Even though the game is less of a game and more of an experience with a strong message, it's short and definitely worth trying. Good job!

A Transcendent Masterpiece

This game is operating on an entirely different level; it’s an absolute hidden gem and a generational triumph.

The visual engineering is nothing short of a technical marvel—a masterclass in modern design that pushes the boundaries of the medium. Paired with a profoundly moving, meticulously crafted narrative, the experience is utterly breathtaking. It is, without a doubt, a flawless masterpiece.

I finally feel like I’ve discovered a game that boldly rejects the stagnant, copy-paste formulas of the modern industry to deliver something genuinely unprecedented. This isn't just a game; it is absolute cinema. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME!

Game launches to a scene with a slot machine (?), but nothing is interactable.

(Edit after dev fixes):

I'm glad you guys got it working. The Hamster Machine is less a game and more a meditation on commitment, relationships, and the meaning of life. It's deeply critical of society and religion's role in people's lives, and our struggle to navigate these waters. I don't want to spoil anything, but I'll say that I'm on your wavelength. Good job!

Thanks for trying it, give it another go as we fixed some major game-breaking bugs in the last 24 hours

The bug being the game being entirely unfinished
