I do appreciate the underlying pun happening in this game with it being about turning up the heat, and hot sauce (also turning up the heat) being multiple use. I was upset with it in the beginning because it was so bait-and-switch (try cutting actually try hot sauce) but being able to actually use other items made it more of a punchline than a trick, and i think thats where the script shines. Honestly I also got stuck at the “I should look at the computer a bit more first” and “I don’t have any reason to look at the computer” even though I also need to print something and have the password :(
Typing some thoughts as I play:
- the icicles on the dialogue window are a really nice touch! Same thing with the thermometers
- I like the sound effect that plays when the dialogue plays out
- the different flavor text for trying different items was cool, i appreciate how there wasn’t just a stock “this won’t work” message and it felt personal
- at first I didn’t realize you needed to drag and drop the items, I thought you could select one and then select where to use it. Idk if its worth having the flavor text on clicking them
- i wish there was more of a visual for the wasp puzzle
- “the bats have made a nice home here” oh man it’s bats in the mouse hole???
