I enjoyed this a lot!! From the style to the sound design, i think it’s one I’m definitely going to be revisiting a couple times just to really be able to admire everything, even though i tried to drink it all in during the slow burn climb!!

rally good one, it's a bit scary. i liked the chatpot, it was my first time writing correctly without looking at the keyboard. One thing is that when the character is moving and the sound of text when it's typing is annoying

Really well made, one of my favorites in the jam. my only issue was the head bobbing when moving, it felt a little too extreme. great story, good characters, the apartment was designed very well. the chatbot face was also spooky, the tv-face-reveal made me jump a little lol. great work

Such a great story! I echo the dislike of AI down in the comments. The slowburn into it is nice and steady, and the horror buildup was one of my favorite parts. Great game!

Yeah, F*ck AI

Excellent work! A few translation errors here and there, a few logical leaps, but overall I had a great time with Demon Clippy :)

Very cool game. ChatGPT is indeed EVIL.

The art style is awesome. Retro vibes. It almost gives me the same feel as No, I’m Not Human, especially in the humans like our harmless neighbor of course. The typing mechanic was fun even while I was basically just mashing keys. It felt like I was actually replying to the messages. I think the story progression was a little fast, but it is a game jam and for a game jam the story is really interesting. I could see this becoming a full game if you continue working on it after the jam. The look is already 100 percent Steam-ready.

Also please no Tab button restart. My muscle memory cannot be trusted. Anyways, I suddenly have an urge to go drink some coffee...

People do be listening to chatgpt rather devotedly! Great game, pay off to the story was fantastic. 

I think my only nitpick is that the flow felt very mechanical and writing came off as slightly clunky at times. That said if anything that added more to the uncanny eeriness!

Good work that was a very interesting story :) I thought the main characters descent into madness was way too quick though! xD 

There is a old game called Harvester which does a similar thing where is turns you into a monster but it does it in a more slow and deceitful manner. It's quite interesting you should take a look!  


Just two points I noticed where the grammar needs to be fixed;

  • "It's a good man" should be something like "They are a good man". In general/old fashion referring to someone as "it" can be considered quite rude and I don't think the main character wants to be rude about the neighbor.
  • When you and the neighbor start talking at night you said "Good night" at the start of the conversation. It should be "Good evening" when you start a conversation in the evening/night but when your saying goodbye in the evening/night "Good night" is perfectly fine then! 

Anyway really good work :)

Fantastic, really great story I feel the heavy themes in this one. This more like a playable short story rather than a game, but it does that aspect well. The only thing is the camera bob is a little weird (nitpicking) and I'm usually someone who isn't bothered by it, fortunately there is only a little walking in this game but it could've been an issue in a bigger game with someone who suffers from motion sickness.

The game is more like a published short horror game rather than a jam submission. The only thing that i can say, reactions of the main character is somewhat rushed but it can be understandable in consideration with the jams limited duration to write a fullblown story. If there would be a OS like S4cred it would probably developed by Terry Davis. Good job!

I love the artstyle of this and the whole feel of the game! The Chatbot was really creepy kinda reminds me of the TempleOS!
