I really liked exploring everything! The store, the sewers, the freaky "Where is Gus?" sign was quality. The ending soundtrack though - some of the best ever!
Question, I am having a big error that is affecting the gameplay. When I boot up the game, the game is zoomed in just enough so that the subtiles at the bottom telling me what to do, are nearly cut off besides the tips of the letters so I have no idea what the games wants me to do. Do you have any way to fix this?
This game is super cool dude, and I'm hoping to finish it soon so I can give my full opinion on it, but I'm stuck in the sewers! Could you let me know how to get through them? I've been wandering for over twenty minutes, still found nothing that I can interact with... I found a ladder that looks like the exit, but I can't climb onto the platform to interact with it, and I'm not sure if that's actually the path forward or not.
This game is right up my alley! I love the retro look and feel! As usual, Jon’s music jams and helps to set the tone, taking the player back to the era. I was truly surprised by the game’s ending; I never expected to witness what I did. I’d love to see this game or idea expanded into a larger release!
I played through the game and actually recorded it for my channel. I can not emphasize enough how much of an amazing game this was. I absolutely loved it, the atmosphere and the weird, lovecraftian story elements were beautifully done. However, I will say that I was not fond of the aspect of aimlessly scouring around the sewers, and did encounter an issue with not being able to pick up the boxes at times. Overall, I had a lot of fun, thank you!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you had a good time with the game!! These two issues are a result of the 2 day limit of the jam I'm afraid. The idea was to follow the water flow in the sewers, but I can see how even that can get confusing. Same goes for the boxes, didn't have enough time to polish the mechanic.
I completely understand that, my friend. Like I said, they were only minor issues for me. Also, that would actually make a lot of sense, I think I was just being a fool and didn't notice it. Honestly, I really enjoyed the game, and would love to see what comes next for you. Thank you for your reply, by the way!

This game reminds me of Puppet Combo!

Awesome game! Very simple and very entertaining, I had a lot of fun making this video
Keep it up, I'd love to play more similar games!
(I say "these graphics are horrible!" in the video, but actually I really like the PS1 style graphics and I play a lot of games like that ;D)
No Commentary :)
Really loved this game, its PS1-style graphics and atmosphere.
Great night city atmosphere. Satisfying ending. Keep up!
Loved the game. Great atmosphere and overall creepiness. I'm not sure why out guy would go into so much trouble for Gus though lol
I gave it a go (starts at 11:05)
WAS GUS EVEN REAL. YO DEVELOPER, WAS GUS EVEN REAL??!

Nice creepy game and cool retro style. The music at the end was awesome. Good stuff Neurobew!
