This is a cool concept and I was really intrigued by the different ways to interact and find information.
Though I must say that this game was too smart for me. I really needed the hints and I’m grateful you provided them. :D
This was a really interesting one, telling the story/presenting information through the thumbnails is really clever - like a hypertext but without all the clicking back and forth.
(and yeah, more puzzles plz)
This was great! Super fun and original way of presenting layers of narrative/information
I feel like I must be missing something, but I only ever made it to the not-the-worst ending.
SPOILERS:
- After getting into deep mode, I'd constantly be put on the waitlist, no matter when I entered deep mode (and generated a profile). I thought maybe I'd try using up more authentication tries and that would change the outcome, but I got the same few generated profiles.
- I wondered if I had to find something in deep mode before the error was generated, but I didn't get enough feedback that that was necessarily the right path, and maybe I was just trying to make up a goal for myself in the puzzle - the "you failed, try again" text gave me hints to get to deep mode, which I'd already found, so I ran out of ideas there and stopped.
Still, it's very intriguing and I'm sure there's more to it from the comments below. The evolving tooltips that I DID find cranked up my curiosity and my need-to-explore reflex like crazy before I ran up against the not-the-worst ending a few times.
thanks for the feedback! the way to get the true ending is very obscure and difficult to trigger (though Studio Hazy below figured it out!) - there's a pretty big hint if you hover over the deep mode (waitlist) ending. SPOILER: it involves entering a code in the deep mode "data" tooltip.
A lot of fun, with plenty of hidden depth. Extra points for being topical too!
More puzzles please!
Really interesting. I don't quiiiite know what I'm doing here but I did manage to get the 'good, not secret' ending~
Very original and unusual! Super clever storytelling method and it's very smoothly implemented as well. Amusing as a toy, but doesn't really work as a game--there's no real way to know what to do or how one might progress besides the explicit instructions you give on the game over screen.
I love the originality of the user interface/play. Slick, unique. I haven't yet figured out what's happening and have gotten the Game Over screen a few times pretty quickly. But I'll circle back to this and try again later.
This was super weird and I definitely didn't "get" it or get very far (I think, it was hard to tell!) but it was very original and unlike anything else I've seen in Ink
This is absolutely mad, I love it.
this was so interesting!! a really interesting use of ink and pop-ups. took me ages to figure out how to enter deep mode haha
This is great! I'm not very sure why and I only maybe only half-understood it, but it is a very creative and engaging use of ink.
