All these rooms and the poor guy doesn't have a bedroom. Couch looks comfy at least

I knew there will be that one guy who will notice it. Well, I could either try to fit another fake door somewhere, or change the bathroom door's label to bedroom, if I found it more important, or if there wasn't a nice sofa in the living room. Either way, thanks for playing!

This was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally fun!!!
Your tutorial was amazing, taking the necessary time to teach the controls even if they are simple is something I really appreciate. The lack of music builds for the unsettling atmosphere, so it's a possitive point. The sounds were funny (specially the sound for when you grab something) so I didn't stop laughing even if it was for the wrong reasons. You used the jam's theme very well in an extremely creative idea. 
I can't find flaws in the game. It's a short experience but as it reaches what it wants, my final opinion is really positive. Keep being creative in future games!! 

Pd. This game remembered me this meme:

I can tell that you liked it, Thanks for playing! About the music, I was planning to add some, and make it slow down after inserting the USB, to make things a bit unsettling, but that's coming for postjam along with grammar fixes.

Sweet and short game.

The good parts first: I liked your intro! The animation was really neat. The tutorial at the start is nice, where you have a progress bar for movement and looking around. It was fun searching for the different parts.

Now the bad parts: I don't like, that there is no happy ending :( But the thing that bugged me the most is that the keyboard of the desktop PC was upside down!! Space on the top?! Come on bro XD

I think there is a good moral to the story: always avoid untrusted downloads!

Yeah I realized the keyboard thing though because if mouse being in the left side of the keyboard (as for right handed user), however I didn't bother flipping it, because I had no idea anyone would notice... well... good job, I guess.

About the ending, I have a todo list of adding a victory, which would be by running away from the robot, dodging and throwing items at it, until it shuts down or something like that.

The moral, you almost hit a bullseye, but mines is more focused around AI. People are using AI mindlessly, everywhere...

As always, thanks for playing!

Neat little adventure ! I like the building process for the robot where you gotta hunt for random parts from what’s around the house :p

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!
