I like how you made it a game show!  Kind of dark and creepy overall good job.

I really like the concept. You nailed it on the atmosphere. At least on the first gameplay. I did play a second time to see if there are something different. Overall, it's a nice game. Good job!

The twist was awesome! Really well done on this, you hit the creepy aspect really well!

I love the music and the twist! Nice game.

A compelling game with an unexpected twist, great visuals, and sound that keeps you engaged. The mix of simple and tricky questions adds a unique charm, though a clearer ending would enhance the experience. Overall, a memorable and enjoyable game with lots of potentials. Great work!

A simple game and an interesting plot twist at the end! That caught me off guard for sure!

Good job though!

Nice graphics, sounds and music, my respects, the idea itself is also very good, I enjoyed playing, great job!

The ending was a huge shock, plus I like the way you implemented the credits. Would have been great to have a way to retry the levels though. I'm torn on the difficulties of the questions, on one hand, some more challenging questions as the game progressed would have been fun, but on the other hand these simple questions feel like the kind your daughter would play in kindergarten which give the game a sort of psychological horror vibe. Really cool!

I really like the atmosphere and music. I played it twice to see if I could change the outcome. With the basic kindergarten styled questions, the ending definitely surprised me. This was very interesting. I think some more scary type questions that lead up towards the end could definitely add to the experience.

Nice idea. I would be curious which of the answers was the correct one (and why) when you miss an answer.

Atmosphere and visuals are great.

When the question about color came up I got interested, I was thinking it was going to become a more surreal experience of trying to please an insane show host or something. Then the next question about apples reinforced that idea by being simple and wrong lol.

And then the game was over, pretty much right as you piqued my interest!

The ending was a bit shocking, kudos for that. But then I wasn’t clear that the game had ended. Had to come here to the feedback to see that I could turn around.

I think a better ending might have been to attach the camera to the guy in the chair so that he’d be looking at the audience, then fade in credits after the kill. Or at least, something to clearly indicate that the game was over.

Neat idea!

very cool game, I didn't think to do this type of a game. The theme is very well fitting, and I flinged a bit when I saw the guy on the chair

The game was overal interesting. I would like to have a full version.

Short, cool, got 100 bucks and most importantly I have one less mouth to feed. That's the definition of happiness!

But seriously now. I enjoyed everything but 2 things and it's ending. After let's say you pay for the participation you could somehow tell the player that he now can move his mouse. You showed that after player chosoes the ABC or D opion they don't need to move their mouse but after the shot I didn't know what to do until I moved the mouse. The second thing is you need to press magic combo alt + f4 to close the game. Honestly, it's cheap and ruins immersion. There could be instead a door that player character walks through to end the game. That's my 2 problems with your game but notheless I enjoyed it a lot. But keep in mind it has some problems.

I loved the fact this felt like a show competing, first i was really having fun then when the poor dude came in, boy that was great to see xD, loved it!

The end! 😂

nice and fun!

really like the background music, something hidden behind the player ;)

just need to add more questions and timing!

Submitted(+1)

Okay, this was actually really cool! I LOVEEE the atmosphere! It felt like I was kidnapped and locked up in this dungeon where I had to answer questions for my life rather than money haha! I loved the music that you added as well cuz it added this whole new dimension to it. Usually "creepy" games will have "creepy" music, but this had that classic game show music. Pairing that with the theme and visuals, it created an unsettling atmosphere which I love!
I would love to play a longer version of this game! hopefully that's part of your plans? haha

The environment is bit dark, couldn’t see well the left door, but it wasn’t a requirement for playing. The concept is nice, but it could use a bit more questions. Maybe if you are going for a scary show (I say this because of the end), you could add a short timer to the questions to make it more unsettling.

Yknow what? That's a good idea to add a timer, I'll keep that in mind if I go back to make things longer. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! :D
