Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Interactive fiction is hard to make engaging, so it's really cool you made something that emulates Discord to create a horror experience that makes people feel like they're just chatting to a friend who happens to be more than a little messed up. Really convincing UI too. Great work!

Creepy story but I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be doing more. The voice at the end is the stuff of nightmares too, reminded me of Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice - good job!

Developer

We planned for you to be able to do more, there was a whole thing about hiding a URL that you can access with the in-game browser blablabla but we ran out of time.

Thx for playin’!

Interesting concept, I was very immersed in the conversation and the increasing strangeness was scarier than the scream at the end.

Good job

Developer

Thank you! Honestly the scream was more for the funsies to fit the cliche haha. I did try my best to make the convo the main meat.

Submitted(+1)

That's good enough. The screamer at the end complements the game well.

Developer

Liked the story telling. Technically not a game, but I had fun.

Would it be possible to have "Midnight Messages" to download. That tune is great! :)


Developer(+1)

Thank you, Mr. Duck.

Aaaand yeah, I'll get the song out soon(tm). It's gonna need a little edit but shouldn't be long!

Fun and creepy. I'm gonna go touch grass now.

Developer

Keep your dosage of grass touching in check, don't want to get dragged into a cult believe me.

Man I love Linux! Etunes my fav. Great writing everything felt natural and I thought it was cool how you used the punctuation to convey the imposters inconsistencies. Really cool good job.

Developer

Ayy tyty!

Submitted(+1)

This was such a creative project! Bravo on all of this, and great game!

Developer

Much obliged!

Submitted(+1)

This was fun! As many have said, it'd be fun if you could decide on what to say, but it's a Game Jam, you already did a lot! I liked the interactions, it felt like me shooting the shit with my friends.

Developer(+1)

The shit shoots were shat from my poopy hole.  (This isn't a professional look for my itch page haha.)

Submitted(+1)

The story was interesting, I just would have wished we had a bit more choice what to say or do. Curious who was on the other end of that talk.

Developer(+1)

Thx thx! Would def love to do some choices matter stuff next time round.

Submitted(+1)

Fun and creepy! Love how you play with the concept of not knowing who's really on the other side of the screen.

Developer

YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN IP-GRABBED.

i really enjoyed the writing! great job on this!

Developer

thank you. <3

Submitted(+1)

touching grass really do change people :/

I really liked this. You struck a great balance between funny chat and genuinely unsettling spooks. Looks great, and the music rules. Also, super clever way to do the credits.

Developer(+1)

The credit was Loaf's idea! I was like "waaaw, yeah we gotta do that."

Submitted(+1)

That was a fun short game. I love the presentation :D It would be great if there were more variety of disturbing images though. Overall i had fun with it, really nice work!

Developer(+1)

Ran out of visual budgets there lol. Spent it all on Short Dallas’s pfp.

Submitted(+1)

I always liked the chat interaction horror type game! Really enjoyed the game and great work dev ! Nailed it

Developer(+1)

Ayyy thx a ton! Gotta give huge dubs to Loaf for getting the actual gameplay together.

Submitted

I thought turning off the PC was a game mechanic and had to restart xd
Was a fun read presented in an interesting/relatable format. I also really liked the music and sound!

Developer

You got bamboozled!

...and thanks for playing. Really glad you liked my wonky music.

Submitted

Disturbing.

Developer

Amen.

Submitted

I like the idea of a discord or chat horror game, worth checking out. Nice work

Developer

I'm certain that if the idea were built on properly it shall be one of the most game of all time.

Submitted (1 edit)

I got a problem, I have no idea what to do. I opened up the game, heard a song (Which is really good btw). but thats about it. I clicked on everything but nothing seems to happen.

I really want to play this game since it looks awesome. I hope your game isn't broken or anything.
(And don't worry, I wont rate it untill I actually played it)

Developer

Hey, you're supposed to click the arrow on the blue “view newer messages” bar. Should’ve made that clearer haha.

Thx for giving the game a shot.

Submitted(+1)

Thank you! Now I got to play the full game, here is my review.
I really like it, The art, the concept (And the music is still fire). Writing is good, with little easter eggs in the dialogue, or like how the player makes spelling mistakes and corrects himself after. And overall just a really fun game.

The game does however lack gameplay, since its mostly just reading. I don't mind this at all, since I really enjoy games like this, but I know that a lot of people would want more gameplay, so thats my tip for your next game. Had a lot of fun playing this!

Great game, Keep it up♥

Developer(+1)

tyty! Yeah, we initially wanted to add more clickity-clackity but ran out of time. Jams do be like that.

Submitted(+1)

Nice Game I enjoyed it

Developer

THX A TON!
