Really enjoyed this game! The writing is great, it sends a good message, and I was thoroughly entertained by all the bear puns! The art work is super good, loved the backgrounds and the design of Salmon and Bumble. The humor didn't seem out of place with the rest of the game, and you managed to balance both the serious and funny moments! Overall, would love an expansion on the game! 


My only feedback would have been to have the messages between Salmon and Bumble be displayed on the messaging app itself. It was somewhat of a disconnect having to look at blank messages on the computer screen and realizing that the chat dialogue was on the same panel as the dialogue in the other parts of the story. Additionally, the bear noises were pretty loud on my end and I almost got jumpscared at the splash screen :D. It could be toned down to be less jarring with the music (though I get why it was there).

Other than that, excellent job Team Bear!

Thank you for your kind words!

When we were working on the script I was inspired by a quote I heard somewhere: "Sometimes I write a million funny lines just to make the sad lines sink." (that quote is heavily paraphrased, I don't remember the original) That was sort of the goal of the mixture of funny/serious - we tried to getcha to let your guard down. 

And yeah about the messaging system - the original idea was to have the computer be a fully interactable, fake operating system, but we couldn't really figure out a good way to implement that in the programming sooo... Yeah. I'm not happy with the solution we came up with, but I'm glad we at least got the story working.

And sound mixing was also cut for time - we'll try to improve that in an update. (there's a really funny easter egg sound effect during the section where Salmon is gaming, but it's unfortunately a little too quiet for most people to hear)
