Great concept and captivating mood from the very start. Graphical style and music fits perfectly.
I got stuck during the first try, and Manuel just kept repeating same phrases over and over. On a second try, I finished the game quite fast by asking pretty much the same questions. There were some server issues during the first run that may have caused problems. Or then I just missed something. Which made me wonder: are there multiple endings?
Some minor usability notes:
- Occasionally Manuel keeps repeating same sentences, and it would be nice to be able to skip them.
- Mouse wheel scrolls the notes-panel in wrong direction and is too slow. Also, I'd like to be able to use keyboard for scrolling.
- I'd like to see a list of all questions I've asked.
This one reminds me of games like "Her Story", but I think the text-based approach has some advantages. Story doesn't have to be so strictly scripted as with videos, and one could use more paths or even procedural generation to create content.
Great job. Think I have to browse your other games now also.
