GAMEPLAY
The concept was interesting. I wish there was maybe a little bit more to do or content, but I do not think it was intended to be more, and it did this fine. The transitions took some time, so playing quickly to achieve all endings was not easy to do fast.

ART STYLE / VISUALS
The graphics were satisfactory, adequately supporting the game's concept.

AUDIO / SOUND DESIGN
The sound was quite right for this kind of game(play).

INNOVATION
The game was not particularly innovative.

THEME
The theme was integrated in a fun and playful way.

Overall a fun and good little game jam entry. Well done 💪!

Animation transitions took forever, and the character movement/interacting with stuff never made sense - sometimes soft locked, sometimes didn’t. The endings didn’t seem to have any connection with what was being talked about leading up to them. The messaging was good, I guess, but not particularly ground breaking or insightful, leaving it all kind of… meaningless feeling?

I did like the music loop, and the ideas you’re playing with, just didn’t quite do it for me.

dude, your sound design is killer, love whatever that jazzy looping riff song thing in the background is so sick. you scoped perfectly and the result is a ton of polish while also having a deep enough gameplay loop for a jam game. reminded me of one of those classic flash games that have different endings, which is not a bad thing at all. the intro menu where you click start and the cell bars roll down was super neat too. the dialogue with the therapist is legitimately insightful and though provoking which is rare in video games, and the twist of the player holding the key to his own cell the whole time is great. honestly dont have anything negative to say, its such a great jam game, and probably my favorite of the entries i've played. nice work!

I really like this little piece.
Originally my team wanted to create a story about someone who had chosen to isolate themselves, but we found it too challenging to write!
I think you did a great job writing this and there are some nice messages to be found.
Really well done! :)

Outside from the one bug that kept my character from walking to the phone if I pressed the phone too often everything worked well. The dialogue was mostly well written although I didn't understand one of the questions, but I got it right anyways. This was a fun little experience.

The dialogs were very creative, the game was well polished, the art and the music fit well. Overall really nice. I'd appreciate some more things to interact with though

I think the idea of a dialog was very creative.

The transitions and animations were really great. The menus, etc. felt very polished. I speed ran it after the first ending.

Simple but cool game, for me the transitions were a bit slow but the 8 endings are fun to find. Great game!

A pretty simple concept game suitable with the theme.

It fits the theme even better than mine.

I also loved the sound effects you made.

You can also play and rate my game. 

Also tell that did whether it fit the theme well or not?

The music and the AC SFX was brilliant! The buttons was confusing in the beggining!

Played and rated!

What I liked the most was the art style and audio. I had the phone rigging in the background while doing something else and it didn't bother as much as it stopped in some intervals rather than keep beeping, great detail to me.

Overall it's a simple concept but the art and audio makes it feel quite alive :)

Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well:

Like the concept, I agree that the screen cover animations are too slow I believe going after the 8 ending might be a bit repetitive, I will take my first ending which was number 3 as true ending. The art is simple but pleasent and the sounds are great. Its a well polished game and I like that you made a unique mouse-cursor.

fun visuals and sound effects, like others have said the transitions are too long and I also encountered not being able to leave after opening the door.

Preface

The rating is based on my personal preferences alone. Generally, I'm pretty open to new experiences, but I prefer games where lots of things happen. I tend to be a harsh critic.

I haven't finished the game. (I got 4 out of the 8 endings)

Gameplay/Fun

It's short and kind of shallow. The personality test in the beginning is pointless - why not add a way to skip it? The only way you get different endings is by clicking the different answers after that. You don't even have to read them. But I appreciate how you don't even have to go through all of this by just leaving.
Why not add different items to interact with?
The transitions take too long.

Art Style/Visuals

Pretty minimal, but they do their job.

Audio/Sound

The one song that plays through the game doesn't really fit. The therapist's voice is really annoying.

Innovation

I actually made a game like that for the jam before! It also had 8 endings!
With that said, interactive fiction isn't a novelty.

Theme

You isolate yourself from society by staying in the cage. It fits the theme.

Verdict: Good game, but it could use more content.

RATING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Nice visuals and funny sound effects. But the was boring tbh and the slow speed of animations made the game hard to finish and see all the endings.

Also I encountered a bug where I can open the door, but can't go out of the room.

I like the visuals, well i found a bug that the door is clickable even when the screen is black.

Nice visuals and sound design. I liked the Animal Crossing gibberish. I wish there was a little more I could do though..

Nice little game, cute graphics.

The art style is simple but very clean and the transitions are very nice. For some reasons I think I softlocked the game several times. Maybe I clicked too much or on things I wasn't supposed to.
