I gave the dev log post a read, and I see where you're coming from! Programming and making games is one of the hardest things there is to learn. Even more so when on a time limit! So you did come up with a working solution for the problem you had at hand. Big props on that!

However even though it was on purpose. I don't necessarily agree with the choice due to being added friction and taking you out of the otherwise polished experience. 

Overall great work and good luck on your learning journey!

If you (or anyone else reading this) need help/advice I'm in the gamejam's discord so feel free to send a DM!

Absolutely loved the art of it.

It was pretty unique how it made use of searching for things online and the overall vibe of it was great!

Was not a big fan of it being separated into multiple different game pages. It would be a better experience if it was entirely done in the single game. It pulls you out of the experience momentarily.

Also the third part of the game being completely stuck in french was a bummer.

I'm happy to hear you liked it! Thanks for playing!!

Thanks! That's very nice to hear.

Didn't know about the alternative key. From what I've read having an alternative key for it is the only real way to get around it for sure but I could be wrong!

Unfortunately after spending quite a while looking around I wasn't able to find what I assume to be the last missing part.

The size of the map makes it quite hard to properly look through the entirety of it along with the walk speed.

Along with the day and night cycle locking you out for a moment preventing you from properly looking around. Another thing was that most of the paths there are seem to lead the player to a seemingly random location or a dead end except for a few.

I tried going to the tram stop but that didn't seem to work either. Clicked each of the tiles of yellow paint but my character didn't seem to move. 

Overall I found the movement a bit confusing and the dialogue system felt like you were pressing what you were prompted rather than being about making the correct decision.

Issue is that the gamejam specifically prohibits the use of AI for visuals and audio

Rule 1: "No AI-generated art or audio."

Unfortunately the view gets locked looking straight up and only spins around with no way to look down. Such a shame was looking forward to playing this based on the screenshots and the description.

For context I'm using Firefox so it might be a Firefox specific issue.

Such a sweet game with a moving story. Well done!

Fun short game!

Cool game and really nostalgic!

Some things to note:

The mouse sensitivity was quite low and I couldn't find a way to increase it.

And also the tab closes when playing on the browser when you try to move forward while crouching. (CTRL+W)

This was such a fun game. Loved the puzzle aspect of it and the short gags in the tapes!

A novel idea that does exactly what it says on the tin!

Neat idea and a well polished experience!

It's really polished for being made in under an hour!

Definitely matched that retro feel in terms of art and music!

I couldn't figure out what to do with the gas can and other items that I found after looking through what seemed the whole map and interacting with every object.

Unfortunately couldn't get past the second part with the construction worker. After completing the sequence it got stuck on a screen of the background and none of the buttons let me continue on. 

This was a great and very polished experience! Good work!

Fun experience!

Only things to note would be the ability to set the game to fullscreen and possibly an interaction popup, otherwise it was great!

Thanks for playing! I'm happy to hear that the atmosphere and vibe landed!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!!

Hey! Thanks for playing the game. The order itself is random and the micro-stories are not connected to each other. The core idea behind it is that these are people who come to you for a chance to relive their fondest memories once more. And your role is to grant them that chance. The ending is there to shed some light on who your character actually is.

Thanks for playing!

Just a heads up I had some issues with the mouse getting captured and when it did get captured it was spinning wildly. This might be a Firefox specific issue.

Great storytelling and very immersive!

One thing to note: the mouse sensitivity felt a bit too low.

The atmosphere and art direction were both great. The core gameplay is quite unique but it did get stale fairly fast due to how slow it is to move forward. 

Great work, overall it was an interesting experience!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!!

Hey! I'm glad you liked it!! 

Slight Spoilers Ahead

If you're referring to the door, you need 2 pieces for it total. The next piece is further on into the cave through a passage that's in the same room as the door is in.
