Definitely saw what you were going for with it! Makes me wonder about experimenting with lynchian horror myself one day

This was so confusing at first and I really worried about your mental health during my playthrought. After that I saw a comment talking about rabbits and I understood what you were doing with this game.

It's an interesting approach.

Dang, never thought I'd get to be the laugh track in Rabbits! Very interesting stuff, though it did test the limits of my unfortunately short attention span. Regardless, I enjoyed this experience, and you've kind of inspired me to try and adapt some more Lynchian influences into my own work. Excellent job!

I couldn't seem to get the game to really "Start" I'm just stuck at the beginning zooming in and out of the TV.

Might be because I'm running on linux through Wine.  Bummer, I really like your submission back in October and was excited to play through this one.

Brilliant and fascinating satire of Rabbits that deconstructs the uneasy relationship between the audience, actor, and medium through a surrealistic fever dream. The uncanny, dithered screen, the atmospheric music and the disjointed, disaffected voice acting creates a perfect iteration of its Lynchian inspirations. From what I can tell there was some experimentation with randomisation or generative approaches to the 'shows' which made them feel even more offbeat and unusual. The inclusion of multiple endings oriented around the player as judge reinforce the idea of the characters as puppets in a nightmare play. The writing was excellent for a surrealistic imitation of Rabbits and found a good balance imitating its dismal and routine dialogue with the beats of existential dread. I think in terms of feedback, whilst putting aside the fact some players will not quite understand what this is going for, the relationship between passive and active player roles could have been explored a little more to keep the player involved in the show of Dogs and the outside world. But then again, the game seems to relish in asking who the captive is - the actors awaiting their fate, or the player doomed to laugh and applause on command? 

Thanks for being a part of the Scream TV jam!

Interesting, very art house. I think the story of the game was difficult to follow, but I also think that was the point. I think the sound design in this was spectacular, hearing the dog enter the room and bark behind me was very effective at rising tension, as was the ambient roar that grew in volume.

The voice acting was on point as well, all the actors did stellar.

The mechanics of having to interact the correct way didn't feel particularly engaging, but maybe then that was also intentional? I did like how it played out when I interacted incorrectly or not fast enough.

I agree with Last Minute games that the sections did feel long, but I also feel like it worked to the game's themes, which I think were about feeling confused, lost, uncertain.

Decent game, thanks for your efforts.

I loved the art style of the game! The lighting, the bloom, and the art were really well done. I did feel as though the game droned on for quite a bit though, it felt like Lady in particular wouldn't stop yapping. It could be that I personally was impatient, but it could have been that they talked quite slow which made conversations last a longer time than they needed to.

Overall though, I really enjoyed the game! It was a cool premise I haven't seen before and honestly would love a full release of a game like this! Great work!
