So anyway, this game is great.
I did manage to get both keys and shut down everything in the end. I didn't even expect that to be an option.
Good job! :thumbsup:
Thank you so much for making this masterpiece but I think I've had enough microwaved donuts for a while.
NOT a fun game, but I'm eager to watch someone else, more competent, playing it, and going where I couldn't go. (Update: yay I end it thanks to the keys, but I don't think I would go see the hidden content.)
The music, the graphics, all contribute to a bright, gaudy and tensed atmosphere. It's not a lot of gimmicks, but there are complex enough to send you to panic (I chose to forget you need to be fed and hydrated, not that I went far enough to be bothered).
I was lost at the colour bars. aaaaa
My criticism is that dialogues were too dense and they're not very visible. Sure it contributes to the stress but this and the tenseful situation made me read fast, and I didn't grasp all the details. It's a shame because they seem to be great and satirical.
Also it would have been nice if what you grabbed was made clearer.
Thankfully, short enough to not destroy you, but you have to replay many times to not lost time.
One bit of feedback would be to make the textbox static rather than shaking with the rest of the world as it made the reading very difficult.
That's just an opinion that won't be reflected in notation of course as the product is fantastic !
