Thanks for the heads up with the number that's definitely a glitch. 

I think you may be missing the two that require people's full names to access since they are the most difficult to find and one leads to the other. The best hint I can give is: gel gb svther bhg jub znqr IVBYRG.  (ROT 13)

If you're still having trouble the answer is: Fgnpv ZpQrnegu  (ROT13)

Let me know if you need any more help!

Extremely impressive use of Dialogic! I never would have thought to build a battle system using it, but it worked really well! Incredible! 

I played the game about 6 years ago and havent stopped thinking about it since. Still one my my fave solo ttrpgs

Does it keep crashing in the same spot for you?

Unfortunately you might have better luck downloading the game, but you can skip through most of the dialogue by holding down CTRL, but that might end up causing other problems with the phone

You dont think its worth examining why a vague word has come to replace all the complexities of narration and boil it down into the same thing and what that could indicate about how people are engaging with media and how people are thinking about media? 

The point is that the word isnt convenient, its anti intellectual which robs people of being able to discuss topics in more specific and nuanced ways. It is too broad and has subsumed every word to describe narrative components. 

If somone asks me "whats the lore" there are at least 5 different things they could mean. Which is inconvenient and useless because I have to ask clarifying questions. Just say "backstory" or "plot point" or even "information".

Whatever word you are using "lore" to replace  you should use that word instead. "Lore" is just the current trendy word to say and I cant wait for it to die out.

Making every major character a major asshole was a very good and correct choice. And adding a second co-dependent character made all character dynamics much more interesting, though I do wish you could have used that relationship more to your advantage. The manipulative relationship between the actors is definitely what I found most compelling and I wish we could have seen more of it. 

Did you try the full name of the courthouse?  Its: Juvgroebbx Pbhagl Pbhegubhfr  (ROT13)

Hello! Quick question: where did you get the name Willowbrook from? The town's name is Whitebrook and I need to make sure I didn't make a typo anywhere.

yes! yes! YES! let games be finished! let them be dead!!! 

Creepy pastas were the source of the thought originally and how they evolved from individual short stories, then to the SCP format, then to just the backroom wikis. And I started to wonder how and why this happened and how it coincided with the language shift of calling everything "lore". 

You are so right about vn character designs and poses *chef kiss*

I was so close to adding a sound effect but then i got lazy

Yes yes yes! My favorite part of playing kings field was realizing that i was on a part of the dungeon that wasnt mapped! And then getting a more complete map, and then finding out that it still wasnt perfect!!!! 

realism is the death of art!!!!

you are so fucking right and you should say it. I had someone tell me that my narrative deduction game had too much text once and i wanted to loose my shit 

fuuuuuuck i'm so glad someone else put into words what i've been thinking about. so many games try to emulate things without thinking about WHY those components exist in the original game and it's all just regurgitated vomit  

♥️♥️♥️♥️

the amount of times i've seen people ask "whats your dream ip to work on?" makes me want to rip my hair out

You could use regular cards to build the shelf (ie the cards on the table) and then roll a d20/RNG for the major arcana and then re-roll if you get the same number

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you liked it!

No. This is for non-commercial, non-distributable,  personal use only. If you color it, you can post it and show it off, but this piece is not available to be used in other context.

You can access the grove website but only after a certain condition is met: lbh arrq gb unir frnepurq sbe ng yrnfg 3 tebir tnzrf naq gura frnepu sbe "tebir" va gur frnepu one naq ornaf jvyy zrffntr lbh naq tvir lbh gur pbeerpg frnepu grezf gb hfr. This isn't necessary to figure out any of the puzzle, but gives you some context as to what was happening.

The username misspelling on GF unfortunately just another typo that got copy-pasted w/o me noticing that will be fixed in future updates. 

For the other usernames and names, you got those right, and the other ones are ones that don't have answers in games.

You might want to take a look at the credits for BLUE again. They wouldn't credit the same person twice under different user names. 

I'm also extremely curious how you came to the conclusion that Orngevk vf ZnvqTheyPneevr 

this is Art 

Hello!

I put out a game recently about queers being censored on the internet over the types of games they made, but the game itself diesnt include any of that content beyond a brief description.  Would this be alright to submit to the jam? 

Thanks! 

Hello! 

You are missing a big part of the story since you didn't find Staci's website. You can find it by using her full name which is: Fgnpv ZpQrnegu which you can find through: TencrYnar naq Gbav'f jrofvgr.

It's kinda wild you were able to beat the game without finding Staci's site since it's one of the ways you can find Shemanski, I'll have to close that loophole in future updates. 

Here's a bit more info:

I thought scarecrows and priapus was just an extremely funny and clever joke until i saw it as being 40% true and that sent me down a wild rabbit hole. 10/10 actually learned some fun facts!

Love those little jar friends and the crazy baba is you logic!!

It is, i didnt have time to make it fancy during the jam

Did you download the game or are you playing in web? if web what browser are you using?

I did a quick check and all the ones that will give you a site are working, but not *every* username or name will turn up something, i think only about 6-7 usernames will actually work

for the "archive" one? you'll need full names, and some usernames, but not everyone, or you can type in group names, but i'll go take a look to make sure they are working

Hello everyone! I wanted to show off some cool programs and tools that you might not be aware of that I think people would enjoy for the jam! All but one of these can be found right on itchio! 

Decker is a black and white low-code engine, inspired by HyperCard that can be used for Zines, VNs, point-and-click and even small programs! You can find it here: https://internet-janitor.itch.io/decker

And lastly Downpour, which is hosted off-site and uses an app, but you can upload the games here too! Downpour is used for making short interactive fiction games and collages. Here's a link to their website: https://downpour.games/

I can't wait to see what everyone makes!! 

This game is so cute!! I hope part two gets made!

Thank you so much for the lovely review!!
