What can i say?
I'm very good.. at bad endings 
thank u, that was awkward :D 
/the visual style is awesome btw

Loving the visual style.  The text box was kind of small and made it hard to read bigger sections of  text, but that might've just been how my laptop decided to display the screen.  Overall though, it was a fun little trip downtown on a boss' errand, and I enjoyed it!

I ended up with endings 1 and 3, for the sake of reference.  ^^

Not totally happy with that textbox myself I must admit...
I intend to reuse it in a larger game, I have to do something about it !

Uh oh, I'm not a very good assistant... But I guess it could have been worse! (Got ending 2)

If only you knew a place where you could find a correct picture ! ;)

This game felt rather straightforward... until my 2nd playthrough. Made me go 'ooohhh' like Timon & Pumbaa. I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Great write-up! I also especially love how you amalgamated the traversal mechanics and images to recreate something similar to the old-school text-based adventures.

Developer

I always like to provide a simple ending so that a player that has basically no time can enjoy the gameplay and "universe" and actually reach a conclusion to the story. Glad you tried a second times. Now, will you get the third ending ? ;)

I am the best god dammed assistant in this office!!!

The visual style of this game just feels delightful, I love it more than I should. The game itself was a bit simple, but the way you played with the interface just made it so much more interesting!!

I hope that woman enjoys her gift :3

Ooh, twist at the end! I liked your visual styling a bunch; such a seemingly small touch really adds to the sense of immersion. Nice work!

There are 3 possible endings ! (My favorite is the twisty one, but you can indeed find a gift for the wife !)

Oh man, I really wanna find out what the gift it. I really like the aesthetic! And I enjoyed the game as well. Thank you for making it.

Wow, that ending and still not knowing the gift! What punishment! Lovely, unique presentation - especially the edited images.

Very short and very weird. I adore the aesthetic. I can’t believe you wrote this on your phone!

Interesting start, hope you get a chance to finish it!

I love the look of this game. Tried a few times to play but keep getting stuck in the street. The description says it is unfinished, is the part after the street still in development?

Developer

There's a big bad bug there, yes, that will be fixed once I get myself in front of an actual computer !
