So much ingenuity packed into a 7 day build. Curious about how a lot of this was designed and implemented.

How does you game fit the theme?
I thought of conspiracy theories, and how someone would cope with having a parent being obsessed by them. "It is not real" is a plea from you to your dad.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Wrote the code, but used the Windows 95 UI for graphics.

This is crazy indepth.
Did you really go back and find all these posts to make this? I love it. I'm so curious about the backstory of this lol
Great job! :D
Could you please rate my game too? Trying to get some more votes so I know what to change next time :D

Child Daycare BattlesDefinitley needs some kind of hint system, ended up using the walkthourgh. Other than that, I am amazed with this game as it was made in such a short amount of time. Using my own browser as a fourth-wall breaker really gave this game a great puzzle aspect. Story was great, graphics and audio were perfect, and this was overall a really great game.
Very interesting game, I loved it. I needed to follow the walkthrough for about half of it or just to make sure I was on the right track. I like the thought of making people use external sources to the game but it might be better and more sustainable to keep it all in-game. This reminded me a lot of Inscryption, which also does some stuff external but never takes you out of the game and probably has an internal system fallback.

Anxiety AttackImpressive work to recreate the computer and the feel of windows 95! I like the integration of "real" Google into the puzzles, this is a clever concept but might be double edged. Thinking back, the puzzles all made sense but I totally had to rely on the walkthrough to go through it. It was still fun though. More like a "Ohhh yeah, makes sense, wish I saw that".
Some feedback:
- Especially when dealing with that type of subject matter, having players click on suspicious links might not be the best. I wonder, did you actually create those websites yourself for the game (very computer, etc.)?
- Searching for the post in google didn't work very well. Even using the walkthrough, I had to force the search to not default to windows 95 until I eventually found the link. Honestly, if I wasn't following the walkthrough, I probably wouldn't have even glanced at the website or even find it in the first place.
- I wish there could be a full screen option on the webgl version. I couldn't make out the * (was it to indicate space, or was it a #) on the postit. Actually never occurred to me that it was a * ... The bot game was also so small that didn't really pick out the clue there.
Good submission though. Different than most of the jam games. Good job!

Accident at Faux PassReally cool vibe! Loved the windows 95 aesthetic and the storytelling. Also, the use of external sites gave a spooky realism to it all. I've also been to the Denver airport and seen those murals, so that was pretty crazy having that tie in. Really cool stuff!

GOLDEN PARADISEThat was such a great game! This type of looking for clues are always super cool! But I did have a few struggles, sadly. I did have to use the walktrough, but I tried to do is as little as I needed. But sadly when it says to google "winlose15" icouldn't find anything. Maybe because I'm from a different country and google adjusts the search for it. Or maybe I just didn't look hard enough/did it right xD
Regardless, awesome game! Great job!

Next StopThank you! And wow, how did I not think of that? Of curse the results would differ based on the user. I'm really glad you pointed it out to me. If I would do something similar, I'll reconsider the Google stuff.
However, I don't think that was the problem this time. There are very few results for "winlose95", and I think you typed in "winlose15" instead. But it might still be an issue in the future. Thank you for playing!
omg this was a really great game!! I love this type of game and truly enjoy this one!!
rly love the concept and the story. and it was really interesting to use google irl to progress the game, very meta lol. one small feedback, maybe you could try a different font for the sticky notes, I had a pretty hard time reading the '*' symbol lol...
But it was overall a rly great game!! really well done ^^b
you create an amazing atmosphere for this game and I just love it but it would have to say that it was difficult times and the walkthrough was used.
