Pretty nice idea for the theme. It would be nice to see some visual ques in addition to audio ones though. Very nice graphics and cool concept!

Underrated game. I tried every possible ending and I am not sure if I got all of them. The only thing I can complain about is voiceovers overlapping

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept. BTW who is the voice supposed to be, player input?

P.S. Make it so that the voice lines don't overlap each other in case you are speedrunning as it can get pretty loud

Cool game! I got stuck on the multiple doors room for a bit, before realizing it was obvious

Thanks for playing ButterStik!I Hahaha, sorry,i initially had the door be very very obvious and then it was too hand-holdy,so i made it a bit more hidden, hope you had fun!

This was a fun experience - love the option of multiple endings (I tried to live forever on the internet as it seemed like the sort of thing I'd do!) and options for expression. The Stanley Parable influence definitely comes through, with the voice acting being a nice touch and setting the tone well :)
