Battled a potato and got lost in the never-ending void of chaos.

The style is incredible. I love how quirky the game world is. I cannot get my head around one of the puzzles, I'm sure I'm just dumb. I had a swell time, music fits amazingly well.

Thanks! :) Just out of curiosity, were you having issues with the puzzle in the first or the second office?

It'll sound dumb, haha, but when you're finding the file for your boss, wasn't sure how to find, I guess I didn't under the coordinates.

Gotcha! A few ppl were having issues with that. If you want to you can give me your @ in the discord and I can dm you the solution

I'm pretty new to discord, and social media (besides YouTube) in general lol, it should be @dantescrypt_15996 or just Dante's Crypt on Toasty's discord. I would love to replay it, I love anything psychedelic, and I'm curious about your inspirations as well!

This is an interesting little game. I don't really want to spoil anything because it works best with normal player expectations.

Some puzzles revolve around figuring out what you're supposed to do, but the game gives you ample hints. There is a cheap shot early on which I think serves as a tutorial for the saving mechanic. There were two times the game managed to hit the theme perfectly by making me scared of it's supposed complexity, but I found out after going back to my save files that it's just a trick and the game is less vast than you might think going from your initial run. The style is really cute, the puzzles are well crafted without being impossibly difficult. The lighthearted tone makes things feel less scary but more surreal and uneasy in a Kafkaesque sort of way.
