Wow, that was a trip! I didn't know anything could make those types of customer service calls anything but a soul-crushing experience, but this kept me interested.

Very nifty. I love how you had the puzzle solutions sitting around the room, it felt cool to interact with the room as more than just set dressing. The presentation here is what really sells everything, it is very well done. The audio was effective, the art style was clear but had personality, and the interactions were pretty funny. Overall, I appreciate that you worked a narrative into your primary gameplay loop.

Not a ton of feedback honestly. I kinda feel like this is exactly the way it is supposed to be. Maybe you could add some more convoluted environmental puzzles, and really have the calls go in some weird directions but honestly what is here is already good.

Nicely done.

Really cool take on the theme! Loved the minigame at the end, too. Everything feels corporate in a funny way. Would've loved if there was an ambience music to relax the tension because I was really nervous about getting the answers wrong and being kicked back to the main menu. Great job!

Very funny game, even if it brings back all the worst memories of attempting to get a refund from GameStop for 2 straight hours, good experience overall

This was a really funny interpretation of the theme, and was delightfully frustrating too!

If I had a nickel for every time a game made me laugh out loud by finding the word "Bears" in an unexpected place, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I love the customer service "loop" idea!

Submitted

Very funny game. I thought the theme interpretation is a bit stretched, but it's not a big deal.

I also thought it's funny how this game is made in Unity but also has a book named "Waiting for Godot", which is a play, haha. Very nicely done visuals and audio.

Reminds me of th eold point-and-click adventure games of the old Flash days. Good job!

Submitted

Fun game, got stuck in a loop for a bit haha

Too realistic experience) 
Nice game!

Submitted

Nice game lol I did get rather annoyed by LEO eventually but I guess that's realistic as AIs answering the phone are always very annoying XD Nice job!

Also I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!

One day I will catch that bear. Small fun point and click. And yeah, trying to get refunds feels exactly like this.

Pixel art, point and click? Yes, please!

Submitted(+1)

Who doesn't dream about bears?

Wow. Haven't played anything quite like this in this jam. I'm not typically a fan of point and click games, but this was a blast. That Lost Woods cover goes unreasonably hard, please put that up somewhere on YouTube or something so I can send it to my friends

“BEARS” caught me totally by surprise! Love the idea and the humor.

Developer

"Bears" was a placeholder while we figured out what we wanted in the journal. It caught some of our testers by surprise in the same way, so we decided to keep it!

Good humor, not a ton of relevance to the loop theme imo but it was still an interesting experience (:

Submitted(+1)

Simple, but very well made game. Not my cup of tea, since I have had too many bad experiences with call centers, but I can still appreciate the nice presentation. Good job 👍

Submitted(+1)

That was entertaining. I guess I spoiled my fun somewhat by doing everything right :P Still enjoyed the game a lot.

Developer

LEO is disappointed in your flawless run. We are not. We are happy for you!

Different and fun game! Eventhough I do not usually play this type of games I really enjoyed it!
