Very funny concept! :D I just wonder if it is possible to finish the game, or is the office the last scenario in the game? I tried using "use" and dragging knife on paint, and cassette inside VHS player, but all I got is same reply. Was it intended that the player should stand still in the toilet scenario / cutscene?
No the player should stay put during the cutscenes, and it is one of the many bugs. All rooms have this problem and I discovered this just after submitting the game. So to squash all these bugs and improve the interface I joined another jam, awaiting the results of this jam (and playing as much of the games submitted in this jam).
Somewhere, if allowed I will add a more bugfree release.
And I had planned to add a ‘Wargames’ kind of room where a Matthew Brodderick lookalike kids plays the game with W.O.P.R. where the Star Wars satellite is used in the game and wreaks havoc among all communication sats in low orbit. But I had to cut these due to time constraints and ended up with one room and multiple cutscenes.
Right, then I guessed right that the player should stand still and not interact during cutscene :)
This applies to my game too, as I had too little time to add artworks, content, exploration etc. I considered joining that jam, but I'll pass this time, as I prefer to improve at my steady time :)
I read your devlog and game page. I love intellectually stimulating games, no matter what genre if it is comedy, horror, etc.!
I can imagine that scenario, I'm looking forward to playing your game with less bugs and with more content! Keep up the great work! :)
Presentation and setup are well done, unfortunately I ran into a bug where I couldn't interact with anything shortly after the gameplay started. I believe I broke things by accidently clicking on the mysterious box before doing anything with the loose couch cushion (the name for it popped up even with the cushion obscuring it, which makes me feel like I shouldn't be able to attempt to interact with it yet.)
Yes that happened to me too when I was ‘Testing’. Could not reproduce it then. It has to do with some state that blocks playermovement during some animation. That is brittle, and I will add this to my list of improvements to do. Joined a new jam to do this: https://itch.io/jam/improve-my-game-jam-41
