It was a really great game with an awesome art style and storyline.

Well done, you did an amazing job!

Up front, I did not finish the entirety of the story, but, for the first two nights worth that I did play, I thought the game’s writing and presentation were very nicely done. Some sound would have definitely helped elevate this entry a little more, but the story (as much as I was able to get through) seems pretty good.

If you’re interested, here’s a link to my stream of this game, and the horror that is my voice.

Thanks for playing! As a visual novel it certainly wasn't made to play well on stream, so I appreciate the effort you went into reading out even that first section :D

...ok, you win, this is the scariest submission to the jam. Can we go back to fucked up masses of flesh and eyes, please? You know, something comforting.

Developer(+1)

Haha, right? Nothing scarier than something that feels all too possible. Thanks for playing!

Really makes one cynical at the world around, huh. But glad there is still people who get it. Great story, great art, great work guys.

Thanks so much for playing! There's room to be cynical, but all the great art I see every day (including in jams like this) make me hopeful.

I've actually never read a visual novel before and I'm glad that this was my first experience. It's much longer than the other games, but you earned the length by keeping everything interesting and making me want to see what happened next! I kind of guessed the twist based on the name of the game, but that did nothing to take away my enjoyment of the writing and how everything unfolded. Like a wonderful mix of 1984, the matrix and Her. Fantastic entry (and I haven't even spoke about the awesome visuals and execution of the storytelling!).

Thanks so much for your feedback, I'm so glad you enjoyed playing and that the story worked for you!

This was a very long game; it took me over 20 minutes for me to finish it! But I really enjoyed the story and how it felt like an episode of "Black Mirror." =O 

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! I was definitely aiming for a Black Mirror vibe, so I'm glad that came across :)

Well made story, nice job, really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for playing!
