Well, that's officially made my morning x3 Thank you so much for your kind words! I woke up to see that and just felt really honoured to get a comment like that.
I'm a big fan of fake computers in games too, haha. That and the phone were the most anxiety-inducing parts of the game for me because I've never tried to code anything like that before. It was my first attempt at making sorta gameplay elements that weren't just typical visual novel story stuff. I was really worried that I wouldn't be capable of executing the ideas with my limited knowledge >.< But it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be! Largely thanks to LPB's awesome artwork because having such amazing assets made everything quite smooth to implement and a hell of a lot easier to envision.
Everyone worked crazy hard on this, to the point that I feel kinda bad for dragging them into my madness xD Especially LPB, because when I discussed the idea with her, I feel like most artists would have told me to fuck off considering the sheer amount of art assets required, haha. But nope, she was just as up for the challenge as I was!
I mean, I'm unemployed at the moment cos of my crappy mental health >.< So aside from doing housework and such, I can afford to spend 15 hour days working on stuff like this, but the rest of the team all had work/school/college/uni. It's just incredible that they all managed to do as much as they did while having those other commitments. And on top of that, they were so supportive with cheering me on as well :3 I couldn't have wished for a lovelier bunch of people to team up with!
I'm so glad you ended up enjoying it :3 And thank you so much for taking the time to play it!
I reckon your game is still the creepiest one I've played so far, hehe. I kinda wish I had managed to get the same sorta level of disturbing into Limbo Line, but it's not even close compared to The Housemate >.< I just really wanted to try my hand at comedy writing while keeping psychological horror in the mix, but I feel like I probably went too far with the comedy and the horror was a little lost in the end, making it more along the lines of comedy x mystery maybe >.< I tried to make certain moments disturbing, but they just don't have that same oomph that you guys have in yours with those really creepy moments!
Like the lights going out and the superbly timed thunder sfx! And those glitchy, freaky expression changes were just *chef's kiss*, haha. Loved em! You guys have definitely inspired me when it comes to properly creepy horror!
