I was unable to click on anything.

starchypancakes 2015-12-14 03:17

Very clever interpretation of the 2-button theme.

realbogart 2015-12-14 03:17

Nice to see some voice acting! Cool game

ultravisitor 2015-12-14 03:18

Amazing! I am hesitant to spoil what I found. I don't think I found the super secret ending. Maybe. There was a long speech and I really didn't know what was going to happen and then.. !

socapex 2015-12-14 03:19

Wow! So good :D

occamsrazor 2015-12-14 03:19

That was, without a doubt, one of the coolest LD entries I've ever played. Just extremely cool all around - reminded me a lot of games like The Stanley Parable.

Need to play other games, but I'm definitely coming back to try and get more endings!

Only complaint was, ya, the controls/clicking was a little clunky at times. Took me a while to get myself sitting down :P

jamesmowery 2015-12-14 03:20

I really liked this. I didn't get to explore all the endings, but it's pretty good. The only issue is that the controls are a bit tough on the web version, especially when you can't see your mouse cursor. I'm sure it's a limitation of the web version though, so no worries. But all good! Thanks for putting this together!

naoistheguardian 2015-12-14 03:20

I'd love to try this one, but it just came up with an error

holyblackcat 2015-12-14 03:21

I found your secret ending.
I'm not a big fan of this kind of plots, but the game is not bad, good job. Also, nice mood.

alarmed-dino 2015-12-14 03:21

Love it! i know the psychological experiments this was based on ;)

hd_ 2015-12-14 03:22

Unfortunately either due to my headphones being busted or the web version not doing so, the sound for the screams wasn't coming through. But very cool otherwise !

rynman56 2015-12-14 03:22

Loved the voice acting! And loved the wrong ending! Nice job

hd_ 2015-12-14 03:23

Oh, and on the web version the button press isn't exactly centered on the screen.

eviljake29 2015-12-14 03:26

Amazing Game. Especially the fact that it's based off a real psychological experiment. And the multiple endings were great.

mf1214 2015-12-14 03:26

Very eerie. Nice voice acting too.

move127 2015-12-14 03:27

I should have known what was coming when I saw the title. That was awesome. The voice acting was great.

cxsquared 2015-12-14 03:41

I really enjoyed this and didn't not see that special ending coming. It was a nice take on the theme and you did a good voice over.

sydan 2015-12-14 03:48

Brilliant voice over. Very impressive concept. Amazing hidden ending. 5 stars.

zatch 2015-12-14 04:09

Really nice presentation!

jacksonskinghotmail-co-uk 2015-12-14 04:19

Excellent work.

pixelguff 2015-12-14 04:22

Haha. great work. I found the secret ending! :)

krashja 2015-12-14 04:46

Nice Work!!

zybit 2015-12-14 04:47

Took a while to figure out how to sit, the hitbox was bit higher than expected. The rest of it was pretty cool though. +1 for the history lesson.

misson20000 2015-12-14 05:25

That was amazing. The only thing is that it's kinda hard to aim at the buttons properly sometimes

trueboolean 2015-12-14 05:26

The voice acting is pretty good. Nice secret ending, you totally got me.

fanttum 2015-12-14 05:51

Solid idea. And I deff agree on downloading it to make things faster, but having the web option there is nice. Not much "gameplay" really here. Made me think of a watered down Stanley parable maybe.

boundtotheearth 2015-12-14 06:24

Nice concept and voice acting. Definitely one of my favourite interpretations of the "two button" theme

naoistheguardian 2015-12-14 06:36

Wow. I would say something else, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone else.
Unfortunately, I found the secret ending first...
But great idea.

irwatts 2015-12-14 07:18

Other than minor mouse targeting issues, this was fantastic. Voice acting may be first pass, but there is a surprising amount of it and it messaged fine. Awesome style!

bazz_boyy 2015-12-14 08:48

Hey, Nicly designed game. I didn't like the dialogue though or the story or whatever you wanna call it. I could see where you were going with it. Very well executed.

evannex 2015-12-14 09:12

Great game! I got all three endings. The chair was a little hard to click on though.

honcho 2015-12-14 09:14

Great work on audio! Loved the idea you played out in this game. Hope that you actually take the data and share online on who pressed red and green :D

arowx 2015-12-14 10:03

Nice Work.

Classic experiment (might have taken it too far thought), but you missed the impact of having an authority figure in a white coat with a clipboard give you the test.

