Wow, this was a lot! While it is a bit much for a jam game, I am impressed by how much you managed to cram into this game in just a month. It's all pretty well polished, too. I respect the multiple endings, it makes the game that much more interesting.
I enjoyed this game so thoroughly that I played all the way to the end (I got the "business partners" ending) despite it going well over the time limit. Nice entry!
Yeah... I know it's really over the time limit. Believe it or not, I thought cutting down the actual number of days to kill customers would keep it to an hour; you were originally supposed to get an entire week of customers before being railroaded into Hell. But when my own playthrough for three days went to around half an hour, I had to cut down on the number of days so the plot would be finished. I'm glad you decided to play through the entire game. :) Originally I planned for two endings, but then I realized that there might be people who only do a tiny bit of the main mechanic and would still be getting the best ending, so I thought "eh, a few more cutscenes won't hurt me" and used the endings to let the players know how well they did.
I loved the plot, the characters and the dialogs! I had some good laughs and the game overall was quite enjoyable! You have some great storytelling skills!
:) Thank you! I've been writing stories since I learned to type, so writing will always be my strongest element in my games. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Okay this was hands down my favorite, esp after playing the whole thing. I know it gets judged by the hour. I get 1/6 ending. I got to play bc I was very sick today LOL But I should be working on stuff all the time :p but I got hooked. I loved it. I'd love to see other endings people get, or even if you can record or upload the endings I would love to see them! I'm so curious. Also the gallery was so cute. I love how you could interact with almost everything. And the cult chanting radio hahahaa I thought he was rapping at first it was so funny LOL
Lots of entertaining comments from Tymvaul and the options for killing did make me think and search for the creative options. Definitely a lot of creepy moments in the game, so good job bringing the horror!
I did have a minor issue with the flickering lights, they set off my headaches. Weakening them so they only slightly tint the screen or having them happen less often may help with that if other people have the same problem.
Oh goodness, I'm so sorry. I'll definitely fix that one up. I didn't think of the flashing lights as an issue until I got feedback saying that I should put a warning in for them in the intro to the game. I threw up the warning... and forgot to dim the flashes.
Thank you for the feedback. :) I hope you enjoyed the game. I definitely worried my game wasn't creepy enough because it wasn't scaring ME, but I'm glad you found it entertaining.
Leaving this here in case anyone gets stuck - SLEEPING IS MANDATORY TO PROGRESS THE PLOT OF THE GAME. Once you've done everything that you think you can do, go to Tymvaul's bed and interact with it to sleep and start a new day, which will advance the plot of the game.
