Great job y'all!!!! Yeeehaw!!!

Wow. This is such a powerful experience. The writing is just phenomenal and you can really feel the honesty through every word. Seriously amazing. 

Wow I'm super happy you enjoyed it! I'm so honored.

:D yay

Thank you so much for letting us know! Yes we had a lot of fun making this and we're super happy that you enjoy the game. :) 

Haha! It was awesome seeing you react to the different endings. Really great thumbnail for the video too! Thanks very much for playing the game! :D Fantastic content. 

Hello!!! I updated the game to be more performant on web! I also added a "Retry" Screen at the end! In the original the game exited, but in WebGL it doesn't exit. This will definitely help you play. :D

I don't actually have an OSX computer so it sadly makes testing impossible for me. D:

Let me know if you have any more troubles with the web version. :)

This is awesome! You perfectly summed up the reasons for why I wanted to make the game. :) I'm super happy to know that my vision was able to come across!

Thank you very much for this wonderful feedback! 

That's so amazing to hear! I'm honored that the game was relatable for you and that you enjoyed playing it. :D

Haha I'm really glad the game was relatable. I'm happy the character Nathan was able to entertain you and put a smile on your face. :) Thanks a lot for the nice comment and letting me know! 

I love the warioware vibes of this. The mini games are really interesting. I also really like the button spam one its fun. :D

Amazing!!!! Great job everyone! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the story. Really really neat. 

Awesome job y'all!!! Really really mysterious!

So so cool!!!! Great job everyone! I had a lot of fun playing this! :D The sounds and visuals are AMAZING.

This was really really fun!!! Great work to the both of you for making such a cute platformer. :) I had a good time playing!

I really like the idea of using the ladybugs to replenish your energy! It added some nice spice to the game. The art was really fun too!

Really neat project!!! You did a great job. Very aesthetic.

Alright! The update has gone live! :D Thank you again for the feedback. Now if anyone beats the game the next time they play again there is a new option to skip the introduction dialogue (which is the longest part) ---
However if you would like the option to skip the dialogue just activate the option by pressing the 'i' key any time before picking up Lauren's call for the first time. 

Thanks again! For a slightly more detailed version of this there is a update post on itch.

There is!!!! :) I'm honestly not sure if anyone has gotten it so far (without help) that I know of but it's definitely my favorite ending. I miiiggghhttt just have to put a few hints out there.

Hint: Daily reports are nice and noticable- but...

(Maybe a huge hint but it sounds kinda riddly so I'll roll with it. If anyone DMs me on Twitter I can tell you how to get it but I know some people love the challenge. You kind of have to think outside the box) 

Great feedback! I really appreciate it. I completely agree- after watching a few streamers play the game I realize the introduction is the only main part that can't be sped up through by choice- so I've been strongly considering making it skippable. Your comment really helps reaffirm my thoughts. I'm going to look into adding a "skip introduction" button that will appear after you play through the game once--- I will work on this later today so an update should be available 4/10. :) I will comment here when it's finished! Glad you enjoyed the game!!!

Wow! Glad to hear that we were able to create an immersive experience that you enjoyed multiple times!!! Thanks so much for making a video- it's always do much fun to watch what choices people make during their playthroughs. Also the thumbnail for the video is A+.

Thanks so much for commenting! We're happy to hear the game made you smile! And yes Katherine really knocked it out of the park with voicing Lauren. It was awesome being able to make something with so many dialogue lines. :D 

Hello! Thanks for commenting! 

Subtitles can be toggled on in game using the 'S' key while on the main computer desktop screen. :) We hope you enjoy the game! 

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the game twice!!!! The other two endings are my personal favorites. If you need any hints feel free to dm me on Twitter or anything. :D thanks for the feedback!!! :)

Haha! We're so happy to hear you were able to get into the experience of the game! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. :)

Thank you! And...which ending? ;D

So happy you had fun with it! :) It was a blast to make and its warmed my heart being able to hear players enjoy it!
