A potty joke gone too far here). There's not much of gameplay (whish is sad, I'd love to play this kind of story, do the plumb-programming work all whole and up the sleeve). Lots of lyrics around the AI WC idea, I get you though, the idea is fun, maybe needs a little change of course in narrative approach. Thanks for the game (nice Easter Eggs there;).

Thank you for your feedback ! We do agree and we have already planned to manage the dialogues and put more interactions. We will finish the game during the next months

Great style and funny storytelling. I didn't run into any game breaking bugs or glitches in my playthrough. Beside some incorrect translations and missing audio this was a fun and very unique experience. Well done!

Thanks a lot for your feedback ! We are going to fix the main issue concerning the translation

Unfortunately the game glitched out on me quite often to the point where I was unable to progress anywhere 😔

Developer

Hi and sorry about that… Could you please give some details on the discord server about your PC setting or specific glitch We will try to fix this in few days.

The game keeps freezing at the start for me :(, I was playing the working version on english fullscreen. If you have a fix tell me and I can play it (But likely not on stream like I was planning too)

Developer

Hi, Do you have the start menu at least ? It might be a language problem if not in EN FR or SP on your Windows setting An other hypothesis could be that you have a particular device. I contacted you in discord we could try to resolve the issue.

This is probably the wildest setting for a game I've come across this jam. "Incredible adventure" indeed. :)


It would be nice if the items in the inventory get descriptions. I'm not sure if I filled the mug with coffee (and you just didn't have time to do a second sprite) or if I didn't fill the mug at all.

If you are planning to publish the finished product in English, you might want to get a human translator involved. DeepL is very good, but it obviously had its problems with this more outlandish scenario. I got a bit lost during the intro because some things were hard to follow. I'm pretty sure a lot of the humour was also lost in translation.
A lot of the hotspots were also incorrect. The sink became a "watering hole" and one of the buttons simply said "DOGS". I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed that it took me back to the bathroom and not to a secret dog den. ;)

Nice selection of models. The bathroom looks good. So it's kind of the opposite of a public toilet. Which is a good thing. A VERY good thing indeed. I can't even begin to imagine where all this is heading. I don't know if it will be for me, because I don't care for "toilet humour". But maybe that's not (entirely) the direction you want to go in anyway. Either way, it's definitely unique. Good luck with finishing the last 90%. :)

Thank you very much for your comment !

For our 1st jam we had lot of little difficulties, so lot of planned features were not appropriately set for the deadline…

We do agree with the translation point ! We started in French and did not have time for an appropriate and smart translation with the humour’s spirit… But for sure we will do so in the next mounths (with wording corrections as well!)

As you can imagine it is more a story of an incredible absurd situation than raw toilet humour with a short story, but we have only been able to release this at this stage :-)

Thanks again for your positive and encouraging comment we will do our best for a wilder and accomplished setting and fun game !
