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!
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!
Fun game, got stuck in a loop for a bit haha
Too realistic experience)
Nice game!
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!
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
Hey thanks :D! It's on my Bandcamp as of today actually

“BEARS” caught me totally by surprise! Love the idea and the humor.
"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!
“Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.” (Old Russian proverb)
Good humor, not a ton of relevance to the loop theme imo but it was still an interesting experience (:
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 👍
That was entertaining. I guess I spoiled my fun somewhat by doing everything right :P Still enjoyed the game a lot.
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!
I had a lot of fun with this game, and I found it's humor right up my ally, but man if I would have failed more I might have been singing a different tune. Still, incredibly memorable, great job!
I liked discovering more about the world through “wrong” number answers. Pretty frustrating gameplay so far, but I feel like there’s something here in terms of a narrative-driven game. Curious what the post-jam looks like!
I might be a robot, I failed verification couple times xD
Video games can be judged by how much they spark emotions in players. This game can be judged very high in this regard, I actually got pissed off about the "customer support" that I had to talk to.
I think the idea is cool and the execution is good, art works well. Enjoyed the game, hated Leo AI!
I've not heard it quite put like this before. Thank you!
