Thanks a lot for your feedback and your kind words! We're planning to make an updated version with fixes later on, so this is very helpful! Regarding the items: You need to collect 5 in total, meaning you have to fill out your tote bag. Afterwards you're able to continue with the game. We'll make sure to make this more clear in the update!

I'm especially glad to hear that you like the aesthetic! Having a strong direction is something that's really important to me, personally.

Thanks again for checking out our game!

Just finished the good ending and it really was a joy to experience this strange, deathless world! The setting was really interesting and it does make you think about the purpose of life and death. The choices were also great, though I couldn't bring myself to choose the mean ones ;_; I especially liked the barkeep ending with the girl. 

Also, that fun text option is actually very fun, found myself playing around with it for a while before actually starting the game. More games need sliders like that.

Humanoid plants lend themselves really well to horror, I've noticed. The setup is very interesting and the cinematography with the camera pans and such was really well realized!

Wow, what an ending! The way the story was told and the way the characters experiences were described were great (don't want to spoil anything with this review)! The overall style, especially the sprites, together with the bitcrushed voices, really add to the weird atmosphere. Definitely a good decision to vary the voice beeps depending on the character to give them more personality. Overall a REALLY enjoyable experience!

This was a nice little game! It really takes you back to the days of RPG Maker horror games. What game engine did you make this in, by the way?

The story reminded me of Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (though, it's not a horror book). I can recommend it if you haven't read it yet! It's unfortunate that the game was mostly quiet. The lead-in to the ending was pretty nice, though it's unfortunate that not much creepy happened for a long while.

It's a very topical game, considering the rise of AI and the continuous research being done on creating humanoid robots!

It's nice to see a fellow CRT themed game! The style really adds to the disorientation and surreal nature of the game. And I really love the descriptions of the thoughts of something that has no idea what being human means. Also, the idea to advance the music as the text advances during some of the scenes has a great effect! Overall, the direction of the game is really solid and I'm curious what you'll come up with next.

How did you get the text on your game page to look the way it does, by the way? It really fits the style of your game.

The overall style and presentation of the game are really great! I've never played a PC98 game but this is what I imagine they'd look like

Can't play the game, password is required.

Thank you for playing and your honest feedback! And yeah, we hate jumpscares too!
If you liked it, you can try our 'newest' horror text based game 'Whisperstring'. It's a bit better for the player with some Quality of Life changes. And of course it's free :)

We are preparing a new version which will be published at the end of january. Maybe some things will be solved by then :) The game will then be available for free on Steam for 1.0.

Hey akaji777, thank you for playing our game!
Try to give Adam direct calls like "Use pick on lock" without "the" :)

Hey, where do you need our help?

Cool idea, the graphics are very appropriate, sounds and music fit perfectly with the rest. I liked clicking through the different channels, it reminded me of rick & morty!

Hey CuteShadow, thank you for playing our game and the feedback! The commands and objects/locations are always defined in gray, but you're right, that could be designed a little better!

This game is really visually impressive! Love all those animations. Especially that "chair spin" sprite at the beginning. Writing was really great as well! Great humor and it got pretty tense towards the end.

i liked the awkward and creepy in-between sequences between the cute and colorful game! Good voice acting and music/sounds!

Hey thank you for your feedback, i'm glad you liked it! 
In our new patch you can skip the typing part :)

Thank you for the feedback! I guess it was very unlucky or there was no space for a ghost to spawn. Glad you liked it! :)

Thank you for the feedback! 

Thank you for the feedback! Yes it's a bit buggy with the ghosts, they are supposed to 'walk', too :D

Thank you for your feedback! We've noted down your and Green Clover's points about being able to skip the typing sections and will try to implement a feature to allow that!

Yep, the CG where you see Amy sitting at the PC from the back is the final screen. We unfortunately didn't have time for a more elaborate ending but we can hopefully update it in the near future ^^

Thank you very much for playing the game! Nice that you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much for your feedback <3

Thank you for playing it! I'll watch it! :)

I felt like the music would overlap? That sounded a bit strange, but that's just a side issue. I liked the idea, even if it took me a little to understand the whole thing. The concept is really well done and it's also fun, there's also a bit of strategy involved!

The idea is good, I would have just wished for a little more movement (possibly letting the dice fly around). Maybe also a picture of the opponent, so you can see what's in front of you. I would also work with more visual stuff, prefer to use icons for HP eg. rather than just text, I got overwhelmed pretty quickly. But these are just small comments, I like the concept and the idea is very well implemented!

I don't understand the concept 100%, the dice spin and something happens. But that's enough for me, it's funny and I like it!

Relaxing music, awesome puzzles and a fun ability of the cube. It took me a while to understand the whole thing, but once it's understood, it's really a lot of fun!

Really well done, the atmosphere is great and I really like the roguelike concept. The game reminds me a bit of Risk of Rain from the atmosphere!

I really had a lot of fun and had to smile a little because the combination of combat and reaction was really well done. The theme is well captured too and overall I think the quest is one of the best I've played to date!

The idea is great, but playing it is a bit difficult. But I like the implementation and it goes well with the topic!

Thanks for the feedback! The mini-game 2 bugged in the last 20 minutes before the submission and I couldn't fix it promptly, after the jam it will be fixed quickly and then it can be played to the end!

You really understood it very quickly. The game is a lot of fun and one of the best I've found here at GMTK 2022 so far!

The game really is one of the better ones I've seen in this jam. I like the graphics, the concept and the sound. Very good!

Nice, little dice game!
