got stuck :( used a chart to figure out isaac, mom, ignore me, dad, oma, and giles deacon b/c i just had to know. how in the world was i supposed to figure that out? i had fun anyways though i love these sorts of games

sorry if my spoiler review is kind of harsh. i really seriously enjoyed this game, despite having to use a cheat-y method to figure out some of the characters. i just wish there were more/better clues. i really don't mean to sound rude, and if anyone has answers to these questions or there were clues i missed please tell me.


spoilers:

specifically, what i don't understand was how i was supposed to figure out which number "ignore me" was, since there were 2 with no texts, but i didn't see any clues to figure out which one. i also have no idea why isaac is over at our character's house if they are just "shift manager"? i do see the shift covering thing, but i didn't think they could be connected because the dough nutty text and the thank you text are in entirely different months? i also don't understand why the mom's texts have a reference to her dad? and lastly, who in the fuck is giles deacon???? why is their only reference in our phone that they like puns (like our brother), but they call us sweetheart and tell us to call our (deadbeat??) mom?? literally who are they.

No worries, it was part of a game jam, so it was never properly balanced or fully fleshed out. I don’t take it as rude and I appreciate you playing it.

Spoilers below:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

There is an important distinction between dad/giles to play on the idea of dad versus the character’s actual father (stepdads). Oma is german for grandmother, so you don’t get texts from her, but regular long calls.

Whoops, looks like the sender/receiver JSON for the mom’s texts got reversed. Should be fixed now. I can see how that would be very confusing.

Two of the numbers are real, so you can look them up: Naval Observatory Standard Time (which you can call and get the current time) and Poison Control.
