Very uniquie entry! Fun way to implement the itch password system into a simple ARG experence.

Overall: This may be the first Harold Jam entry I've ever played which did not come with some kind of game attached. Somehow still as creative as I'd expect a Ronaldbabe entry to be.

Gameplay: Can't say I ever played a Harold Jam game like this before. Always the trailblazer Ronald!

Music: I probably had a song in my head as I plugged the coordinates into Google Maps.

Story: A service to the gameplay IMO.

Graphics: The building with the number on it was pretty.

Comedy: Carried by the premise of this game.

The sheer weirdness of this gets comedy points from me! I was convinced that you violated the rules, but turns out you somehow skirted that line and made a cool entry! The sheer originality of this was so entertaining, though it was probably about the least Harold-y entry so far. No I reread it without doing the puzzles and it is Harold-y! I mean, that ending . . .

OMg, can I know your experience in first playthrough? Was the story clear enough at first?

I think I was not reading carefully since I was focused on the puzzles, which were sometimes a challenge to decipher, and as I worked through them I'd forget what was happening. Crossword made sense, but then the coordinates one I had to read a number of times.

I really liked how this was put together in a breadcrumb/solve puzzle way.

I don't want to give this one a low score because I love these little logic puzzles so much, but out of respect for the rest of the entries I need to 1star you on graphics and music, sorry ron :heart:
The little story was random but very funny and very much in the spirit of Harold Jam, I enjoyed it too.

Very unique idea! Feels like a scavenger hunt kind of thing.

I want to rate this higher because of the novelty and cleverness despite it not fitting very well into the ratings categories we have for this jam.

Shadow of the Erdtree step aside, this is the hardest game ever made.

The one thing I learned is, I’m an idiot. I think a fresher me who wasn’t exhausted and capable of reading, would have enjoyed this a lot more or given it the respect it deserves. As usual from Ronald a unique idea well implemented. Had to go back and read the story and quite enjoyed it.

Git gud at google map.

This is a creative submission.  Didn't expect I have to open google maps for playing a jam game.

I know I literally just called Lee Harold Oswald the weirdest Harold entry I've ever played but this was also one of the weirdest jam entries I have ever played, bravo. Seriously though, I had a lot of fun with this.
