very fun!!! great job :)

Wow so I gotta say if anyone figures out the confirm numbers puzzle on their own I'll eat my hat. The rest of it made me feel really smart figuring it all out. Absolutely hilarious game, I was rolling the whole time, great job.

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 01:52

@luizamuller @quinn-patrick Thanks for playing it you guys!

im5x5 2021-04-27 02:16

This was surprisingly fun considering I basically deal with this IRL.

mech-alina 2021-04-27 02:23

Love the startup sound at the beginning. Major nostalgia.

cope 2021-04-27 02:30

Fun game.

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 02:31

@im5x5 Ha ha! thanks! That's encouraging to here. I was worried I might have accidently made the most boring game ever. XD

supergamersgames 2021-04-27 02:38

That was hilarious. Even though it probably didn't need most of my messaging additions I did it anyway.

@quinn-patrick I actually figured that one out quickly. I only used the walkthrough once because I was confused why the monkey wasn't taking my "bannana" (Spoiler Alert: turns out I've been spelling banana wrong this entire time).

This game was hilarious! I had a ton of fun playing this. My only complaint is that the text speed is quite slow so you have to wait a bit for the email to load. I loved your interpretation of the theme and very nice nostalgia factor -- high scores for me!

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 02:51

@supergamersgames Lol that's hillarious. I had to look it up as I was making it and I thought it had two "n"s as well. XD

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 02:52

@emily-pitcher Thanks for the feedback! You can hold the left-mouse-button to speed up the dialogue but I probably should have added an option to skip the animation!

I had a lot of fun writing silly elaborate emails about how I was going to send an army of bees to their offices if they don't give me my dog.

There was a bunch of emails that also went:

Subject: DOG

Body: give dog

I loved everything about this game! But people who play it offline might not be able to do the translations for the binary sections (unless they're a programmer obviously). That's a minor nitpick in an otherwise fantastic entry. Great work dude!

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 03:01

@phobos001 Thanks for playing! That's a good point about the binary translations. Currently the game in only available in browser but that will be something to keep in mind if I upload a Windows port.

Fun

theseusinabottle 2021-04-27 03:24

I liked this. Big thanks to the help desk for the walkthrough because I am a first class smooth brain so I quickly found myself in high water and not sure what to do. I absolutely loved the portraits in this game and how they qucikly went from "Yeah that a person" to "Thats not a man thats a red rombus in a suit!". TL;DR Gib d0g plz.

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 03:24

@gonzalo-barrionuevo :) thanks!

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 03:29

@theseusinabottle Thanks so much! XD

yobiscus 2021-04-27 05:44

Awesome. I'm not sure how you did it, but I'm impressed that my vague responses were accepted by the recipients. Well done, thanks for the laugh :)

dude-the-hero 2021-04-27 18:04

@yobiscus Thanks for playing it! I can't tell you how I did it though, that's a trade secret. ;)

mandarad 2021-04-28 14:49

I can't tell you how much I adored playing this. Thank you so much for allowing copy paste functionality as well, much appreciated :stuck_out_tongue:

Fantastic job!

david-u 2021-04-28 15:39

100% accurate simulator about dealing with customer support. 10/10 watermelons.

dude-the-hero 2021-04-28 19:17

@mandarad Thanks so much for the kind words! The copy paste functionality literally broke as soon as I uploaded it to itchio. I spent the whole submission hour panicking and trying to patch it back in lol.

dude-the-hero 2021-04-28 19:19

@david-u Thanks so much for playing it! I hope I didn't give too many people PTSD flashbacks from customer support experiences. I know it was a little traumatic for me to make at times! XD

gramozilho 2021-04-28 20:22

What a banger! Had a lot of fun reading the emails. The start was painfully close to dealing with university matters online ahah visuals and sounds fit the experience very well, congrats!

dude-the-hero 2021-04-28 20:39

@gramozilho Haha! Thanks so much! University matters were actually the primary inspiration for the game lol.

carraka 2021-04-28 22:46

Such a heartwarming story! Definitely one of the most original interpretations I've come across so far. Lookit this doggo I will wade into customer service hell for you, puppers, won't I, puppers?

wizard-sino 2021-04-29 00:09

Hoorah! fun fact, my emails slowly became less coherent as the game went on. in the end they were just

Want dog. How? Sad.

wandersen 2021-04-29 03:01

This is a great entry with pretty good art to boot. I had fun changing my e-mail persona from psycho back to pleading back to just 'give doge'.

dude-the-hero 2021-04-29 03:10

@carraka @wandersen @wizard-sino Thanks so much for playing it guys!

vanleiden 2021-04-29 15:58

Awesome game, 5 stars all around from me!

dude-the-hero 2021-04-29 17:25

@vanleiden Wow! thanks so much!

ismael-rodriguez 2021-05-01 01:13

Way more fun than expected! Good job! Are there any hidden Easter egg e-mails? :thinking:

dude-the-hero 2021-05-04 05:18

@ismael-rodriguez Thanks! There is one hidden easter egg/email. It's pretty hard to find though.
