Quite funny, Nice work !

shyrro 2020-10-05 22:42

Thanks man !

The interface was nice to use, there were lots of drawings, and your writing is pretty funny. It made me chuckle to myself once or twice.

Only thing I might add is if you could make it so that the player can skip to the end of the typewriter text as sometimes it takes quite a while for all the letters to appear.

shyrro 2020-10-05 22:53

Noted ! Thank you for the feedback !

Congrats for the submission! I liked playing your game, the drawings were cute, the sounds were nice. I had some problems though:

1 - You know when you are on a "bad timeline" because decisions stop branching, so you just click the whole way through till you get to the beginning again;

2 - I would love if it had a "click to show the whole text", as waiting for it to tipe itself out got quite time consuming after some time.

With that said, I think you got a really solid idea here, and it could be expanded into a myriad of different games (I kept imagining it as an dating sim, for example). Good work!

Thanks for your feedback @scharma ! Glad you enjoyed it ! We will try and fix that !

The typing sound was quite annoying (maybe a bit too loud). I had choices at the beginning then nothing and clicked many times before reading "Victory", text should appear quicker I guess. Drawings are colorful. Thanks

@narom42 Thanks for the feedback !

Funny story with a good choice of music, I like the way the text animates also. I would have liked more options but I understand the time constraint. The text cuts off on my screen a bit, might just be me though by the looks of it. Overall though it played well good job

@denzil-gomes Thanks for playing the game and thanks for your feedback also ! We are currently working on opening the story writing to more people in order to have more options and fit the initial idea of the game better ! Glad you liked it! We still have issues with some screen sizes and are working on that !

Nice game, especially for a game made by one person. Good job

squidzilla 2020-10-07 09:47

Haha, I accidentally survived the game the first time. No loop :D So I played it again a couple of times to die :) Waking up with a bad dream, that was clever :) Nice music, it adds to the feeling of doing a boring day at the office :D Glad to see other text games out there!

Great work! I love the title screen art. I was able to beat it on my third attempt. It was interesting to see how the character changed based on the choices in the beginning. However, it would've been neat to make some more decisions, but great job with the time you had!

shyrro 2020-10-07 09:51

@kpedatte Thanks for playing the game ! I'm glad you liked it !

@squidzilla ahah yes, the "golden path" is stilk easy to get in the current state of the game ! Thanks for giving it another chance to see the loop logic ! Also thanks for playing the game ! Happy you enjoyed the feel !

I will play your games later guys after i finish my day ! Thanks for the feedback again !

shyrro 2020-10-07 09:54

@rschoellgen Thank you for playing the game ! I agree with you, more choices would be very nice ! I will keep up the work to try and complexify it !

neragoth 2020-10-07 09:56

It's very smooth, I like how the screens switch and how it permits really fast choice... The ambience is very cool aswell and I never thought a simple work day could be so dangerous to die that much! hahaha The drawings are not awesome but they are all appropriate with their given situation. I want to add, even if its not in the rating choices, that the sound design is very good ;)

zaibakk 2020-10-07 10:03

Nice game! The User Interface is a little unpleasant, but overall great entry!

shyrro 2020-10-07 10:04

@neragoth Ahaha beware the work day ! Thank you for playing the game and for your awesome feedback ! Glad you liked the sounds but i didn't compose them, just chose them from a variety of open sounds :p Glad you liked my choice of sounds !

rschoellgen 2020-10-07 10:05

@shyrro I followed you on itch.io and I look forward to it! Good luck :)

Very grim! Really nice artwork and music! The depressing routine hits home.

shyrro 2020-10-07 11:10

@eugenik Thank you for playing and for your feedback ! Happy you liked it !

@fax ahah, i laughed at your comment ! Thanks for playing and for your funny comment ! Made me smile !

fermingimpel 2020-10-07 22:27

good game, i like the programmer art!

shyrro 2020-10-07 22:54

Thanks for the feedback ! Glad you liked it !

Cool looking game, it is very polished! It is tough to make many good branching paths in just 3 days, so even though it didn't seem to branch too much, that is to be expected. Congratulations on the art and on the gameplay, it was very good!

By the way, now there is a screenshot and a Windows port of my game. Feel free to take a look if you want! :)

lychee 2020-10-15 06:15

I liked the dialogue and humor, all the UI was smooth too. I liked your text adventure interpretation of the theme, if you worked on it more you could add more branching paths!
