The Meaning of Life by Pavel M. Dlouhý

[raw]
made by Pavel M. Dlouhý for LD29 (JAM)
Update2-Advice(3/5/2014): There is a bug in dialogs.
WORKAROUND: To read all dialogs ALWAYS SELECT FIRST RESPONSE until there is not other option then "bye!". I will try to fix it during following days.
Update1(29/4/2014): HotFix: One small bug prevented to finish the game.

Our little "adventure" game is based on Wintermute Engine.
Just download it and execute. Everything should be fine. If not, let us know. Thank you.

TIP: Our game is very short and unfinished.
If you want at least simple "puzzle" then try to find both ways how to reach the surface. :-)

Thank you for playing!

Our team:
Brigita Linerova - art (cca 20 hours)
Vaclav Spiral - music (cca 5 hours - both songs composed and recorded during Ludum Dare)
Pavel M. Dlouhy - program (cca 21 hours)

Loved the self-referencing, existentialist nature of the dialogue :) Was disappointed there weren't really any puzzles to speak of though. Nice music!

42 indeed.

Good visuals as usual. Music was soothing, but maybe a bit too low in volume.

Short but funny. Well done.

Had a nice atmosphere, and was fairly trippy. Could do with a bit more content and some puzzles though :)

Thank you for your comments! I agree with your criticism (to the letter).

If you want at least simple "puzzle" then try to find both ways how to reach the surface. :-)
