Only probelm I had was with the laser beams in the second room. Maybe I'm just bad at games but I couldn't figure out the wait\/go factor in that room.\r\rAs I said I'm probably bad at games and very impatient. I loved the fact you had an inventory and that you could chech each item out. Also kudos for the gamepad emulation (I don't know if it games standard in gamemaker or not).\r\rAll in all a very solid entry! I have to keep my EYE on this one. :P"},{"author_name":"dancingmad","author_uid":"39644","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 1:42pm","epoch":1440509820,"text":"Wow this is an excellent game! Graphics, music and mood are very well executed, and I had fun finishing it!\r\rThe only thing is that it doesn't really fits the theme. Apart from that it's probably one of the best game I've seen in a jam :)"},{"author_name":"Tselmek","author_uid":"48996","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 1:47pm","epoch":1440510120,"text":"This game is really great, the graphics are nice, the atmosphere is well done, the audio is fantastic. The platforming sometimes feel a bit clunky though and the constant gamepad vibrating gets a little annoying.

Great idea, but can be a bit much to have the controller constantly rumbling. Just slow pulses would probably be sufficient."},{"author_name":"freaknarf","author_uid":"46874","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 10:18am","epoch":1440843180,"text":"Cool visuals and music ! I also liked the storytelling and the gamepad rumble idea... Having multiple gameplay styles mixed together, i mean a bit of adventure, a bit of a platformer, is a good idea. Good game start, with a bit unfocused gameplay :)"},{"author_name":"glerikud","author_uid":"55555","time":"Sep 5, 2015 @ 6:22pm","epoch":1441477020,"text":"Nice game. Moody graphics, interesting style, and the music's great. The platforming parts were infuriating, but it was nice. Oh and the drinking mechanic is cool too, though I feel it could've been a little more involved. I don't have any particular ideas though"},{"author_name":"DrZanuff","author_uid":"15108","time":"Sep 10, 2015 @ 11:20pm","epoch":1441926900,"text":"Man!!The Game looks pretty awesome!! Congrats.

The premise is solid, the graphics are great, and the music is absolutely amazing.\r\rThe platforming part seemed really hard; I kept getting stuck on the corners of platforms. Some of the obstacles seemed really difficult to get around, too, requiring study of the scene and careful execution.\r\rI am glad that I own a controller so that I could play this game!\r\r5\/5 would drink 6.5 litres of whiskey again"},{"author_name":"crucknuk","author_uid":"53686","time":"Sep 12, 2015 @ 7:26pm","epoch":1442085660,"text":"Well done on the mood and the audio :)\rfeels immersed and well executed!\r\rnicely done!"},{"author_name":"nihilaleph","author_uid":"49665","time":"Sep 13, 2015 @ 3:30am","epoch":1442114700,"text":"Awesome game! Loved the concept, the artwork, the music, the style! Story was great, really cool effect for Mac getting the red eye!\rI just think that maybe the lack of alcohol could influence more the controls.
