There seems to be a problem with itch.io page:
[It was fixed]
@lawrence Thanks for the info! It should be ok now, you were super fast :) The game may still change a bit in the next few hours before the end of the Jam. The balance is probably a bit too hard for now passing day 3 but I have time.
Woah it's me! I'm famous!
@wheffle Hehe I didn't even pay attention, I hope you don't mind :D If you do please tell me and I'll change the screenshot ;)
At first I was like, what is this keyboard layout - that's not what I'm typing. :smile:
Great game! I found a secret as well [EDITED] *wink wink*
Good job. :slight_smile:
EDIT: I know it's way out of jam scope, but it would be awesome to have minesweeper in there as well. :smile:
@togis Not a problem, don't mind at all! Looking forward to trying the game out later!
@Lawrence edited wink wink ^^
And minesweeper, yes, we think alike, here was my todo list:

I may still do it but post jam if I'm too dead to code during the next 4 hours.
That's so fun, I love the faithful recreation of the WinXP interface, and it works just realistically enough. Challenging gameplay, lots of fun little jokes, great stuff!
I love the classic Windows OS feel/UI
This reminds me of emily is away. Nice idea and it fits perfectly to the theme.
Oop, had a customer shout at me, turns out that I was typing the wrong response multiple times in a row. On top of that, the game seems to have [blue-screened my computer!](https://i.gyazo.com/2a99373fee65ed0a971543ec4a81ce17.png)
Good job on the game, cool and unique!
@iseeicy Dam! I hope your computer recover, I'm not an expert, but that seems to be a serious issue :p
Thanks for playing my game everyone!
Man this is really clever! here are some particular things I like about your game: - Very INTERESTING game system. It's an interesting commentary about chat support systems and fits really well with the theme of this LD. - In it's own quirky and wierd way, its hilarious. All the sound effects, windows login sound, blue screen of death, pop up windows that will come up while you're mid-sentence. - Everything looks and fits very accurately with Windows XP simulation!
I'd love to see what more can be made out of this, I see your list of future items for thsi game and will look forward to come back and seeing what you add!
Very awesome! Had no idea what to expect. Such a cool idea. Kind of a mix of a windows/customer support parody and a speed typing game. It especially tickled me being able to face-roll the keyboard in the cutscene sections and have my auto response get typed. Super original, extremely well executed, and a ton of fun!
Nice nightmare game! when you don't have choice to answer "yeah sure...", what an horrible clever idea...
I liked it so much
Great game! I got stuck at the start because every time I opened train bot the guy would message me again. Eventually realized he would talk to me in the same IM window.
Otherwise that was well thought out and felt like a real new job. I was learning the responses and it got easier in a way but harder with more customers. Good typing exercise as well.
I have to sleep, so I will continue playing it later x) But the game is really cool ! Great job ! An you know, I have some real problem with my view and I make typos every time, so that game could be hard for me ^^' But anyway ! Cool game :)
Keep coding :) Et au prochain Ludum Dare ;)
@Mathiouza I thought about people with reading issues or dyslexia, I make typing mistakes all the time too. You can reduce the difficulty of the game to allow you to play.
In the start menu - control panel application, slide the "Simplicity" slider to something like 0.5 / 1.0. This will allow you to make mistake 1 letter out of 2. It start's at 0.85 so you have to be 85% accurate but if it's too hard, don't feel bad about changing it.

Very cool concept, and I'm happy to help you reach 20, cool concept! My game also needs one more rating to reach 20, so I feel your pain.
Wow! I have never played a game like this before. Thanks for making such an innovative game with well use of the theme. Games like these make Ludum Dare such a enriching experience. Good job!
Also I'm your 20th rating haha!
eaoh! At first I was like "I absolutely don't want to play this.." Then I was playing it for quite a while ^^
Well done!
Thanks for everyone for playing again, I think you are 21th @Akusan :p @Aaronw won the race.
@Aaronw, let me come to the rescue too :D I'll test your game now.
Super cool concept, and the Windows simulation is quite awesome!
I got tired of typing after a while. As the words aren't real, it was difficult for me to optimize the process by memorizing the answers or typing at full speed. I think that if you somehow manage to procedurally generate real-looking sentences, this could become something seriously fun (and even useful for people learning to type).
I noticed that there's certain "hidden" included application (that may be useful for copying and pasting to optimize the work). That's a nice touch!
All in all, good job! Congrats!
Hopefully I was number 20 for you. I liked it, and I kept playing longer than I thought I would. It was great.
Interesting concept but gets boring quite fast. There also isn't much of a challenge, just searching text in a list very fast and then type something, but that's not really difficult nor fun. But the XP clone looked nice.
Good game buddy !! I really like it, it is fun to play and the concept is really cool. At first I was telling myself, this is gonna be a little boring and a played like 20 minutes without noticing :)
I reminds me a little of "Keep talking and nobody explodes" as you do not know what to answer and have to consult the documentation.
Nice work buddy ! Also I love the settings menu... well the control panel :p
You had me at proceduraly generated language and then this nostalgic windows xp sound! Really nice idea, i can easily see this getting expanded with many things happening at the same time in your desktop like an actual employee in a dystopian futuristic company. Perhaps notifications, chatboxes and emails arriving all the time with tasks and windows and tabs piling up one on top of the other. Good job!
Really fun :-)
Interesting idea, i like this.
Nice entry, I didn't think I will play so long :)
