How does the game fit the theme?
The submitted game is a puzzle escape room game where you are trapped in a burning building with only 1% battery left on your phone. In a scenario where apparently nothing will go wrong, everything does. And now you have to rush to make your friends understand you are in danger by texting them before your battery runs out. Oh, have I told you that your keyboard is not working and you can only use the text predictions? Good luck!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Code was made from scratch, except for repurposing some base code for audio managing. Assets were found during the jam on itch.io (credits in game).

Really great game! i think i would add some new dialoges, but overall, is very fun and new the ideia of the game!
Really good game! I love the concept, it's super unique and very clever! The gameplay is fun, challenging and really funny. I like how sometimes the predictive text leaves you purely with nonsense and you're forced to say complete gibberish, it's very funny. The art is really nice as well, good job! Overall the game is really well made and polished. Good job!
Pretty unique concept. The responses were kinda repetitive tho like what several others have said. I got mom to ask me if i wanted to call 911 and I typed "call" and well... mom just asked the same question...
Great game! I like the concept and the visuals. I panicked a little when my friend thought it was only a joke :')
