Some assets not by me and I used code from prior projects

The idea is awasome, a game about playing a game! Reading the forum posts was really fun. Although the loading times are strangely long, and sometimes (usually when going through the right door in the corridor area), the game simply freezes.

Very nice concept, I liked all the interactions in the room, the puzzle was interesting but I couldnt manage to activate the cheat codes and sometimes the game would crash when going through a door

I originally played this game as i saw you had a hat in time pfp of one of my fav characters and I thought i would like your game and i did!

I love all the cheat codes and the phone number and the forums reminds me of when i was trying to figure out how to beat mario for the ds.

The game did freeze a lot but im gonna assume that was because of the engine.

Great game.

would you mind rating mine?

Holy crap. The game-within-a-game reveal moment. Calling a customer support phone number to get help on the game. Freaking cheat codes! I don't even care if there are bugs or issues with this, it's just incredible. Hands down the absolute most I've laughed at a game in recent memory. Keep up the great work please, you're awesome at this.

Very cool game idea! I loved the forum it was pretty funny. Sadly i didn't manage to beat the game, it kept freezing after i tried to leave the first room in the game
