How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Well from the first scene we made it so things don't work as intended. The start game screen is broken, so the player in our game can not play his video game. After that he sees that he can't really leave his room. Turns out this very bug that prevents him from leaving his room is a feature that will help him leave the room so end the game. By figuring out the many errors in this game, as well as a real bug, the player solves 3 puzzles to modify the start game screen to "work".

Did you work in a team? If so, link their itch profiles.
Worked as a team of 4 but will add their names/profiles to our game dashboard, (can't currently contact them to ask for their urls).

Did you include a fake publisher splash screen at the start of your game?

No

Did you use the Audius API in your game?

No

If AI was used in your game, let us know how you used it.
It was not used in asset creation. We did use it as a tool/guidance to ask questions about our code.

It took me a bit to figure out the key to solving the puzzles (though I was only able to find the E and D). It would be nice if you gave some hint about how to use the fly, since I only discovered its function by accident while pressing several buttons.

It’s a pity you couldn’t add sound, but aside from that, very good work.

This was a challenge! Took me a while to figure out, but it was fun. I wish the characters legs moved while he walked, but the art was very cute.
