Okay. Officially one of the best games of LD50. My favourite part was the date, so great. Humour was on point, love the text chains, player character was super cute, and audio was fitting. At first it thought it wqas bug that after I got a close contact and told I had to remain in the house, but I could still totally leave the house with no consequences, but then I was like "Oh, I get it". Condolences from QLD.

Unfortunately at some point there was a bug that made it impossible to continue, i got in close contact with an npc and got confined in the house, but for some reason the 2 npcs that were in the park spawned in my house as well, and then the "return to your home" message kept appearing endlessly. But i like the cartoon/paper hand drawn style, and the "badeeng" sound effect for incoming messages was hilarious lol.

@saryah Thank you so much for the lovely words! Let's just call the "NPCs appearing in your house after you've been put into quarantine" _emergent gameplay_. That is, of course, a bug. :laughing:

From the whole Melbourne Simulator team, thank you!! :heart:

@mikado Thanks for the kind words, and yes, I am so sorry for the "NPC is in your house" bug - I am personally responsible for that one! Not sure if the LD rules permit bug-fixes, but if we can, I'll definitely fix that one up!
