How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
It's a silly little game about using a time machine to break the laws of reality, then calling tech support to try and put them back together again.

As mentioned by others, it needs keypad input. Short but fun story.

Developer

Thank you!

I enjoyed the humor and I think you did a good job with the writing! The shader was a nice touch too.

Developer

Aw, thanks so much! And glad someone noticed the shader ;)

I see you're a huge fan of The Stanley Parable. This is a very nice game for those who enjoy this type. Plus the humor and story is very entertaining, and quite convincing when using big scientific words haha.

I can very much see this conversation being in the series Loki, as a time agents call center, giving technical and temporal support XD I cant get enough of it !

My on and only suggestion, is reading the phone numbers from the Numbad or the keyboard in general, as clicking is a bit slow for long numbers.

And at the end it said to enter "1800-Paradox" but i dont know how to do that, since there is no letters in that keyboard.

Other than that, i really enjoyed the story, cant wait for a bigger version :3

You're not gonna believe this but I've never actually played the Stanley Parable - but if it wasn't on my list before, it certainly is now! Glad you enjoyed what there is, it's absolutely something I'm going to keep working on (for a little bit, at least!)

it doesn't work properly, I don't quite understand where it becomes funny and the relation with the theme.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Could I ask specifically what is/isn't coming across from the writing? Always appreciate an outside perspective on this sort of thing :)

I think the game is too big? I only see part of the screen.

Developer

Oh yeah, some people have been having issues with that - gonna try and patch it as soon as I can, but in the meantime apparently you can put your cursor outside of the game and press CTRL + roll your mouse wheel to zoom?

alright thanks

I really like the idea for a hotline for paradoxes, it's a great use of the theme and object. It's a neat little game, my only suggestion is that allow for keyboard input since that's much more natural than using the on-screen number pad. Good job!

The game fun, the answers were silly, but I didn't understand why the call was happening until after it was done. (Could be because I'm dumb).  The game seems to have more to do with time than realities, but it was fun and sounded and looked great.

How does one play? The game loaded, a screen popped up, and I hear music, but that's it.

Developer

Just updated the description to include some controls+hints - hopefully that helps!
