How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
In my game, the bugs are the content. Missing walls, infinite loot, broken HP - they’re not failures, they’re features you exploit to progress. The chaos builds as the “dev” tries to trap you forever, but in the end, it’s the very errors that let you escape.

Great game!
Very interesting and fun, reminds me of games like I'm on Observation Duty, but with a twist. Very good implementation of the theme and I felt identified with some bugs.
Unfortunately I couldn't beat the game because of an actual bug (the first time I died, when I clicked the character nothing happened, it showed up the default click character dialogue), but I watched the end of the game on the playthrough video and really liked it; the reactivate bug mechanics is very clever and makes the game not just about finding bugs, now you have to find out which bugs use to scape, really cool.
Also I liked the dialogues, really funny, and the end of the story is great.
Really good job! :D

Thanks! Yeah I record the video because I'm sure there might be bug that break the game😅 thanks for watching the playthrough! Do you remember what kills the character and trigger the bug? Is it the stone or something else?

Submitted

Yeah, it was the stone. I think what happenend is that when I was killed by the stone throwing enemy I could still attack and I killed it (I thought it was the intended bug to find). Maybe killing the enemy triggered the bug? Or maybe other thing triggered it but I didn't noticed anything else

I wasn't able to find any bugs T_T

Ah interesting, I actually went off the wall and then clicked "found it!" and nothing happened and I was wandering in the darkness all alone XD

I'm going to find all the bugs this time!!

great game, you made my game dev experience into a game! 

Fun game! Love how the theme was integrated and that we are basically bug hunting. The music felt fun to listen to as well, good fit!
