This Game was very interesting. It reminds me a bit of old RPG Maker Horror games y'know e.g. Yume Nikki.

I really liked the concept and most messages by the Ai were easy to understand with a bit of thinking ^^ (except the one "Paper X Octagon" I just pressed random levers there haha)

Nice job! I like the icons the bot uses. Really fun to play.

nice game IMO, managed to get into the drone area in a couple of minutes. maybe the speed of the drones could be lowered a bit. lovely animations - want more

Pretty cool game - I don't know about the other comments but the game instructions were very understandable. The thumbs down emoji was a bit confusing in the second level because at first i thought I did something wrong (it's supposed to tell you to move down). Also the noise level of the drone enemy is pretty damn loud and overtones the noise of the phone sound cue. I really like the game though - some background music would give the game a much more relaxing atmosphere and make it a lot less "scary" or "uncanny". Cool entry regardless! I see a lot of potential in the idea.

The first run made me nervous, I admit it  😂😂😂
At the second i arrived at the level where the drones come out! Too hard for me 😅

In short:
🟢Nice pixel art! Need more props!
🟡 too dark ➡ do light/color correction
🟡 Some emojis are not understood immediately ➡ It would be better to a slower progression (more levels) to understand how the robot communicates

In overall, good entry!

I must say puzzles and dark rooms are not a good combination. Would have loved to just solve the emoji based puzzles but I gave up at the second one after minutes of not even finding where the puzzle is really.

cool take on the challenge, would have made more sense if you had a little story intro telling you what was going on - was confused on the purpose/who was who what was what

Honestly, I got confused and don't really understand what exactly to do in the beginning but... HECK THE VISUALS, SOUNDS AND CREATIVE CONCEPT. It's amazing. I still don't understand what to do after pulling the levers though... so it wasn't really fun...