Also needs an aiming crosshair/dot, interaction highlighting or a bump into to get onto chair thing.

svenfrankson 2015-12-14 10:12

Great work !

miznoruri 2015-12-14 11:14

Really love this! I found all of endings! great job!

cyranh 2015-12-14 15:56

I was playing this and I thought to myself "this is one of those experiments that actually happend right?" before the narrator even brought it up. This just recreates the experiment perfectly. Great game, perfect execution.

gins 2015-12-14 16:04

That was quite an experience!
Found all three endings, great voice acting :D

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-14 16:30

Stanley's Parody like game. So many good recorded dialogs! This is a very nice entry to this Jam.

kapura 2015-12-14 17:24

Wonderful interpretation of the theme! I had trouble sitting in the chair for some reason; maybe having just a dot crosshair would be useful. Other than that it was a fantastic execution!

huginn18 2015-12-14 17:37

Great game but little crosshair would be nice.

peterthehe 2015-12-14 18:11

Brilliant!

iamspencer 2015-12-14 18:53

hahahaha you motherfucker, you actually made me jump with the secret ending haha

very cool and interesting game, the voice acting was actually pretty good and funny enough to make me find all 3 endings. Nice simple idea/concept, but executed very well. A very good Ludum Dare submission,

Excellent job! :)

rhythmlynx 2015-12-14 19:11

Strong Stanley Parable vibes from this, great job!

buffalophil 2015-12-14 19:54

Great setting! Very cool

zeezgames 2015-12-14 21:11

By far my favorite game i have seen...

The whole test subject was amazing way of the two button controls :) i loved being in the electric chair ad jumping when the voltage hit me lol

Well Done!

zarkith 2015-12-14 21:20

...AND THE THEME IS JOHN CENA!!

That third ending got me so hard, well done! XD

riftpoint 2015-12-14 21:32

Wow! This game is very cool! Really liked the mood

ildfuglen 2015-12-14 21:53

This was a lot of fun! :D

punkto 2015-12-14 23:49

Very interesting... experiment. Very nice use of voice. Congrats!

blake_lead 2015-12-14 23:55

That is a neat game. Very Pro

aeveis 2015-12-15 05:15

Very nice voice acting and writing! I thought the writing for the secret ending was not as good, up until the ending.

iantttianttt 2015-12-15 05:55

john cena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That scared me~
lol

walaber 2015-12-15 06:28

nice work! cool to see voice acting (and it's pretty good too!). Multiple endings make it fun to play through a few times trying different things.

adamalexander 2015-12-15 07:05

Very cool! I thought this game made excellent use of the two buttons and was hilarious and informative. Very well done!

dranolix 2015-12-15 07:16

Incredible. That secret ending was simply amazing.

logon13 2015-12-15 09:24

Wow the voice acting is amazing. I really love the models you have used.

pete_h 2015-12-15 10:57

Great entry! Voice acting & art are superb, read about those experiments recently, very interesting stuff! Didn't find the 3rd ending :( & a cross hair would have been handy!

captainred_ 2015-12-15 14:17

I enjoyed this entry, great concept, keep up the good work.

mintarcade 2015-12-15 14:43

Very well executed. I mean theme, of cource. ;)
Averythings is seems very polished. Need more endings...

retraffic 2015-12-15 14:48

This is awesome! Great take on the theme.
It could be a bit more dramatic in the end and the mouse input wasn't clear enough. At first I ran around the room trying to sit down. However you can only sit down if you're behind the chair. That was a bit confusing. Maybe just add a point in the center of the screen with a mouse symbol when you can click something.

yamzho 2015-12-15 16:17

That is a strong experience !

recursor 2015-12-15 20:08

Wow. That guy was evil. I was disturbed, and I couldn't continue to push the red button. I was hooked the minute the experiment was explained though. A very neat idea and well executed.

pjimmy 2015-12-16 00:45

hey doc, where's my money?! :D

split82 2015-12-16 01:48

Amazing. Really amazing :) Great voice acting.

adwards 2015-12-16 04:04

Good concept, but the plot and atmosphere could have be better though, it seems too “just as expected" somehow

kunonooni 2015-12-17 00:27

BEST.GAME.EVAR! LOL! I truly loved this game, found the super secret ending as my first ending. Also got the other 2 and laughed the whole time I was play! The voice acting really draw you in. Well Done Sir! :D

ithildin 2015-12-17 00:36

I already knew about the experiment, so I was kind of expecting most of what I saw in the game (!!!), but still, I LOVE the entry: you've taken a deep, interesting topic, applied a very fitting mechanic and created a very solid entry, with awesome voice acting. Congratulations!

kennethlng 2015-12-18 08:09

Absolutely hilarious. Did not see that coming, for all endings.

