Buddy must have really wanted that milk! Good game. As others have pointed out it needs a bit more polishing, but overall I still enjoyed it. Great work!

A fun experience! The game seems to point of several endings, but I could only get the one where the store clerk gets you, not sure if this was a bug or if the other endings were not implemented.

Other than that,  and the fact that the store clerk was missing some animations, I had a good time! That shopping list is something I would buy on a weekly basis lol

Good work!

Interesting game. The overall concept is fun, and I can’t say that I can think of another game with a killer robot cashier. I like the use of upbeat chase music, as it reminds me of old Italian horror movies.

There were a few bugs that I noticed:

  • If you escape the cashier, some of the names of intractable objects get messed up.
  • There doesn’t seem to be an actual ending for if you escape the cashier, with your only option being to walk back to him and get caught.
  • When you are getting chased, the cashier’s walking animations don’t activate.
  • The cashier’s walking animations get a bit odd in general if you watch him while he goes into the back.
  •  

My main suggestions would be to try to get/make assets that match in style a bit more (the cashier is a bit jarring) and try to flesh out the world a bit more outside of the store a bit more (even if it’s just a thick forest or brick wall, it’s better than staring into the void). Fleshing out the store with some extra decorative objects and/or flavour text would also help out a bit.

Good job!

I demand to speak with this guy's manager, but then again, it looks like they replaced this store's staff with robots. Fancy not having milk at the mart! Shameful! At least I got some of that soda though! I thought this was a funny game with a cheeky scare once things end up in the back room. Good work!

Thank you for playing our game. We know it's super buggy and we didn't have time to change the mannequin hahaha.

I got to the end 2, for me it was also missing the milk and I think I'll leave without paying lol

PS: I saw that your project has a problem with V-Sync "those lines that cross the screen" do the following, in the game folder, in config, find the file "DefaultEngine.ini" open it with notepad, find the "rendering" section and include the following code at the end: r.Vsync=1

Otherwise I found it fun, despite being very short

Thanks for the tip. And thanks for playing the game. It's rushed and rough but we had fun making it.

I liked shopping ! i was confused when the lights went out and wasnt sure if i was doing the right things. But it was enjoyable for the time i spent playing it.

Hey! Thanks for checking out my game, it would be good to have a basic screen telling the key binds I think, I was confused a bit as I thought clicking the mouse button should be good enough, turn out you need to press E to interact :D

I'm not sure if the milk can be bought. After getting chased I tried to reach the car but could not do anything with it.

It would be good to have a bit more hint!
