I loved this so much, the premise alone is bonkers and evocative as shit and then it just keeps going. 

I do wish there was a little more breathing room especially in the second half, but I loved that stuff wasn't really explained just left for us to figure out

Maybe this game isn't for me. The presentation and style is fantastic, maybe the strongest I've seen in a VN, but I couldn't get into the writing. I was intrigued by the unexplained elements, but the first narrative "hook"/horror moment fell flat to me. I think because it showed too much of it hand, and didn't leave much room for the imagination That's why the unexplained elements gripped me more than this setpiece.

I hear there's twists, but I stopped at the first number puzzle and didn't feel hooked enough to continue.

That being said there's clearly a lot of work on display, and the mechanics are very strong, so kudos and good luck on the project!

I read it on my own, changed my life.

Started reading it with a non-furry friend. A year later, we finished it.

Had a blast the entire time, thank u everyone who worked on this game, much love

raw, feeling, the love and fear of digital communication, interwoven cyber and queer, tragedy, trying not to think about it

Man being able to sit and listen to the alien cat brought me so much joy

Oh wow! As a latecomer, your improvement and sheer output is super impressive actually. This is a herculean project and I really enjoyed case 1 (still on case 2). I'm also super curious on the technical side, how the process was to set it all up, maybe i;ll go snooping past dev logs. anyway congrats!

OMG Thats so cool!!!! Thank you so much for sharing, I really like it, especially the expressions and outfits

Thanks NocteJ, thats awesome to hear!

For updates, admittedly I've fallen into The Dip with this project- but I do plan to finish it

if patricia goes on the pod we riot (in a good way)

Yea, I was looking for something like "Victims suit/body" which was part of the investigation, as that wouldve shown stab marks. Had to walkthrough that one

AMAZING!! Real ones remember the original title

Holy WOW this is so fun! The tutorial is mandatory and some of the UI and im not fully sure how to deal with shield enemies but this is very satisfying

This is pretty cool! The huge letters in a dark world with the filter is pretty evocative. The audio is kind of lacking but the failstate gave me goosebumps in a good way

Amazing. The characters are wonderful and the pacing is much faster than other mystery VNs I've played. So many screenshotable moments. Only finished the first case but really glad I gave this a shot

Aw thanks!

Laughed very hard, this is incredible, everyone should play it even if you aren't from Prague

I wonder if it would be better without the extra adlibs, I really enjoyed 'The Beginners Guide'-esque Voice over of the first one but maybe the extra bombastic noise is what helps ramp it up.

This ia a fascinating philosophical piece about the intrinsic nature of capitalist realism to push an everyman into a scenario where he ends up unrecognizable from his original position. Monokuma; the capitalst hegemony. The TF; the deeply ingrained forest trails of capital. And the thief; the poor sod  being dragged through the harrowing maze of Hope's Peak.

unironically very cohesive and funny, *inspired* use of the sprites and audio of the games.

god this is so so unfinished but its so so powerful wth

lol thank you!

I liked it! The goggle-world interactions isn't watertight but I'm glad this concept was explored, and also the final level was really fun and tied all of it together in a enthralling way. good stuff

Holy shit this is so sick!!!! I love the movement mechanics here, theres a learning curve but its SOO satisfying. I did get stuck in one of the later rooms but I was blown away by how cool this was. Still Im really happy with the runtime it had.

(the room in question, I seemingly didn't have enough time)

Oh wow I just finished the prologue, it was so good! I am really looking forward to playing chapter 1 when it comes out

Man I wanna play this game so bad but the checkpoints dont work i think? I'ts very hard without them :thumbsup:

Very cool will try in a week :thumbsup:

Pretty basic platformer, I like the concept but I feel it doesnt fullfill it with gameplay, only in framing. The camera could be zoomed out more and the character movement fine tuned more, but I did beat it. I wish there was more on this topic on itch tbh

This is Very Cool but also Very Hard :sob:

I found it alright; knowing it was a april fools game beforehand I could enjoy some of the tropes as parody in the "story" sections- like the inexplicably super-detailed medical knowledge that the writer researched (both with the arrow and hypothermia lol). Some didn't hit as hard (reusing "comically" and "unceremoniously", eh, sure). The meta-story felt a bit unfocused but there are some solid jabs with common artistic feedback experiences. 

The best part was for me the deer reveal. I actually turned away from the screen and laughed at how ridiculous it was (10/10).  It was a good mix of timing, surprise and setup/reveal.

I think I would've liked it more if more of the jokes where more on that level, but it has it's moments and charm, and it did keep me interested enough to finish it.

I thought I'd give it a quick glance but read all the way through the end. The writer has a solid grasp on dynamics between characters, and portrays them electrically with minimal dialogue.

I love the dockworkers + union social setting. The glimpses to the other job were welcome

boy does this game take mileage of the interview format

||| I thought that Jelly was going to betray us, based on the psycho comment and him being setup as kind of unreliable. He ended up being a kind nuisance, which is a bit jarring but also sweet. |||

**takes notes

I live and breathe this game 10/10

Strangely Hypnotic. The player character feels like controlling a paperthin cheese platter and I don't know how to build up speed but the music and strange visuals, combined with the hypersmoothness of it all is kind of hypnotic. Zoned out and went down the mountain for a while which surprised me considering my early impressions weren't great. You succeeded

Really cool concept, I like the core mechanic whereby you try to figure out which is task is best for what alter only for it to be potentially disrupted.

Maybe im just bad the game but I didn't get far enough to see a point beyond that core game loop. Some noteworthy bugs in the minigames, or the "hacked" alter portraits not actually changing anything is a bit of a letdown.

The aesthetics are powerful. I appreciate the dog and the messed up gas mask looking mfer as "vibes" to consider with the tasks. All of the portraits are fantastic and moody. Audio was minimal but fitting.

I wish the core loop was more technically polished, and have an endstate, but I can definitely say I enjoyed the atmosphere.

You succeeded with your mission statement, a trancelike element with still gameplay at the forefront. Good stuff

my final score was 720 made me laugh

Im in awe at the perfect flow lsdfj. The music is incredible and its implementation as like flow creator, mood setter and just nice to listen to is so GOOD

The experience still hasn't settled for me but damn.

I'm better at talking about my problems in this game than irl slkdfj. The eye opening, the amount of input needed of the player to do basic tasks, and the painful essays really immersed me. The fact they where all for school subjects just cemented that we have nowhere else to go with this. Thank you for the ending <3

Hey uh, two years later but I got round to finishing it lmao. Hope your doing well, and thanks for inspiring me so long ago <3 https://boreality.itch.io/grand-stalingrad

Nice

Funnest gameplay ive seen so far in the jam. I ADORE the integration between the loading and driving. The driving is also fast and slid-y enough to be cathartic too. The art and 3d effects are also pretty- my only criticism is that I miss some sound effects or visual feedback to give crashing into stuff/package hitting something etc but otherwise its amazing!!
