A very interesting and unique idea. I enjoyed the gameplay. At first I failed. When I restarted, the input field refused to work. I pressed 0, but ‘5’ would appear.

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, this problem for some reason persists in the HTML5 build, I will try to fix it, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Great look, great idea, great audio, great job!

Developer

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Nice game was pretty interesting to play! impressed that plot might be placed in a phone

Developer

Thanks a lot, I'm really glad that you've enjoyed it!

Concept is great! About issues with text input - at first I thought the typing was glitchy because the phone got wet. It's not a bug it's a feature :D

Developer

Thank you very much! Haven't thought about it this way, but it's a pretty good explanation)

Thank you very much! I was trying to find the serene- and melancholic-sounding sfx and ambience, and I'm glad that you liked it!

Really unique concept! Fun little mystery and puzzle to solve. Well written messages and cool uses of the phone. Good job!

Developer

Thank you, it means a lot!

The atmosphere the game creates is impressive! I managed to finish your game with 2 different endings, I really liked the overall visuals and audio of the game, great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot, I'm really glad that you have enjoyed your time with it!

The visuals and sfx of the game are absolutely stunning. Also liked the concept and atmosphere the game creates.

Developer

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Amazing idea, I really like this kind of storytelling through interacting with somebody's old calendar records and instant messages.
My playthrough ended in Owen being killed, I assume it's one of the bad endings, will try to get to the good one!
One of the minor gripes is that text input (when you have to enter date, for example) is bugged for me, and for some reason sometimes it registers input twice, sometimes doesn't register at all. But since there's a convenient skip button, that wasn't really a problem.

Developer

Thank you very much, I am glad, that you have enjoyed the game! The text inputs issue is something that I am ware of, but wasn't able to fix yet, so added the skip. It's not the best workaround, but at least it makes it possible to actually finish the game. Still, sorry about that, and thanks once again!

Submitted

absolutely loved the concept, and atmosphere - couldn't figure out how to go 'back' from an app which messed up the immersion :'(

Developer

Thank you very much! Are you refering to a specific app or just in general? The mechanical button on the phone's bottom panel will always take you to the home screen. Unless, of course, there is a bug that I am unaware of. If that's the case, I would appreciate if you could describe it.

Submitted

Just in general - it could be that I'm playing on a mac, but I'm not seeing but button to go to the home screen - I'll try on a windows and hopefully it'll be there!

I love the mystery mood, and it's fun to dig on others phone like a prevent. but I got stuck after log in to the email, what should I do next? I couldn't open the pdf in the email

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it! The pdf file is not an interactable object, I have only just now realized that the red color on it looks misleading and may appear as a visual cue, so sorry about that. Endings can be unlocked through various actions, but ultimately you have to dial a number and call it, which will give you the choice, based on what you have unlocked so far. It is not a specific number, it's something that is universally-known.
