Game description
The game starts with you, the player, entering the Shadow Society’s first meeting in months. Their goal? Steal the Egg Diamond. It takes a lot of money away from important things, like helping the homeless population of Eggville. Will you be able to take the egg and help out the people?
Theme interpretation
Secret societies are real things. A lot of them have good intentions that are blocked by officials. I thought I’d make a game revolving around that.
Wildcards used (optional)
Let players break the rules with things like infinite lives or invincibility

Unfortunately any time I tried to play this, it would just cut to a scene with my character and a police officer that I can't interact with, and all I can do is move back and forth on the screen. Seems like there's more to this game that I couldn't figure out how to get to?
I used the 'barzil' cheat code and it gave me access to some other cheat codes that could skip to later moments in the game, but it didn't seem possible for me to get there organically?
Maybe i've missed something obvious. Sorry if that's the case!
Thanks for your reply! The main gameplay (sorry if it was rushed, it will change to be better in Secretive Society 2) is the scene you found with the police officer (Dr. Carp Cop) and your character, moving back and forth. If you have a live data checker that works with running games, you might see a data value that represents the amount of seconds that you have to survive in that area, ranging from 1 (60 sec) minute to 10 (600 sec) minutes. After that, the egg thing will show up. If DCC catches you in the forest scene (the scene with DCC and the player), it will add one to the “yikes” counter, and it will also add one to it if you get caught trying to steal the EggDiamond. Hope this helps!
All I could do was walk left and right, nothing seemed to happen. Agreed that the text at start has much too long pauses at end - recommend allowing any key to skip to 'reveal all the text' (or even get rid of the animation completely) and pressing second time to 'jump to next text'.
Thanks for your suggestions! So far, the only controls are left and right, but that will change in Secretive Society 2, once I get more time to make the game. If you want, you can use the cheat code “barzil” (as in the place in Slap Battles) to skip the tutorial dialogue, and just to make things easier to understand (for the “nothing seemed to happen” part), the code picks a random number 1 through 10, and then the main gameplay sequence where you said you could just move left and right lasts for that many minutes.
Iiiiinteresting. Veeeery interesting
Nice story concept, although the text moved really slow so could do with a way to speed up text lol
also would recommend against using AI for the music, since copyright free music can be found and used just as easy :)
carp bossfight when?
Thanks for the suggestions! The Dr. Carp Cop bossfight will probably appear in Secretive Society 2, hopefully coming out sometime next year.
