Pretty good, I wasn't sure what to do after a while of trying everything a few times waiting for Joe to come - Also not entirely sure what the zombie bar was actually showing me :P

Loved the atmosphere and the way you presented their broken relationship. Great art!!!! :D

Some interactions felt a bit clanky and some text disappeared for no reason though :<

Thanks to you both! :) I guess you didn't find the ending?
PS : see the comment I added in the presentation about the zombie bar.

I really enjoyed the style of this one. Kind of Suburban and Ominous at the same time.

Wow! Graphics is just amazing! Liked style very much!

Strong mood. But no real ending, besides the relationship ending. I think I turned into a zombie when the bar was full? But I could just do something and the meter would drop.
Great visual style. Missed music to complete the mood. But that's hard to do in 48 hours.

Thank you!!

@ Priapus: there is an ending, a real one. (there are 2 actually, but only 1 good ending. Sort of.)

After three tries, only find what I suppose to be the bad ending.There is a great mood in this one, it makes you think there's something else going on, something deeper. I like how the player don't even have a clue at first, and I didn't understand the same thing on my first and second try. Until the end, I wondered if this whole story was true or not, like in a fantastic novel, I felt that girl was totally paranoid and felt more sympathy with Joe on my first try. Then I played differently and identify to her instead. The game is a bit frustrating because it makes me feel it would be much better if you had more time to spend of it (even if it's already awesome for 48h) I hope you'll work on it to makes it feel complete!

It could do with some more tension, e.g. seeing glimpses of zombies moving, or hearing them all the time rather than occasionally. The artwork is beautiful, and very different from everything else I've seen.

The style is very unique, and I loved the story-telling aspect.

Creepy! Looking for another ending, not sure if there is one. Excellent job!
