I appreciate that you are trying to tackle an important message with this game. I actually somehow had never heard of the 988 hotline before (or if I had, I couldn't remember), so I think for players in the US, this could be helpful information.
I also had the same issues that @pecheny mentioned below. I didn't realize at first that I had to press [enter] to continue to the next bit of intro text, and then, when I did think to try that, nothing happened, so for a while I thought maybe that wasn't what I needed to do. Then it worked when I hit [enter] again. And, yeah, hitting enter twice in a row can crash the game.
I know that maybe you ran out of time and couldn't put some things in there, but I would recommend having more instructions and find ways to telegraph what the player can do. If you want more information about this, I would recommend checking out the concept of "affordances" in game design.
I think you have the core of an adventure game setup that you can now use for future games. I hope you keep going with it!
Well there is no much gameplay but feeling of losing a mind is kinda expressed well.
Inactive menu item, first caption passing after two enter-presses (the same for gameplay captions), last intro caption – without pressing keys at all. If you hit enter to fast the game hungs dead during the intro. Mixing keyboard and mouse controls. And sudden ening. Not sure how to value the game as a game but as experience of given topic – very nice.
I am also unable to play it, exclusively because I don't use Windows.
I'm sorry I'm trying to fix it!
The web version is broken like the description says, and my computer wouldn't let me execute the file for the downloadable version. Not sure if it's an issue with my device or with the file, but I couldn't play or therefore rate the game.
