This is super cool dude! The pasting images was very finicky, but I overall enjoyed this. Great game :)

elitestratmanSubmitted4 years ago

cool idea, though I have no idea how to progress past the first emailed image

Copy the image and paste it into the game, if it doesn't work, try refreshing the game or opening it directly:)

This is great concept, ive got some blank screens and some broken links, maybe is intentional but i see where you want to go with this and it is great =)

Thank you :)! First broken link on the chatrooms should be intentional, the characters in the chatroom should comment on it, telling you to just keep scrolling through the chatrooms until you find something

Jeff RamosSubmitted4 years ago

I tried to look for something on the source code, I just not good at this. But this is great =) hope you continue this project

https://message.htmlhat.com/chat.php?c=343034 should be contain the link that you need to access to progress, I really appreciate your words! I want to make something proper in the future, hopefully with a story. Thank you for playing it

we are all developers here, I work on the game industry and I'm receiving more support here with my prototypes than there, we should all help each other and a good start is to give constructive feedbacks and support, Ill gonna give another goo tomorrow when i get back on my PC

Really unique game! Loved the escape game mood in this, it was done smoothly.

Fits the theme in a unique way - which make it fits the theme even more. Good job!

Wow that was... something. I honestly found that super cool and interesting. I got to the chat where you said you need sleep, but the discord link isn't working. If there's more then I would love to keep going when it is fixed!

Haha! Thank you! The Discord link is fixed now, you can go back or honestly just use the link here

Thank you, I had to start over on incognito because I didn't remember the number, but I got to the end. I don't know why, but this scavenger hunt through the internet idea is fascinating and it would be so cool to see a longer version of this. I almost want to try making something like this myself except I have no idea how you make any of this even work. Super cool entry, had a great time.

Submitted
