This was a great concept that kept me trying over and again. I managed to get into the knowledge base entry and read what was there, but kept on through impending dooms. Really good.
Excellent. Great presentation and so many crucial touches to streamline and make interesting the necessary repetitions.
I loved that knowledge base idea, so cool! Your world-building and sense of suspense was great. Nice work!
I really enjoyed this one, it produced many a chuckle. The only thing is I wish I could have used the knowledge database but it never produced any results. Is it still being implemented?
Thanks :) The knowledge base works, but I implemented it five hours before deadline, so there are very few entries 😬
Fair enough, I'll give it another play and try my luck :) Let me know what you think of my entry if you've got a minute.
I enjoyed it - but I don't know whether there's an ending I've not got, or it just continues in a loop once you've worked out what's going on. Could only find one word recognised by the knowledge base, maybe that's it? (Don't want to say more to indicate what occurred in case I spoil it!) I *think* I've tried all the possible options everywhere else, including the phone conversation.
Yeah, the "good ending" (which, in what seemed like a better idea at the time, is more of an arbitrary end where the game just stops prompting you) is locked behind a knowledge base entry. Let's just say it's a four-character identifier :)
I struggled a little bit in the end with the phone conversation but overall it was a great experience. Great writing too!
Thank you! :) Yeah, that conversation ended up a little too unforgiving / poorly signposted ^^;
