Really awesome concept! I'd love to see it with more fleshed-out dialogue. It would be nice if the player could tell what the bar at the top meant (I was able to figure out more full meant more stability, less full meant less stability, although it wasn't initially apparent). Also liked it when the game broke the 4th wall!

After a few failures I managed to stabilize the timeline! Some good humour to the game and a cool take on the theme. Nice one :thumbsup:

A very interesting game, I went for the pure chaos lol. Great job!

Cool concept, really liked the idea of timelines, and that it randomized each time. Was able to destabilize a few timelines lol.

I am delighted. This is delightful. I wish there was so much more of this but the humor is spot on, it is intuitive and fun and easy to play again and again to see what happens if I tell Moses the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. I also learned that Joe Biden is not Batman. Useful information.

I enjoyed your game a lot, it was a really unique concept!! I wished to have more dialogue to play, but great job!!

Really good game. A little bit short but as is expected when a game is made in 2-3 days. The writing is really well done and each encounter I found myself amused.

So interesting idea! I really have fun to play this game! Thank you!)

What a fascinating game! I have a real soft spot for these kinds of thought provoking ambiguous narratives. The concept itself was also quite unique and fit the theme perfectly. Well done!

Some nice replay value here! A short but neat experience!

I really liked the game! Was a bit difficult on me but I managed to get a hang of it! Great job!

This game was really funny and creative! It was a bit difficult when I had to influence people I didn't know, but that's me. I loved the style of the game, and it was very fun to play.

Woke up Joe Biden > Enraged him > Won game. 10/10

Cool concept! The idea is very interesting.

It was enjoyable for what it is. Despite some replay value it made me wish you did more dialogues but I guess you got.. Lost in time?

This was fun and a great concept! The wrong options were soooooo tempting, they made so much more sense than the "correct" stuff. "Life is like a box of chocolate" lol. Made me wonder what all those people would think if they really heard all that.

As for constructive feedback - I think I've seen this problem in pretty much all LD games with this type of text interface - the typing is annoyingly slow and I'd love to have a way to speed it up; also some audio track would be lovely!

Also, nice to see a narrative-based game on LD - we made one as well, not too many of those around :)

Great executed concept that fits the theme well! It was really fun to play the game and mess around with timelines!

gord10ahmet 2021-10-05 23:35

Great game!

As someone else said, I wish the text was faster.

The game is of great humor in all the examples. The idea of fixing the time line by talking to people is awesome.

ollieoa 2021-10-06 13:01

It had a few funny moments, but at the end of the day I just wanted to play as a shitpost memelord and I feel like that wasn't respected :stuck_out_tongue: Still, a good concept, but if I had some criticism it would be less dialogue clicks and more dialogue skipping! Great work though

uglyswedishfish 2021-10-06 15:19

Lovely concept! Just wish it was a little longer. All of the examples had funny stuff in them as well.

fiakaiera 2021-10-08 15:32

I really like this concept! It's funny a few good moments, but I'm not going to lie since I don't live in the US, I don't know much about Biden.

I don't have to say much to improve much, but I can't stop thinking of a whole story that revolves around a whole drama in the perspectives of different people that YOU HAVE to make happen or else the timeline will end up unstable! Who knows that could be a really interesting take on the same concept, but it's not tied to history. Definitely an avenue to pursue if you want to make this a full game.

laurari 2021-10-08 20:18

really nice game! I love the idea and played several times to see all the dialogs!! I would just ask for the text to load more quickly (or at least when clicking or something), I like to read fast :sweat_smile: good job!! :smile:

hitchh1k3r 2021-10-14 04:09

This was really cool. It reminded me vaguely of Quantum Leap ^_^ I played it a few times to navigate the dialogue with "Unknown". I liked the idea of a dialogue tree with a correct answer, but wish the text would have printed out faster/been skipable. Good job.
