I laughed out loud at a lot of the dialogue, when I wasn't feeling distinctly ill at ease (and very conscious of my own level of exhaustion- great/bad timing to play this game!). The sfx and background music are so well chosen, I felt fully invested and on edge. The solution to reach the good ending is so clever as well, and I felt just as satisfied as the detective when I flipped the switch. Awesome work!!
Absolutely in love with the writing and art in this one. The final mechanic at the end made me smile. And don't worry about the bugs, you had 10 days! Banger entry all around!
This games means everything and more to me omygod this wad an absolute MASTERPIECE. The art was so absolutely beautiful the writing was hilarious and absolutely unhinged and the sfx was so insane, i was listening to my own music while playing and it caught me so off guard hearing it- i will not shut u[ about this game its funny i love these characters the storyline the ending/?????? omygod i think this just became my world best hour of my life i love this game so much i would acatully explode this was so good you guys did so great i cant believe i got the PRIVILEDGE of playing this work of art this game is my entire world AHHHHHHH
Hey thank you so much! We’re so glad our little game had such a big impact on you. If you are looking for more of the game we just released a big update that addresses bugs, adds new visuals and new audio to the game. Feel free to check it out :)
Never though that'll going to be like that. Good job on making that plot twist! Love how characters interact with each other, they're quirky and just the right way I love. I think the music is nice even though Detective hate it (I love jazz :)) I need that music on my playlist now wwww
The SFX!! FOR THE DIALOGUE!! MAKES ME LAUGH IN GOOD WAY HAHAHAHA XDD
Also, the portrayal of Kafkaesque bureaucracy hell, how I can feel it in my bones and that's the real horror of the game *Shivers*
(and yeah that's how corporate work makes you end with dead eyes like all those employees lololol /j)And the color palette of the game!! I love how it's used in a very effective way.
Next, the UI for the menu and the point-and-click element delightfully surprised me!
I haven't completed the game cuz it's already night and I'm too chickened out (which is good for this game!!) to see the endings so I will wait till daylight to finish it up. Might add some extra comments here after I finish it ahahahaha
Until then, Wonderful job!! Good luck polishing the game after the voting period ends since I feel there's so much more potential in it!!!!
OKAY I DID FINISH THE GAME!!!!
Glad nothing scares me too much but the threat of getting some jumpscare or smth really scary is wonderfully potrayed
The marriage between Cosmic Horror and the dread of corporate life mixed very well. This game is definitely my fave of the faves out of the bunch (
not because I'm biased to Cosmic Horror and happy to see how I feel about corporate work described well here, no sireeeeee!!!!)Again, THANK YOU for this friggin game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah… your praise does melt my heart, and yes I have always thought workplace bureaucracy and eldritch horror are a match made in heaven! Sorry for just getting around to replying to your comment, we’ve been working non stop to update the game to fix bugs, include new visuals, music, and audio and have just released the (probably final) update. Feel free to check it out if you have the time. And again thank you for playing :)
This was super neat. I loved the atmosphere this had going on, and the dark comedic undertones throughout. I had a lot of fun playing!
Detective game? Sign me up!
That's what first drew me to this entry, however when I was playing all I could think was, holy shit! Genuinely!
The art was absolutely perfect! The short animation when you begin playing? Genius!!!!
The character art was a joy to look at & the dialogue a joy to read, witty & thorough! The point and click elements, perfect!!!
What a wonderful entry, really amazing work!
OMG I am blushing… Thank you so much. We really appreciate it!
I freaking love the art style so much! I did run into a few bugs, but I think that was expected. I also had a hard time getting the good ending and ended up poking through the code to figure out how to do it.
Thank you! Sorry about the bugs hehe, bugfix will be released after voting is complete. We have added a guide for the Good ending now on the game’s page. Apologies for the lack of guide before, we have been a little busy until today.
Really loved the art style and the writing made me laugh!
Thank you so much!
Oh my lord, the good ending though.
Well done!
Thanks!
god I love the art style on this, plus the dialogue was a whole lot of fun
Thank you! Your complements are very appreciated :)
