Really like the artstyle and vibe of the game, enjoyed the story. I went with the normal typing speed, but seems I type slowly. I noticed that occasionally nothing would happen if I had not finished typing before the timer went out. I also think there could be more of a consequence for not completing the words and sentences in time. And perhaps an optional use of the numpad (and the dot there) to write numbers. The game also left me wondering if the player has any choice in some of the story events? Could the player just refuse to type certain things? Or do we not have that agency because we're a computer?

Thanks for playing!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

A very valid point I didn't quite think about! I was thinking sometimes something happening would spice it up, but it DOES play as sometimes nothing happening. Post jam version should make sure something happens on each timeout.
I also think there could be more of a consequence for not completing the words and sentences in time.
Perhaps a good change would be to decrease the threshold of slow responses to get a bad ending, maybe from 50% to 30%? I didn't want to be too harsh since I believe it's usually better to be more generous to the player when in doubt, but I'll consider it. More points of failure-by-slow response could also be good, though I'd need to alter some dialogue to accommodate it, and I don't feel like doing that.

I wasn't aware it didn't work, thanks for that! I don't have a number pad, so I'll have to figure out some way to test it.
with the audit popup that when I clicked zoom, the timer stopped indefinitely
I fear you may have caught a bug with the audit popup freezing, I'll look into it! I thought I tested it, but perhaps I should have been more thorough.
Thanks for the feedback!
