This game REALLY puts things in perspective. Especially when it leaves you hanging after the climax. All of the weird "hints" that show up are nice tidbits.

Nice idea but very short. Could be a very good thriller.

That was a funny game. I laughed after that guy said You are the monster.
*spoiler warning end*

Not much to say here. 'Cutscene' was the best part. You got five stars in theme, humor and mood. Graphics were.. little bit to much pixelated maybe? Audio was, well, audio. I think that theme was used greatly here!

Nice use of the desktop to catch my eye. So I'm not a big fan of thrillers so I was getting kinda nervous, but I love what it did. I think it was really cool that you those browsers to work the way they did. I think that the weird art style really contributed to the eerieness, and I like the build-up that it had. Really love the ending. Unfortunately the downloading part was way too realistic, and the search term was pretty specific. I know that's an appeal for these games, but from a personal standpoint I don't find them very fun. Great job!

Short an really nice. The idea is simple but all the things work together, even the final scene, and the end.
One of the best entry i have seen so far.
And the waiting is so meaningful, and reminds me personal moment.
Nice, short, meaningful! What else?

Loved the heavy thick lines. You were able to create a really cool cyberpunky vibe with the dark room, the glowing monitor, the dust particles. The apps and browser were really fun to click through. nice touch with the automatically generated search results. Loved the bit with the giant download button when the actual link was super tiny. And the show at the end with the coffee mug gave a satisfying ending. Great game!

That was pretty creative! You certainly nailed the mood pretty well... guess playing in a dark room did that for me =)
Excellent job!

Nice playing with the mood. I hoped for a porn after that thumbnail, but was something else :P

Cool game. Is there an "end", or are you stuck after you've viewed the clip and the screen explodes?

Really good entry, and good idea!
I thought there would be something more surnatural with monsters and jumpscares, but i like the way it goes.

Nice entry. I expected things to go wrong when dowloading the file but the cutscene was a brillant idea.

Hilarious entry. Nice pixel art, and a great mood. Bit lacking gameplay wise, but that didn't matter since it was short (the short duration was a good decision).

Very well played. I could say, this one was pretty much one of the best entries for mood and theme.
Jokes on us!
