Really enjoyed this one. ^^ Was fun getting to know all the different characters and trying out the different dialogue options. Some options felt quite frustrating tho when your character went a full 180 on what you think they are gonna say. XD But one could say that is part of the challenge, lol.
Art of the characters is great and I like the Win7 Aero aesthetics. A little unfortunate there is no sound, not even basic UI clicking noises. Also nice reference to your previous FGJ entry with Mr. Toadington as a datable option. ^^
Sadly itchio blocked out any audio output in our vue.js app. We have a download able Version aswell as a link to our own webserver hosting where the music plays. But we had no more time to ad clicking sounds.
overall a fun experience!

here's a recording of my playthrough
The Windows 7 style gave me so much nostalgia and the game, although very simple, never ceased to surprise me or give me a good laugh. It feels really good to achieve a good ending (managed to get a total of 3), especially when you are expecting a bad one. If only it had some sound effects and maybe a background music, like the Windows 7 login sound effect to max out on the nostalgia or some notification sounds when you receive a new message.
I also think that the dialogue sometimes goes really fast with the characters sending 4 messages in less than 2 seconds but that's not really a big deal, just a minor detail. I also got softlocked twice, but the game is still great !
We had music but the itchio player is blocking it. But it resizes the game better there.

Love the Windows aesthetic and character art! A bunch of fun scenarios, too—just wish there was a special fail state for getting blocked by every character, hah!
Ah that would habe been a great idea. Didn't thought of that. But probably wouldn't have time to implement that either since we didn't take time off work for creating this game.
