the graphics/sound design is spot on. I really liked the system you have that gives hints on what to type in.

I havent spent the time i should on it as i want to check out some more games first but i ll definitely get back to it after i do.

Overall a very clever game and pretty well executed! Good job!

I loved this! I'm usually not a big fan of textbook RPG/story-type games, but this one was super cool! The art is good, the fact that you had multiple voice actors was incredible, the music was great, the story was gripping, and the puzzles were good (although at times a bit hard). I ended up opening a notepad with a bunch of information just so I could keep track! 

I will admit, after going back to the station a couple of times to get hints that basically pointed me towards what I already knew, I had to consult the hints. But I am proud to say that I only looked at the solution for the "R1W3 etc." puzzle, cause that's the only time I got truly stuck. 

A super interesting take on the theme, great concept, great execution, would Fly again!

Developer

Thanks so much! It's funny, when I'm making a puzzle, the whole time I'm worried like "It's gonna be so easy to figure out" but then it ends up being so hard. I guess I have an advantage because I made it 😂. I really appreciate you taking so much time to play it!! I'll definitely give your game a try tomorrow.

This melted my brain but was a lot of fun to figure out!

Fun and interesting adventure mechanics. Nicely done.

Pretty cool! Wow, so detailed! I will definitely have to come back and continue. Love the graphics and specially the music!

Good luck!

Ok, this is so well done! Very thorough, and very thoughtful accommodating so many groups of people.  Artwork is excellent, story is excellent...but I tried my best and got stuck, so I read some hints you provided.  One said to open the desk drawer, but I cannot get it to open, and have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  I really want to figure this out so I can finish it! I'm so invested.  Please help!  I tried "open desk", "open drawer"...

Developer

I'm so glad you like it! The suggestions should help. "open pink desk drawer" or purple, or left, or right, instead of pink. Good luck!! :) 

Developer

Were you able to figure out how to finish?

Submitted

Not yet! I should be able to get back on it this weekend though

Submitted(+1)

Ok!  I just beat it.  That was tough! But a good tough.  The only thing I needed a hint on (besides how to open the drawer) was what R. and W. stood for.  Otherwise, the challenge was really good, and very rewarding when I discovered clues and figured out your puzzles.  So good, 5 stars, would definitely play more!

Thank you so much! That means a lot, I know my game is long and involved so I really appreciate you playing it all the way through. <3
