This was so fun to play, what an interesting concept! The visuals to it is great too!
Loved the soundeffects and cables go brrrrrr
Thanks koekwous, you never fail to amaze me.
There's not much "game", as also said in the description, but the concept is fascinating, you should definitely expand the idea. I like the framing from inside the television, it could have potential maybe as a reversed horror game, where the player tries to mess with the bingewatcher.
awesome concept! I'd like to see what, if anything, you do with it in the future
This concept has potential
Tough game. In a good way. And a bit meta too!
We loved the concept of controlling what happens behind the television and the sound design really nails it in, little clicks for the cable and the grunting are so good! Art-wise it looks somewhat blurred due to anti-aliasing but it`s an easy fix.
Would love to see this concept go further and expand more and more!

Thanks for your feedback!
This game challenges not only you as a player - to connect the correct wires and entertain this ghostly figure before the frustration of the antagonist takes over - but also the status quo of the current media entertainment state. After having played this piece, one can only ponder the idea and message of the content of the so called 'TV' you, as the player, are managing. Is the game ever over? Can we truly 'win' in entertainment, or is the mere passage of time during our enjoyment the ultimate award? If so, what do we want to show on this 'TV'? Also, will we too, as people, get frustrated to the point of losing the game if our (clearly not-so-bottemless) supply of media is exhausted?
The entire foundation of my understanding of a 'game' is completely transformed.
Thank you producers.
