How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Our game takes the theme The Error is the Feature and makes it the heart of the story. The whole adventure starts with a mistake: the protagonist thinks they’ve bought a normal storage locker, but instead they stumble into a parking garage that never ends. Inside, this theme continues. Everything is just... off. The things we find, people we meet, and all the junk we have to scavenge in between have an air of weirdness to them.

I like the art and overall setting, but I don’t think the game matches the jam theme—maybe I just don’t get it. Also, the browser version won’t start for me, and on Windows, sometimes after interacting with an NPC, the game stops responding to any other clicks, so I wasn’t able to beat it. I would like to see a post-game polished update that fixes these issues, because I found the story interesting, but it’s up to you.

Great art! And yes, beginning text is to fast, but game still great!

Thank you! If you'd like to watch the beginning text scroll again, it is linked as a YouTube video on the page.

The art and sound are beautiful. Maybe I'm a slow reader, but I felt like the beginning text scrolled a little quickly for me to keep up. I had to restart and read it again. I love the story. The character dialogue is nicely done. Very well organized and polished. I love the square D circuit breakers in the electrical panel. I played for about 30 minutes, but I got a little lost and couldn't figure out some of the puzzle, but overall I felt like you all did an excellent job. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your comment! We put a lot of effort into the game, so it means so much to get that kind of feedback!
