Short description of the game
A slightly unnerving game on technological violence induced by pseudosimplicity and increasingly awful UI.

This game is part of the European Permacomputing Gamejam. It's an attempt to reflect on fear, panic and stress induced by basic UI made increasingly harder to use because of the capitalistic framework internet is subject off (pseudosimplicity). We want to highlight how easily one can become isolated because of these complexities, and how fast it can happen , making all of us subjects of technological violence.

The title is an hommage to the recent events regarding the hacking of Internet Archive 💔 ·

Developer

thank you!!  ☜(⌒▽⌒)☞

Two bugs I want to report:

  1. During the drawing segments, the person I wanted to call repeated their message... twice!
  2. Clicking the "Try Again" button at the end of the game doesn't reset the texting "cutscene" nor the drawing segment.

Hey!

Thanks for reporting, we are aware of the repeating messages, but we didn't know about the parts not resetting, we'll look into it, thanks!


Developer(+1)

we found a way to fix the repeating messages (and prompted users to reload the web page at the end to start the game again) thanks again! :)
