I love the idea and the story. However, I was not able to drag and drop.

It's funny...when I drink bleach, all that happens is that I start throwing up blood...

Dragging and dropping is possible, just difficult - increasing the sensitivity in your game may be necessary. The jazz muzak loop certainly comforted my dying seconds, though.

Cool idea, but the execution is a bit rough in places.

Iteration loop is too long. Allow us to skip the opening cininematic after the first time.

The Drag and drop controls are not responsive. When i pick up on an object, there is no feedback until i try moving my character. I expected to either hear something, or see the object i'm dragging snap to my cursor and follow my cursor when i turn around like in Portal or Half-life 2.

BUG: the notepad fell through the floor and severely restricted my movement.

I got three items on the desk, but nothing happened. it was the TP, the batteries, and the plant. Some indication that those things don't work together would be nice, if that's a bad combo.

It was very interesting, however I was not sure how to mix things together.

This sounds cool. Mystery with chocolate! I'm in. I wish there was a non-Windows version.

Cool concept. I like the uniqueness of the problem :)

I love the idea and the story. Unfortunately I was unable to drag and drop but that may just be my stupidity. XD Anyway, I thought it fit the theme well. Some things were a little rough like the inability to skip the opening cinematic but I'm sure that was due to time constraints. Good job!

I liked the idea, but I think a lot more could have been done with the execution. I didn't figure out how to drag items until I had about 80 seconds left, because the drag mechanic wasn't very clear or intuitive, so I wasn't sure what to do initially. It's a nice idea, and I think it'd be a good game if the mechanics were worked on just a little bit more.

Loved the idea and mood, and the shear amount of modelling work that must have gone into it is impressive. If only the controls weren't so frustrating (for reasons others have already covered in detail, I probably would have enjoyed it immensely.

I had no idea what to do lol, but I like the music.

Very hard to drag object.

Love the graphics style!

This was a nice game. I loved the jazzy soundtrack and an idea, but dragging objects felt a bit wonky. Good job!

vikpek 2015-04-30 14:05

Graphics are great and a neat atmosphere - but dragging is really hard.

onlyslightly 2015-05-05 04:06

I loved this! The music, and the mood really framed the story really well. I got really happy, realizing the type of game I've gotten into after reading the letter. Beautiful!

Not a bad idea, but needs some polish from a user experience standpoint.

nihilaleph 2015-05-09 00:29

Really cool idea! Great mood! Just had a hard time to grab things, so I was unable to make an antidote xp

cowshark 2015-05-09 00:32

I couldn't pick things up except a notepad, seemed like.
