CONGRATS!
THANKS! kelvynlee@gmail.com
Visuals and atmosphere are cools.... Great Work
Thanks!!
The eerie unsettling atmosphere is done too well, one of the game's biggest strengths. Good work!
thank you very much!
Really love the PSX look and the trailer sold the vibe right away. Took me a loooong time to figure out I had to copy the recipe into chat with Nathan. At first I put the recipe into the mixing machines, but that turned out to be a waste of time, lol.
An in-game tutorial pop-up would make the steps much clearer. Atmosphere is super cool though, great work!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.
I tried to make the tutorial the first screen in the terminal already open, explaining it clearly to maintain the atmosphere. I think if it were a pop-up, it would have to be in the terminal, appearing with each step. Good thinking, I still have a lot of game design to learn to teach new players.
Love the premise and visual style, but I was left very confused.
(spoilers below, for other readers, play first ;))
Nathan kept telling me I didn't send the recipe, at first I thought it was a bug but then started thinking he was lying (right?) after reading the "sent" messages.
But more importantly, is there only one "path" in the game or is there multiple endings? Can you do anything to figure out the correct recipe once he starts sending you wrong ones? Or does it not matter what you do at all past a certain day? I felt like I was missing something big.
About Nathan saying he didn’t receive the recipe, when you send the recipe it should show “SYSTEM MESSAGE YOU SUBMITTED A RECIPE”. If that message didn’t appear, then for some reason the AI didn’t call the function to use the recipe, it might be a bug.
(SPOILERS BELOW)
But once you discover the plot it’s no longer necessary to send him the recipe.
The game has two mysteries to uncover: why you are there and what that place actually is.
After collecting all the toys you receive an email explaining why you are there. In the emails you have sent you also discover that there is a hidden password to unlock deleted emails. Once you use the password you will find out in those deleted emails what that place really is, what happened to the previous subject and why Nathan is still alive. It is a narrative driven story and there is only one ending.
