The audio was great, and the mood was fantastic, being able to look around with the mouse was a nice touch. It took a while to get to the dialogue, and I'm not entirely sure if that's good or bad.

One last thing: If you quickly open and close the privacy screen before the door opens, you can keep the text screen open without the privacy. Needless to say, this can cause some amusing antics: http://bit.ly/1u9WsqC

Haha that is amazing :D Thank you for playing!

Hahah I love the War Games reference!

I found a SMALL glitch that doesn't even matter because the game is so awesome, but I'm not sure if you wanna fix it or not.

Thanks laxeot, I did a lot of last-minute coding to try and get the text input clean, it could still use work!

Enjoyed that. Reminds me of diary program I wrote myself for my TRS-80 years ago.

amydee 2014-12-09 00:48

Ah the TRS-80! So many memories!

I looked around and ran it for for about 5 minutes real time typing some random stuff and nothing did not seen anything but the screen I was typing on and the privacy screen. how long before something happens?

The old school screen effect is amazing. Definitely not a fan of waiting around for dialog though.

amydee 2014-12-09 01:15

liquidmedia, it should be just typing for about 3 minutes. If it went beyond that there was a bug. What version were you running?

lissar 2014-12-09 04:18

I actually teared up a bit at the end! And I didn't really have anything to confess. (I tried thinking of something personal I could write, but there was nothing, alas.)

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-09 21:47

Deep man. Wish there was a little more.

It's not clear at the beginning what you're meant to be doing, I was trying to open the files on C drive for ages lol.

mjspecter 2014-12-09 23:57

Great game. Would love to see more dialogue but I love the silence and feel of the game. Great entry! cx

After 5 ingame Minutes I had to quit as nothing happened... Web Version.

blobby101 2014-12-10 00:16

Amazing. I don't really want to comment on it technically because it doesn't really seem... relevant I guess.
Really quite moving, though I didn't have anything especially personal to write, so it ended with Mum getting teary and giving me a hug after seeing the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody on the screen xD

amydee 2014-12-10 01:51

@rodobodolfo, what OS and browser were you using?

amydee 2014-12-10 01:52

@lissar, aaronjbaptiste, MjSpeCter, Blobby101, thank you so much! Glad people have been moved and/or found humor in it, either way that's pretty awesome.

Very interesting entry. The typing and darkness were really effective. Great interpretation of the theme.

rnd 2014-12-10 07:14

I dont get it how to play it haha...

gafblizzard 2014-12-10 07:22

Nice idea and good mood. For fast typists it seems to drop letters, and takes a VERY long time for anything to happen. A few minutes are ages when you've typed up a novel or three in the meantime!

Hi there. Like the look and feel, the background noise, the typing noises. Nice greenscreen simulation. Conversation happened with mom outside door at about 4 minutes in, but nothing else after a further 3... stopped then.

amydee 2014-12-11 03:15

mrexcessive, if you're up for trying it again, remember to use the privacy screen (TAB)

caliberproject89 2014-12-12 01:11

This was excellent. It struck a cord in me since this I put myself in that child's position, and connecting it with my real-life experiences with my parents. The game really puts the player in that moment. Great game!

norgg 2014-12-13 20:45

Awww, nice. I so wanted to run those taunting files in the privacy screen, or to save the confession somewhere. First time through I made up a confession which was pretty over the top, so there was just so, so much slightly creepy awkward guilt.

simonchauvin 2014-12-20 13:07

This was a really interesting experience. Well done I love this kind of weird game :)

amydee 2014-12-21 02:57

Thank you all for the comments! Really appreciate your insight and experiences playing.

Nice atmosphere. I expected a little bit more of the reaction of the mother, but great mood overall!

ace 2014-12-29 14:19

I love the concept in play here, the atmosphere is great and the mood really turned out fantastic.
Beautiful use of the theme I think.

amydee 2014-12-30 04:20

Thanks everyone who voted for getting me in the top 15 for mood, and for the fantastic feedback!
