Hey bullfrog!
WOW! Just wow. That was a really really cool experience. I saw you posting updates in the Discord and was like "oh man, that is one I have to try". I was absolutely not wrong either. This is definitely a must-try game from the Jam -- really great job.
A couple notes after playing (nothing huge, just nitpicky stuff I noticed):
- The main menu sound (even though you aren't supposed to be there that long) had a noticeable fade both in and out. Not a huge deal and probably nobody else noticed I was just doing something and heard it happen before I clicked in.
- There were a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors but honestly they aren't even a huge deal because they were in the emails and could easily be written off as that character doing that
What I liked:
- This truly was an experience. It brought me back to watching playthroughs of Welcome to the Game and I loved every second of it. The moment the computer rebooted and told me to turn around I about had a hear attack
- The interface of the computer is truly amazing! This is what I was hoping to achieve for one aspect of my game, but clearly it can become a whole game in and of itself. Truly amazing work with the styling, sound of the keyboard clacking, mouse clicking, windows, icons... all of it.
- Obviously the cat photos hidden in the private folder and a gold star :)
- The sound design was phenomenal. I already mentioned all the computer stuff, but the atmosphere of the rain outside, the fans whirring on the computer, the hum of the crt, and ESPECIALLY that fantastic windows 95 booting sound -- made me want to go listen to some Blank Banshee and Brian Eno
Really fantastic experience and I hope you continue to develop it! Looking forward to any future projects as well!
