Pretty funny game, concept is great!

But was waiting for bus for 2 minutes, i guess i really just speedrunned my way through :)

Also moving with mouse in this game done pretty comfortable loved how you implemented that! 

Music reminded me of old Minecraft Machinimas, it was adorable!

Overall, loved idea of digital influencers and style is awesome!

Part of the screen was cut off for me. (Linux version; my display is 16:10).

Also, this main menu dearly needs a proper "Quit" button!

I'm glad you provided a Linux version right away since there isn't a browser version (not that I would blame you for that, apparently this is something that doesn't really work with Unreal).

Some info about the controls would have been useful, it took me a while to find out it's basically just point'n'click ;)


(And yeah, I did leave the main map at the end of the road, too...)

these must be the cutest boxes i've ever seen.

I found the bus stop early and then got killed at the last second by camera flashes 👻 Nice intro cutscene and presentation in general - it really set the humorous theme. Good job on the submission!

Really fun little game.

I think the camera flashes could use a little tweaking, I could be quite far away and in a different direction but would still take damage.

Great submission though

Oh, i love this game!!!

Really nice game. These guys walking looking only to the phone remind me of my friends playing Pokemon Go. The visuals were really good, clean and easy to understand. 

I just think the camera could follow a bit earlier. I had some trouble on watching what was ahead when moving.

nyc game i really enjoy it

The world of the game is beautiful and alive, running as a ghost is quite fun :)

When I played for the first time, I was pushed out of the map by a car, the game had to be restarted, but on the second attempt I managed to leave on the last bus!

I also really liked the intro, it's funny :D

This game was surprisingly good! I can't tell you how satisfying it was to make them follow me into that hole over and over lol It controlled really well and was really easy to understand and play.

My only gripe was having to wait around at the bus stop until midnight. Getting there early felt really good but then I was kind of punished and had to wait. Although it did make for an intense moment when there were tons of people around and I didn't wanna die. (Where was another convenient hole? Haha!)

All in all, well done! It was a great game that nailed the theme :)

I actually enjoyed the idea even with the problems that the other commenters mentioned. I think the main issue is that even if people find the bus station, they won’t necessarily connect the dots that they have to wait until midnight. You know, the title of the game lol. You also just hang around for a few minutes with nothing to do which is a bit odd.

I liked the aesthetic! The music was a little loud,  i didn't have that much indication on what to do, which led to me not quite knowing where to go, i eventually just fell off the map. Good aesthetic and idea!

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

We will look to these points and work on a fix. ;D

Nice game, I really like the aesthetics. Gameplay wise, it could do with some hints to tell the player where to go though! I just wandered around for a while until I got run over :(

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! :D

You're right, it lacked a clear indication of where the player should go...  :/ 

By the way, in case you play again, the bus stop is at top right portion of the map. ;D
