Is this game supposed to send me back to the menu when I get to the end of a conversation? I wasn't sure what happened so I went to Extras and it had another conversation. But then after that going to extras went through the original conversation so I exited after saving.
I can see someone mentioned multiple endings here but it wasn't clear what happened when I got sent to the menu; is that part of the game?
For reference, I downloaded the Directors cut for Windows. It's labelled Potato version or something in the files, which is funny because my computer took like 10 minutes to extract the game even though I have super fast internet (apparently). Certainly felt like a potato in the moment. XD
Glad you've been enjoying it so far :3 You'll know when you actually reach an ending cos the game will tell you that you've got X end. Until then, unfortunately, you will have to keep getting sent back and drip fed additions to the dialogue x3 It's more noticeable with fem voice because a lot of the repeating lines have different voice delivery!
It was an experimental concept because of the limitations of the jam, haha. They basically said that if you repeat blocks of text by recalling them through code, they won't count towards the 1000 word limit of the jam. After writing the script, I realised that you could rearrange many of the lines and they still made sense in different sentences/order, so each time you start over after being kicked to the menu, you're basically getting a different version of the script, and even if a lot of lines are the same, they'll mostly be in a different order, and there will always be a few that are completely new :3
I did wonder if people might make the assumption it was repeating in its entirety (even though it isn't at any point x3) and whether that would make it more intriguing as they question their memory, or if it might just become tedious! >.<
From what feedback I've had so far, some people love it, and some people hate it xD
One person who streamed it actually assumed the entire game was over upon getting sent back to the title screen for the first time, and proceeded to tab out and close the game without clicking on the menu to find that something was amiss T_T haha.
xD Sounds like the file gave you the potato curse! It's named that cos the original non-potato versions used video sprites & backgrounds, and I made a potato version that has static sprites instead cos my own potato laptop couldn't handle the video files when I tried it on there x3 In the end though, there were too many issues with the video sprites causing freeze ups, so I just removed those video versions entirely!
Lol that's funny about the person streaming it. I bet the chat were screaming at them.
Lol I have memory issues so I question my memory a lot, maybe that's why I tried out the second run then saved and eyed my computer suspiciously. XD
Yes, curse of the potato hostage. I predict the ending is him taking off a blindfold and showing you a mirror and you're just a blushing potato. I'm right, aren't I?
Oh, and I should've said, if you like the masc voice, you can hear the same VA in the spooktober jam project we teamed up on and released last weekend, the one called Tunnel Vision. Philip also plays a main character in that and does a smashing job of it :D Well, Emilie who plays the fem voice in this is also in Tunnel Vision too!
