This is a very polished survival horror game that was a blast to play. The idea is a fun subversion of the "meet the parents" situation; I loved the deep web lore thrown in there for the hell of it. There was a lot of flavor to the design of the house and gory scenes that made exploration interesting, uncovering new parts of the building. The 'blink' mechanic is nothing new but I like how abruptly you're drawn from exploring to finding a place to run or hide - it definitely kept me on my toes!
We thought it deserved to be one of the 'Host's Choices' for this jam. Thanks so much for submitting your game!

This game is kinda wild, I didn't really understand it at first but ended up loving it more and more as I played! Great job guys!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

TOPIC: Refund for EMULATOR (COMPLAINT ID# 34023)
Hi. I am a consumer of Happy Palace deep web services and purchased your product 'EMULATOR' three weeks ago, and was looking for a refund. Basically I was expecting the product to be an all-in-one software console emulator, but when I put the installer CD in my computer, the disk launched software that compromised my computer and basically made static appear on my screen. Concerned by this, I took the computer to a repair shop that day for a recovery, but I haven't heard back from them yet. Unfortunately, the store recently had an incident, so I'm not able to return the product. Apparently the staff were found dead - stabbed, apparently - and my computer self-combusted in some sort of electrical fire. Notwithstanding this bizarre occurrence I believe your product is maliciously designed to attack and destroy user software and if a $200 refund is not given I will see you in court to repay costs for my computer. Thanks.
Love this!
Yup Still super freaky. Great Job on your game guys.
Thanks man! I loved playing yours and finding the dancing disco skeleton haha.
I'm already working on making it how its really meant to be. This project has just been too fun.