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-12-18 08:22

Really awesome entry! Really made me question myself. I literally jumped out of my seat on the secret ending. The voice acting was quite good.

vortex 2015-12-18 14:23

Found someone else who had a similar idea to me :)
I really liked your game, and how it looks and sounds.
The first time I played, I only had my left earphone in my ear, so I didn't get what was going on.

I replayed the game while writing this comment, because it bugged me, that I only found two endings...
Guess whose Humor score just went up to 5 stars!!!!
Really great game

batmanasb 2015-12-18 20:54

Gawd damn it, you got me so good! This might be more hilarious than The Stanley Parable!

codexus 2015-12-18 20:58

The title kinda spoiled it. Good voice acting!

pusty 2015-12-18 21:01

the narration is amazing! I had so much fun! This game is very well made, I wish more games would be like this one :D

leaden 2015-12-18 21:46

I want to be polite as I can. Please, don't take it close to your heart. I know, sometimes truth can hurt. But to be honest, your game is fucking awesome.

donar 2015-12-18 22:02

Dude, you heared that a lot but this is awesome. So far my favourite.

It might not be the game with the most complicated code or the best 3D Models but that doesn't really matter, does it? You did a great job on the voice acting, it didn't get boring just listening to you and well, the secret ending blew my mind ... I was not expecting that.

jsmars 2015-12-18 23:57

Great take on the theme and well executed! Would be nice to be able to skip dialog second time around to try to find alternative endings..

ssodelta 2015-12-19 01:49

Omg I got a chok maan !! Hahaha...nice game tho. And Really nice voice acting! ;) top noch

rfdshir 2015-12-19 01:53

The game cuts to the quick. Small, simple, but with meaning and atmosphere. Something that I like!

verrazano 2015-12-19 01:56

the new rick roll...

kortuga98 2015-12-19 06:24

Hey everybody, thank you for your comments and kind words - I placed this submission in my personal portfolio that was submitted to colleges as a body of work, and it's my strongest piece to date; as of today I've been accepted to my top choice game design program and I just wanted to thank people like the LD community for giving me the confidence and support I need to pursue my passion.

Thank you all.

rijnswand 2015-12-19 16:23

Awesome! Your secret ending gave me a big scare! :D

ointment 2015-12-19 17:59

Well, this was a pretty memorable entry. I guess this sort of stuff can come from the two-button theme too.

I found the third ending too. List of things I didn't expect: that fucking thing.

kortuga98 2015-12-19 19:28

matiasbontempo 2015-12-19 21:42

I loved this. It seemed like The Stanley Parable. If you haven't played it, please DO. I got so scared with one of the endings hahah!
Thanks for this!

bumblepie 2015-12-20 04:06

Story games like this one always impress me. I have no idea how people manage to find the time to write stories during the short time in the jam. I would definitely recommend that everyone tries to find all 3 endings, or else you won't really appreciate this. One suggestion would be to be able to skip some dialogue you've already listened to.

roaringcatgames 2015-12-20 04:10

Someone in our stream posted this to play (and later owned up to it not being their game) but super glad we played. THe Secret ending was quite....Unexpected. Worth. Great entry, and the voice acting was spot on. Good story/mood/environment/etc.

dreyan 2015-12-21 03:43

Fantastic game. Loved the writing, and based on a really interesting topic. Congrats!

inbetweengames 2015-12-21 06:47

Super creepy. Title is a bit of a spoiler though. Loved the colour blind assistance!

publicidadeba 2015-12-24 01:53

This is going to my second TOP5 list for sure!

batmanasb 2015-12-25 07:50

Hey Kortuga, I know this is a little weird but do you have a twitter account? I wanna follow you ;)

randomhuman 2016-01-02 16:00

Funny stuff, loved the voice acting and the art style.

seconddimension 2016-01-03 12:05

That was excellent, good job. Really enjoyed the voice work and the unique take on the theme.

rayriver 2016-01-06 04:32

Really awesome!
I thought the super secret ending is like Prisoner's Dilemma or something...
