The Cortex is no more! Funny little story with a good idea, quite short but it works.

This was a cool experience. What might make it more interesting would be instead of playing a sound for an invalid choice, add some dialog dismissing it somehow. It would also be great to fit in some sort of interaction that the player can control (but may be inconsequential!) that way when you do take the control away it feels like it matters more.

The buttons are a bit off. ik it is to help the theme but it just makes the experience a bit messy. Great story and take tho ! keep it up !

I loved the popup message.

Loved the script. The comment about Javascript script made me giggle!

Great job in completing the jam :) It's more of a story than a game though :)

The idea is good, and I like the text based choice. Btw, I wish I could interact a little more in the game. Great music.

Developer

Hey guys, it turns out the problem with the mouse is that I was trying to get the mouse location in the document, but I should've gotten the mouse position relative to the canvas. Sorry for that.

Good concept, the music was very nice, as everybody said, collisions were off a bit, but overall great job in completing the jam!

Neat story, audio grew on me during the gameplay, and I am glad I could go through dialog as quickly as I needed to (didnt have to wait for anything). Other than the collisions on the buttons being a bit wonky, this was a fun little adventure. Keep up the great work!

As everybody said, collisions were weird for me too, the alert at the end saying thank you was intentional or is it a debug message that  slipped to the release version? It's not really my type of game but it's a Nice game!!  Congrats!

Developer

Yeah the alert was intentional, but I probably should've just added another textbox at the end.

I really liked the music!  Interesting concept

It's interesting as a concept, but a visual novel without any proper choices is just a story and not really a game. I'd be interested in it as a story if it was more fleshed out.

The browser pop up was a very nice touch though.
