The Clinic

This was a nice game(and made for the compo wow) The music is very good, as I'm writing this comment it's still running in the background because it's very soothing. I jumped right into the game and didn't read about being able to use keyboard so I was struggling a bit(that's on my poor motor skills though, it's good that it's challenging). Also I'm happy you found my game because we on the same wavelength. Only downside is I was so focused on clicking I didn't really get a good look at the changing imagery, just peripherally.

Wonderful atmosphere, the way the art is done with the brushes visible has a charming feel to it matching well with the thoughtful ideas!

Note: Not sure if it's my computer, but in the first half of the game, the text disappears when clicked (though I had done so to make all the text appear at once instead of waiting). This is fixed in the latter half of the game.

Cool game! Would love to see more chapters

I really enjoyed this game. The narrative was fun and playful while not taking away from the topic. Plenty of mood to this one and an interesting form of interactivity. Great job!

Cool idea! One suggestion: you might want to add a little buffer to the left and right of the triggers, before the mouse is "out of frame" so to speak. It felt like I had an inherent desire to not click outside the window, from a history of playing browser games and having that be an issue. Perhaps my own "trauma" from past web gaming experiences showing up :P

Nice work!

Art: charming!

Music: tremendous!

Theme: great!

Left and right click mechanic: I kinda hate it. Not sure why, it just didn't seem like it added anything for me.

That's my only complaint though - other than that an even _longer_ traipse through Shakespearean psyche flashbacks would be nice! Great work!

It took me a while to get into the rhythm of the tapping but once I got it in my muscle I felt it could have lasted longer (something is relaxing about doing the back & forth as it turns out ^^). On small improvement I could see would be to give a bit of time after a player succeeds the tapping just to see the pictures and feedback the them that they "won", as opposed to immediatly going into the dialogue, which is similar to the fail state. Otherwise, nice work :)

Great mood, great audio, great art - not generally my cup of tea for a game BUT it is a fairly polished gem :)

Nice audio, it fits well with the atmosphere of the dialogues, and I also liked the graphic design. I guessed it was about a Shakespeare's character being psychoanalysed but unfortunately I don't know his works enough to grasp the significance of the idea.

In term of gameplay however I found it a bit weak and I was also a bit disappointed that the images were the same each round. So let's go deeper ;)
