I like the music, the art style, the colour palette, character interactions, and overall mystery. However, finding Moz's phone took me a full 10 minutes, I had to just click randomly in the end. I think it was somewhere between his legs? A bigger hitbox, or some kind of visual cue, or maybe even both would do a lot to help that.

However, it was a great time and I really want to play more! If you made an expanded version, or sequel, I would play it.

I've had a couple complaints about that, is text appearing when you are over his phone? I could probably implement a glowy thing help.

I've gone back and double checked, yes text does appear when I hover over his phone. 
Finding it the second time was easier, but adding a glowy thing (or similar) would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply btw 👍

Face ID is an amazing mechanic, especially with decapitation. Loved the attenuated ringing. In fact the mechanics kept me playing moreso than the plot, which never fully connected. UI was highly legible and art well-suited. Only complaint would be small phone hitboxes. Great work!

I was really really into the game when it seemed to crash ?
It happened when I clicked on "Call Moz" on the second phone (Pin protected).
The music is still playing but the game is frozen and I have no cursor. I still can press Echap to get the menu, but still no cursor there.
I hope it helps fixing the bug!

Developer

I got to that point to have a look, and you're right there is no cursor which is correct behaviour, although it should appear on the menu.  But left clicking still allowed me to advance. Did you hear a phone ringing and get the message "Where's your phone Moz?"

Developer

I had a look through and a function gets called there that some Windows PCs struggle with, I don't know why. Since it's not vital I removed it, and re-uploaded. Thanks for you help, hope you get the chance to play it again!

I tried it again and I got the same problem : absolutely nothings happens after I call Moz. I don't hear the phone ringing and don't get any message :(

Developer

Even with the update?

Sorry I didn't say your second post! It does work with the update! And it was great, thanks

Developer

Phew! Glad it worked and glad you liked it, thanks again! :)
