Really enjoyed this! Took me two goes but I got it! Made the call at 3 hours the first time. a nice idea and well executed

Web version is just a black screen (Windows 7, Firefox 33)

Took a while to get used to, mostly because I was kind of dense about grasping the concept - still played well. I would have liked a bit more ambiance to increase the mood and style, but good overall.

pjimmy 2014-12-08 18:34

nice concept, very funny puzzle

berkano 2014-12-08 18:46

Very creative and fun to play! Took me a few goes but was not prepared to give up, got me hooked. Nice job!

@SirJavaGaming - Thanks, I'll have to test with FireFox and see what I come up with.
@Daviosmash - 100% agree!

@Everyone else - Thanks :D

Fun game, took me 2 tries. It was a little easy after the call, but i liked the incident near the end. (I don't want to spoil for the others)

ainasg 2014-12-08 23:36

Ricky exited the room wihout any trouble and the others did not? :/

Nice idea, a litle complicated to contol, will play again to try to beat it! Thanks for the game!

I loved how the characters moved diferent depending of their roles

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2014-12-08 23:44

nice! funny and entertaining. like the variation between characters. wish it was longer.

terrytheplatypus 2014-12-08 23:47

I liked it, except I couldn't beat it, I couldn't shred the wires with Chris

flatgub 2014-12-09 03:01

Very interesting!
Well done.

maddestudios 2014-12-09 08:57

I quite enjoyed that! Took me two goes (one for finding out what to do, the other to win it), but I still killed Chris. Oh, well. Very fun.

Lol - yeah I ended up just going for the 'use everything on everything' approach and it worked :P Managed on my second try. Nice little adventure game though the solution wasn't really intuitive enough to figure out by thinking it through. The character bios might have provided some insight (weak stomach, tall, etc) but can you get at them in the game? I didn't see.

Maybe if the guy on the phone didn't tell you exactly what to do, and only explained that you needed to get the knife from the top of the shelf and make a fire at a certain time? Then you could figure out the rest yourself. It'd be more interesting than just following orders.

freed all 4 characters, had to restart about 5 times to try every possibilities i could find, had fun. good entry !

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-10 01:11

Love the commentary! I Included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Kdfz6b6_ebE

@wilbefast Thanks for the feedback, yeh some great points, I was going to tgry and get more interactions in and clues as to what to do in each move but didn't manage it :( (all those items with no interactions!)

Thanks for playing all!

dunin 2014-12-10 21:27

a little nice story. But why use this "tab" system? A simple point n click would be ok (click on the protrait...). As we use the mouse I don't understand why add keyboard control (or make keyboard only like Grim Fandango...)

pete_h 2014-12-10 22:54

^ good point, I did consider adding a click to change character but got distracted by other stuff! lol

trisquare 2014-12-11 00:39

this was the first game that i had completed and actually enjoyed the ending props !

pete_h 2014-12-11 09:43

@TriSquare, Yey! Thanks :D That really means a lot!!!

2014-12-11 10:07

Great stuff :D perfect for the theme and pretty funny especially if you dial the wrong number!

mrexcessive 2014-12-11 13:14

Hi there. TAB key for cycling characters did not work on Web version (Chrome/W8.1). Not rated yet.

alexrose 2014-12-11 15:49

I messed this up a bit. I had Ricky at the door to prop it open, but I clicked "kick it open" and he left and the others all died. Then I killed Chris. Alas.

Fun idea, and well executed. Nice one.

tasteslikefuture 2014-12-11 16:19

Awesome game! I highly suspect Meredith of being in on all of this though, something in her eyes... Great work!

hissssssssss 2014-12-11 17:37

Pretty neat! Small bug: If the lights are off when you die and then you restart the game, the lights are still off.

pete_h 2014-12-11 17:44

Thanks! @TatstesLikeFuture, dial 666 with Meredith ;)
@Hisssssssss Nice spot, thanks! That was originally going to be smoke haha

papygaragos 2014-12-29 19:00

I got stuck after using the phone (whitout the number): I couldn't control anything, so I had to restart
