No, actually just the TV image from the jam page. I forgot also some 2d assets here on itch from this big free bundle called the legacy bundle I think

Nice work and great voice acting!

Nice entry! Like others have said, the atmosphere and tension really stand out and the visual style is engaging. I also noticed that some of the mechanics could use a bit more clarity—having clearer instructions or subtle cues would make it easier for new players to understand the objectives. Overall, it’s a solid jam entry with a lot of potential.

nice platformer but too much story to be focusted but thats okay

That's quite a story!  The game jam's TV theme was seamlessly integrated into the game and seemed like a totally natural component.  This is such a unique mix - an interactive story where the user makes choices at decision points, but also interwoven with playable game interludes.  Very creative and innovative design!  And sacrilegious language aside, the quality of the voice acting was superb also.  It was neat to see how the embedded video game within the story continued to evolve and develop and refine as time went on.  In my opinion, this game and its unique design is a work of digital art!  Well done.

Parents arguing simulator

It reminds me of Facade a little bit. The sudden narrative was definitely an unexpected shift.

Interesting concept, but too much narrative for my taste.  :( 

I think adding some animations, movement etc. to those cutscenes would make the experience better.

I hate people arguing in real life as well, that might be the reason as well. I hate Ash... Just let her be man...

I like the concept! I appreciate  the narrative mixed with a  platform game, keep it up!

LOL The voice acting was GREAT! I loved the Australian accent. Nice switcheroo there too with the gameplay.

In my own game I had actually planned to do a voiceover interview with Skele-Tom during the end credits but I ran out of time.

But WTF. This is like listening to a radio play. Though not in a bad way. The two of them fighting was such a bummer. I would have liked more decision tree dialogue options too.

Cute concept.

Thanks :) Yeah would be cool to expand out the story to have more options. But 4 different variants of endings I think is good for a game jam. Unfortunate I couldn't get the animations. Glad you liked the concept :)

I did enjoy it.

Thanks :)

I like how it ended up! Just running the box and then - "ok, that's it , I need to go!" :D Even knowing that it's unfinished, that's something special about that :)

The game is unfinished, which is fine but adding just a background music would have made it a lot better. I am not a huge fan of adding swear words in a game personally and the cutscenes did feel long. The concept was cool and the story was decent. I hope this was a good learning experience for you all and you keep making progress! Good luck!

ty ty yeah definitely planning on adding in some music and sound after . Thanks :D

Okay, I understand that you have over scoped a bit and a lot remained unfinished. Guess the only feedback I have is that you could have included a play again button. That would encourage me to explore the story line for the other options. Without it, I am too lazy to reload and will have to move on to another game. Nice job getting an entry in though!

really interesting and original concept, i liked it. however the cutscenes may have been a bit long at times. maybe if you get the animations working they won't feel as long :) great story

Developer(+1)

Yeah definitely feel that. Going to go back and finish those up later :) thanks
