Interesting, interesting. I like it! Though the game crashed for me at the start of the second conversation with Dan.

newt_ 2014-12-08 03:52

Yeah, sorry about that! The crashes should be fixed now!

samfreeman05 2014-12-08 04:28

Interesting, I like the concept

victorafael 2014-12-08 04:56

Loved!

By now... I think Dan hates me... I don't want to get back to work and see his face!

I once went on vacation and left my phone charger at home. It didn't matter much, nobody calls me anyway.
Good game, had some really funny moments.

windows only :(
i am on a mac ..
really wanted to play this and see what you have done with conservation simulation

This was actually kinda fun, just being a phone and all.

oh_cripes 2014-12-08 14:30

Really fun, well written, engaging story. Good use of the theme. Top marks!

Good game :D (Btw I may have found the bug, but I don't know how to fix.) And also, mac users, I think you can download the surce and compile it to play.

"It's amazing!" "My phone charger broke."

5/5

tudd 2014-12-08 23:01

Playing a little more... very interesting. Found myself yelling at the phone, saying "please can I just be happy for her?" interesting game interesting choices... deeper than it looks.

Oh I hate the cliffhanger endings! There should be some way to recharge the battery!!

hempuli 2014-12-09 01:24

Wow! Too bad about the bug, but the story is amazing and the dialogue feels very very natural most of the time - I felt that usually the response to what I said was exactly as I thought it'd be. Wonderful! A post-compo version with the smartphone look to a T would be great :) Also incredible use of the theme!

frenzyasii 2014-12-09 01:34

interesting idea :)

resty 2014-12-09 01:58

nice idea, interesting :)

nkornek 2014-12-09 02:12

This is fantastic

chris-mondok 2014-12-09 02:17

Pretty cool. I like the dialog. Also worth noting, the game runs fine on linux in python2.

pixelaborate 2014-12-09 02:18

Absolutely incredible! Compelling story, relate-able characters, and an all around realistic atmosphere. You truly outdid yourself :) .

themonsterfromthedeep 2014-12-09 02:22

I like it. It's creepy and applied to normal-day as well, but is there actually a way to win? It wasn't really clear to me from my first play-through.

newt_ 2014-12-09 02:27

@TheMonsterFromTheDeep There's only one ending as of right now. The story plays out slightly differently depending on whether on not you encourage Dan and how you react to Fayad, though.

deadpixelsociety 2014-12-09 22:48

Funny and fits the theme well.

haslettj 2014-12-09 22:49

I like tacos!

rodobodolfo 2014-12-09 23:11

Best game I've played today! good story... Stupid Dan I hate him xD

trisquare 2014-12-11 00:08

I like the game. . . but not as an actual game if you know what i mean ;)

kad 2014-12-11 00:28

This is the best game I have played today! It's fun, simple, but keeps a smile on my face. Great work! :)

eerongal 2014-12-11 00:50

I found this really enjoyable. It was easy to actually feel like i was having a conversation with the people, and i started to grow a bit concerned as the story moved forward.

phyyl 2014-12-11 00:55

Nice game, lots of content! Is there a battery DLC? ;P

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-11 00:56

Actually surprisingly fun - I wouldn't have thought a game about texting people would be. Nicely written dialogue, and works really well for what it is. Good stuff!

shide 2014-12-17 14:53

Well written, the story is good, though I would've prefer you to implement more of a natural disaster theme than mystical one. Mystic is an easy way:) However this story was really interesting to read and I enjoyed the game like probably none of the other entries I played during this LD

Wanted to leave a comment from our team. We pretty much enjoyed playing it even though we were sceptic if a text game could be good, but you made it wonderful.

It worked me a bit up that i couldnt ask den whats wrong with him (cleary sth was not right "call no authorities..." and the sudden Jonathan). Pls make an end i want to know what happens after dead battery :D

maxmetallica 2014-12-29 19:51

nice work
