I really enjoy playing this game to the end. I like the humour of the narrator constantly "shit-talking" (not sure a better word for this XD) me.

I find the collection of mini games to do quite intriguing and enjoyable yet easy once you get a feel of things. Really solid entry.

Really well done game! The art style was fun and the writing was fun. The only real complaint I have is that the way you moved the blocks felt a bit finicky an I just ended up spamming space bar to get them where they needed to be. Other than that, great game

Short and sweet. I really liked the atmosphere of this game, as well as the humor, could definitely be expanded into a proper narrative experience. The gameplay, however, was confusing to get the hang of at first. It was hard to tell what the action button was actually doing, but once I figured that out, I managed to get through it pretty easily. I think the first section would be better if the interactions were a lot clearer.

not sure what I played but it made me feel unstable. The crowd sound could have been better if you could loop it, but all the other sound effects and music were great. love the piano stuff, the drawings and the ending was funny too. great job!

I think I ran into a bug in the second room, my hand ability got stuck coming from one location. Loved the eerily drawn face mask, well done.

I got the same bug of the hand ability not working getting stuck (was playing the downloaded version). When I switched to playing it on my phone however it worked fine.

Hey, our game also has fire!)) Loved the cinematics. Strange show, but some awesome, indeed.

This game has such an epic and cinematic feel to it. The drama mask is a great character and the narrative made me laugh out loud but uneasy the whole time.

The hand mechanic however took away from the experience I never once felt in control plus it bugged out and disappeared on my so I had to restart twice.

Still I loved this one and want to see more.

Welp, that was a thing. :v It definitely didn't go the way I expected. The mask is a fun character and the things that happen are weirdly eerie even though this isn't a scary game. This is a game that really has no mechanics, it looked like it was establishing a mechanic via the set building scene, but then the hand mechanic never shows up again, you just have to go around a few times and then it's the end. :p That was definitely a bit confusing but your focus must have been on the game's story and stylistic appeal and aesthetic, which I really like.

This very simple and straight forward game. I liked the ending how it stage was on fire and it had to end in tragedy. Lol. Keep up the good work

This game was a very interesting experience. The aesthetics, and overall vibe were unique and the music was very well done. Creepy yet compelling. I just wish there were a little more to it. I finished the game in a few minutes, and the gameplay was somewhat thin. I took it more as a narrative driven experience, and at that it excelled. Thanks for making this, and good luck in the jam.

Very atmospheric game, love the soundtrack, the gameplay was short and simple but easy to understand.

This game has a big unsettling feeling! Well done. I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/_QnfntM1G-4

I like this art style and music. But I'm sorry not to understand this game mechanics.
