not sure what happened but the monitor said "Enter" then I couldn't do anything.. Art looked cool though
Woah! So amazing! Yup, 5-star innovation rating for this one, for sure! And for mood too! Wow, I really love so many parts of this. It took me a while to figure out getting into the next layer the second time, but the layers/inception is so cool! I love the art progression. The simple sounds are great too. So much fun!
Was afraid that I might press "exit the game" one too many times :scream_cat:
@johnwayyyne Go near the computer and press enter
@rainbows-are-fun got it! thanks!
The inception idea was awesome. At first i thought it was bad game design to not know anything about the goal or the controls but after a while I think everyone understands it. Clearly best innovation and mood by far!
So interesting idea, it was difficult to understand the meaning and mechanics at first, funny, not bad!
More an existentialist piece of art regarding the future of artificial consciousness than a game...LOVED IT.
Love the mood of the game, and how it gets increasingly dreaming as it goes.Games_are_So_Much_Fun_uUTN1cxO09.png
Took me a while do understand that I needed to click on the actual CPU, already thinking that the computer was on and that I was glitched or something. But then it became a short, interesting experience. Superb execution! 👍🐳
Nice game ! Indeed we both came with a similar idea, but a different execution. Amazing game & cool art !
Really cool!
Haha - a bit too artsy for me. But I like that you made it! Cool idea
Cool interpretation of the theme. Was a little confusing at first, but I liked it after figuring out what I needed to do. Something about the game just feels good, and it's really relaxing.
Wow! Exiting the game was intense! Great concept + soundeffects are very atmospheric. Well done!
If anyone says games aren't art, I'll point them here. This was a very fun concept and definitely not what I was expecting haha! Good job
The Art was great. I love games that change up the traditional art style.. Unfortunately I couldn't progress in the game because when I clicked the computer nothing would happen.. I also believe your calling an audiosource every frame when moving because I get a loud buzzing audio..
I love the concept, very meta. I had good laugh as the art style got more simplified or abstract. Reminds me of Rick and Morty episode with the car battery mini universes.
@spawncampgames The loud buzzing sound is intentional. Are you clicking the CPU or the monitor? You are supposed to click the CPU, and press enter near it after the computer starts, and do the same in the next 2 rooms.
@rainbows-are-fun i thought i spammed it all.. I will try again tho! :)
I expected it would get dark, but not like this!
Hehe, layers of virtual reality :)
Nice interpretation of theme and surprising entry.
Mood was layed nicely with so small things as different resolutions and little sounds.
Nice game! I really liked the graphics, and how they got less and less distinguishable in each room. Sadly though I can't tell whether I completed the game, or just can't figure out the puzzle to progress. (There's a label "end" on the bottom right corner, but it doesn't seem to respond to my clicks. Clicking, jumping, and pressing enter everywhere didn't work either. Is the label saying that that's the end of the game?) I also had issues figuring out what "clicking on the computer" meant, but I actually like that it means the literal computer. I don't know if it was meant to be that way or not, but it feels kind of like a nice trick puzzle or something - since most people, me included for a bit there, assumed that the monitor was what was needed to be clicked. Overall, nice. Well done!
@eoshadows Thanks for playing my game and for your opinion on it. I am glad you liked my little puzzle. Yes, the label "end" means that this is the end of the game, but it is a fake ending (in this room you can only jump, move, and press Esc). At this point the player should realize that the game ended and try to quit pressing "Esc" and "Exit the game", and then he will discover something strange. Do it many times and you will find the real ending.
Really nice game
Interesting and innovative game. Nice!
Don't know if is just me, but i found the game i little confuse. Don't know what i should do when 'pressed enter'. I go to the second room and...well. Buuuut, i really liked the art, theme and music, so i see that it deserves an update, maybe!? haha. Great work on everithing, and if you can give me some tips or make some tutorial in the game, just let me know that i should play it again! :)
@lrvstudios Thank you for your comment, I am glad you liked the game. I am not sure about an update, but I want to remake the game completely. In the second room do the same thing you did in the first, click the computer and after it starts, go near it and press "Enter". Do the same thing again in the third room. The fourth is the end of the game, press "Esc" and "Exit the game" until the game closes. Thank you for playing.
Replayed it! I really liked the ending - it was so innovative, and pretty dark. I think providing a prompt to press ESC at the end of the game would have been nice, as the ending would have been a whole lot more shocking if I stumbled across it myself - unless you meant it as kind of a puzzle. I realize that would be pretty neat, although a good portion of people like me might never realize it was an option. Still though, I really liked it. Well done!
Ahhh thanks for the walkthrough! Very cool concept. Best enjoyed with a gin & tonic. Quite zen! Thanks for sharing!
Nice take on the theme, creative idea, vibrant art: the trifecta for a game like yours :)
After I figured out game is not point and click but WSAD + mouse then the things started to be very interesting :D Congrats, cool idea!
