Very, very cute. Loved how when I would delete content, it would show me new options. Love the style.

Great style and nice take on the theme.

Funny little game. I liked the hand drawn art style.

synchingfeeling 2015-08-24 05:17

Loved the typing mechanic, great interpretation.

crare 2015-08-24 12:27

funny idea of just smashing buttons for the text :D my keyboards ruined now, thanks!

kaitokidi 2015-08-24 16:42

funny to discover the different conversations, but could have more gameplay i mean different chats or something, anyway i loved it

dusho 2015-08-25 17:18

laggiest UI I ever used :)

sayuri-tagata 2015-08-25 18:33

pretty cute!

kaype 2015-08-26 03:50

Very cute.
The abrupt ending was kinda weird though.

whalebot 2015-08-26 05:32

Cute :) Although to be honest, I didn't see much tie in with the theme other than your picture as a ghost, but meh, it was still fun :)

team_ftlol 2015-08-26 17:36

my favorite part is being able to type like I'm an actor and all the right words come out. haha, that's actually pretty fun! (:

I also really like the look of everything.

it's so absurd, I love it! I wish it was a little longer!

twoscoopgames 2015-08-27 02:25

Really neat idea! I like how you actually have to type, though it gets a little tiring. I'd like to see a blinking cursor, and have key-repeat working.

jmaggard62 2015-08-27 17:35

Hilarious. Loved the typing mechanic

jannesn 2015-08-28 01:52

Really great work! I love more absurd experimental games. The funny thing was I was going to name myself Greg. And then i was confused that i could not enter the age I wanted xD
I tried several times and I thought for a short time that my keyboard broke... a few seconds later I realized what was going on here.

grabengroup 2015-08-28 02:59

nice innovative concept.
i like how you can rewrite stuff. :)

valid4life 2015-08-28 03:08

Nice typing !
Enjoyed the art haha

onionblitz 2015-08-28 03:43

Ahaha, what a cute lil' game. A little short, but I had fun! :D

wg_phancock 2015-08-28 06:55

Took me a minute to realize what was going on with the typing/erasing mechanic, but once I did I laughed at the silliness and cuteness. Then I embraced my inner monster playa and got some monster hookups.

team_ftlol 2015-08-28 19:12

This is great! The art is really cute and I love how you can rewrite your responses. That's such a nice touch.

I played as Zoey one time but still typed out "I'm not a xxxxx kind of guy". Heh. The second time I played, I got to the questions about Grave of Bones and tabbed back to my profile to change it to be all about those shows. It totally worked!

I missed the desktop and the other chat tabs the first couple times, too. I got into a chat with Mark where I typed "I'm 21 years old btw", backspaced, but then couldn't type anything else. Then the screen went black. Not sure if bug or haunting.

Very cute and original
I wish it was longer and somehow harder.

mothdan 2015-08-29 05:03

This is really engrossing! And it feels alot like pretending to drive when you're a little kid with the slap-at-the-keyboard control scheme it allows, I really liked it!

High scores all around.

bthedestroyermc 2015-08-29 06:24

Nice concept. Could be fleshed out more just because I got kind of sick of spamming my keyboard to progress the text so it'd probably work better if the text automatically progressed and tapping back would just clear the whole thing.

Definitely funny though; I was chuckling to myself a few times in there.

daveh 2015-08-29 18:53

Fun idea. I always like things based around fictitious computer systems/programs. As others have said, wouldn't stick with the keyboard to progress text if it were longer, but it was fine for a short burst.

crucknuk 2015-08-29 18:56

Good job! The art style is funny

sparrow 2015-08-29 19:06

Fun idea, you should expand on this and make more things to do :)

tackorama 2015-08-29 19:10

Lots of typing got on my nerves a bit. I liked the humour and wished there was more content to click on.

realize2d 2015-08-30 18:45

It's so funny! Very cute graphics, UI well implemented, and the random texts were fun to the point of me erasing and just typing again to see what would come up. Some music would've made it even better.

buzzwerd 2015-08-31 07:12

I loved the premise and interaction here. I wish there was more!

Shadow 2015-09-01 08:08

This is a REALLY interesting idea! Amazingly well-thought! Loved how different options would appear when you delete what you were writing. Also loved how your profile affects the options. That's BRILLIANT!

There are some bugs here and there that froze the game a couple of times, and some minor "UI" handling weirdness, but this is amazingly well done (UI systems are more complicated than what they look).

Could have used Windows95/98 SFXs for added humor and nostalgia, but I really enjoyed it as it is. :)

Good job mate.

steboots 2015-09-01 22:38

Ha! Nice take on the theme! I felt like I was discovering typing for the first time when I played, trying desperately to figure out how I typed a name that I didn't really type! Cute interpretation!

ethankennerly 2015-09-07 03:17

When I filled out a Monsterbook profile, I smiled. If you continue to develop this, when I continued to press random keys during chat, I felt like I had no choice. I didn't realize I could delete to get another option.

nassi 2015-09-10 10:17

Succesfully romanced fluffymummy, but the game froze after Mark_Mogwai89 said "Oh, just looking for someone :) Maybe someone made rugged and wise by time." and I deleted my first response. Post-compo version running on Pale Moon x64 (a Firefox based browser).

Interesting take on the theme, one I haven't seen before. A bit laggy on parts, but still a solid compo entry.

Hi, my name is spooky sara, and I'm 1208 years old. I like some TV shows that I'm assuming are about vampires, but not episodes 1-3 :). Funny stuff, liked it!

I tried to delete my conversation with someone, but it ended up crashing the game :(

taro 2015-09-14 21:50

The game seem to stop operating on a Mac on Firefox after trying to communicate with Mark_Mogwai for at least 3 conversations :(.

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-13 15:41

Super cool game! Very funny. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/K5Eh9xNFJGY
