Was a bit difficult to understand the game setting. Some background info would have been nicer in the game.

But overall nice effort.

Kudos for the music and art

This game was really interesting; I liked how surreal everything was, and I just couldn't stop laughing as I was trying to figure out what was happening, especially after vomiting 3 times.

I think I eventually got the hang of it and understood what you were going for. I think (?) I managed to beat the rat puzzle before I got rekt by the manager for being generally rotten.

Was very entertaining overall, though could certainly use a bit more guidance for the player of some sort.

I don't really understand what exactly happened in your game, but it was an interesting experience.

Nice mood and interesting character development. Keep up the good work!

Feels like 3 a.m. on Adult Swim. Nice style. And the way things look when you're trashed. Rot is crusty AF. Even after I've had some coffee it's hard to get those damn hot dogs. I'd play the full game.

That music! Pretty great haha. Got wasted and killed some rats. Good game. Walking felt a bit slow though.

I really like the shdaing. How did you get that? Is this some kind of post-processing effect

Looks like a puzzle exploration but I'm stuck in the hot dog thing. So I'm not sure how to rate it. The first rat thing is good.

I couldn't really figure out what my objective was or how the rot-o-meter worked. Very atmospheric, nice music. The "glitchy" and shading graphics fit the tone but i found it distracting, the illustrated characters on the other hand were great.

This game is terrifying, the graphic music and the general just scary. When I filled the rot o metre the first time I was so scared a monster was going to kill me. Great game.

The 2d art is quite nice, though I'm really confused what i'm doing.

This game was awesome! I was pretty curious but i couldn't get past the hot dogs, i threw a bottle at them and then ran out of ideas. So creepy and so awesome, really fucked up and weird aesthetic :)

You've prepared an awesome experience! Loved everything (especially sound design and particle system that you used for vomitting) about it except for the menu design (the laziness of controls screen is dissonant and doesn't fit general style).

Great idea for a game! The whole style was really really good, nice job on the graphics! After 4 attempts I still wasn't hugely clear on the effects of all the items, but I get the direction you were going for. Kudos!

Nice! I like the vibe. Walk speed could be a bit faster, although I realize it was probably intentional for some of the puzzles. Didn't get past the rat puzzle, while trying to figure it out I got the max coffee effect which was pretty unbearable :P This would be pretty cool with some tweaks & more content, nice work!

@adhesion for the record the walking speed being so slow was a glitch we encountered right before upload and couldn't figure out how to fix. You were ment to move slow but not that slow. Thank you for playing!
