God, this is soooo frustrating!!! Great game!

polarkac 2014-08-25 07:27

Great! I cant get off that song from my head :D.

mess110 2014-08-25 07:48

hehe. I see what you did there ;)

xoxopanda 2014-08-25 13:31

Extremely annoying, though an excellent game!

martins 2014-08-25 19:01

Awesome game, but i would like to point out that there is no such thing as "outdated sci-fi" :D

paperblurt 2014-08-25 19:04

So realistic that I get annoyed.
Good work!

lucidsheep 2014-08-25 20:02

Hilarious!

ludipe 2014-08-25 20:39

Cool game, frustrating, as it happens with this situations in real life. Once I screamed at them for a long time, it surprisingly worked xD

teamquadratic 2014-08-26 04:02

Such a brilliant game! I can't help but feel annoyed. Great job!

jordanfitz 2014-08-26 04:04

This game was hilarious, and I loved the music and art.

onlyslightly 2014-08-26 04:10

That was really cute! I loved the artwork and audio. Everything fit together so neatly. It was really polished. Perhaps you captured frustration too accurately.

Pretty much nailed the "customer service" experience. I laughed a few times, but only to cover up my uncontrollable inner sorrow as I remembered my own calls from years past. Good job!

khaotom 2014-08-26 06:51

I think I got the good ending. I need to go spend a week in the forest with no technology soon.

iamspencer 2014-08-26 06:57

Haha, I've been pretty much through this exact thing before XD
(also, nice touch by adding the 'cellphone near speaker sound' in there) :)

dickpoelen 2014-08-26 18:23

So good. Especially the music!

mintarcade 2014-08-26 18:24

Awesome. I hope it will never happen to me ever AGAIN ;) Great game... Excellent audio

atomicvikings 2014-08-26 18:33

5/5 in everything! make moar! this is amazing. PS. make a mobile version too!

c_walden 2014-08-26 18:57

That was delightfully maddening. I laughed several times! The music was very well-chosen, at first sounding relaxing, but gave the impression of having subtly condescending undertones as things progressed. Great job.

randomnamegenerator 2014-08-26 20:19

Great game! Hilarious. Would love some added scenarios!!

literal_games 2014-08-27 10:25

Hilarious game. Great work with the dialogue options.

simouth 2014-08-27 10:30

Fun!
My entry is a customer service game too, of another kind

mechanicmoon 2014-08-27 10:32

I loved it, great game

moonlightbomber 2014-08-27 11:18

Good going. But I hope you can fix the save/load/options menu.

jahmaican 2014-08-27 14:51

Quite amusing. And art-wise it's really nice. I especially enjoyed the music.

dookie 2014-08-27 20:34

Haha, what an infuriating game! I love it. The music and the crazy blinking modem cracked me up ;)

gnerkus 2014-08-28 06:27

This is so frustrating! This is a very beautiful game.

dtruby 2014-08-30 00:57

Really like the take on the theme. Also reminds me of IGTCED, but the other way round. The soundtrack was pretty fire - the static noise made me check my headset :P
- Qualia

artamus 2014-08-30 10:35

I did it! Very funny. (I could totally have tried to re-play the game in October.)

emotiontheory 2014-08-30 19:41

Point was really made! Lovely little adventure about something we can all relate to. It was as frustrating as the situation is in reality, but with a sense of humour and nice production values to offset that! Glad I played it, cheers :)

nicealexanderas 2014-08-30 19:56

"Thats plenty of time to get a few more hours into this MMO-RPG-RTS-FPS roguelike-like match-three game i've been working on." Omg dude that was so hilarious x'D

The game was so fun, hilarious and the story was so awesome xD Excelente work! i also loved the music!!! The phone call was so useless xD

druid 2014-08-30 20:19

This is.... OMG! Best game here ! XD

dans17 2014-09-06 20:27

I really want to play this game but I can't seem to get it past my anti-virus software.

grooveman 2014-09-08 21:48

It took a while for the best joke to appear, but it was definitely worth looping through tech support a whole bunch to get it.

Graphically, I really like the skeumorphism you have going - all realistic textures, but /just/ stylized enough to not feel out of place. The music choice is really good too.

I think the overall experience could be improved if the "It's been an hour since..." increased every time that message came up, and if the background shifted to evening lighting as you kept playing. Thanks for making this!

withoutpillow 2014-09-11 15:25

amazing game, great writing! so frustrating and fun!

sheepolution 2014-09-12 19:53

Very close to reality. Refreshing browser, reseting modem, turning on and off the computer, and that all 100 times.

Really funny game, I like how much options you have instead of a straight forward story.
