Love it, the vibes are amazing!
super unique vibe, cool art style (love the balatro background shader lolll), and great take on the theme. its definitely a spooky experience, but a rly well made one that has a unique and memorable vibe, good job on this submission
Thank you so much ❤️
Great game but it crashed or close on me dont understand how it fits the theme but like the art alot
The game shows you a counter of your life time... thats the most brutal counter you could have... :DD sorry that it broke for you!
60 more years? well that's optimisric lol anyways loved the vibes, kinda reminded me of those 4th wall breaking horror games that would circle around 2011-13 (I'm scared and all that good stuff), great job!!
It's just an estimate and a very generous one! But i wnated to let ppl think about time and it worked for most ppl, thank you for playing! <3
Thanks for the pep talk! I will start exercising more now.
Thanks for trying it and taking it serious! <3
pretty spooky stuff, I love how I play with my office computer so the dude just refers to me as OFFICE PC lmaooo. Pretty interesting experience, gg to the devs.
haha amazing :D it was solo dev project within 8h before the wedding of my brother because i couldn't sleep xD
Very creepy game. interesting take on the countdown theme. kind of shocking to know that there's that many seconds left lol. Overall very eye opening. Good work!
thank you so much for playing it live! I got new ideas to put in afterwards!
I now know when I will die :)
Thank me later :D
Wonderful take on Countdown, definitely bound to get a lot of people. He's wrong tho
I'm sorry for that! In teh future he will look into your search history and your social media profiles as well xD
Super cool! I'd used "death clocks" before, but this one obviously has them all beat in terms of style. Once I realized the game's purpose, I was immediately excited. You applied the theme super well, it's like, the ultimate countdown! The art direction was sick too, reminded of Death Note or something like it. A great piece of momento mori :D
Thank you so much! You spotted my love for death note :DD Well I hope people wil think about their time after this. And I think it somehow worked! :D
Thought provoking and tense!
Thank you so much!
I was really upset
Would do that again
Thanks again for reacting live to it! it was my first time to see somebody react and it was awesome!
Very cool concept! Made us think deeply about life! I got 39 years and Jules got 53 years!! Guess she will die alone lol!! Also, very cool and unique graphics! That background style reminds me of balatro but also like the devil. Good choice!
Thinking about how to spend one's life, I couldn't have asked for anything more :DD And yes, the background was inspired by *Balatro*; I actually had the dream sequence from *Pokémon Mystery Dungeon* in mind, but I guess I gave it a *Balatro* twist xD Simply fascinating! Thanks for playing <3
Hahah, love it at the first time when I said 'close it'. THe conversation is very philosophical, and the head art match the vibe very much. Good and Unique experience in this game.
Thank you so much! It was so much fun writing the dialogue!
What an amazing idea haha, fits incredibly well. And was really creepy too! Also opening a dontopenthis.exe and having your antivirus block it is a vibe :D I love how much options there are in the dialogue, and the writing is really good. Awesome job man!
Thank you so much! :DD
This is not bad at all! Several times, I actually felt chills running down my spine. The life expectancy mechanic is really cool.
The fact that he asks about my lifestyle is a bit weird, though—you'd think he'd already know. I also tried playing as a 99-year-old man with every bad habit possible. It's a shame I couldn't see what happens when the timer reaches 0.
Still, it's a really nice concept. Great work!
Oh, I hadn't even thought of that! I'll include that in a later version after the game jam. That's brilliant! The questions were necessary to determine your general life expectancy. So, the background calculation is based on average figures I found online!
I saw this as an opportunity to rethink how I spend my time and to reflect on the insignificance of our lives compared to that huge number, which gets smaller with every second we live!
Well, I played, and the first thing I chose was "Close this". The game closed, and now even downloading new copies of the game defaults to the guy saying "As you wish" and closing immediately on me. Shame - it looked interesting.
Maybe I made it too realistic in that sense xD you can delete the game files under your %appdata% folder. Sorry for this hickup!
In the game you mean? I only have the application and a .pck file.
Thank you alot for your feedback!
I will inlcude a reset button in future builds!
This is how to reset your save step by step:
- Close the game completely.
- Press Windows key + R
- Paste this and press Enter:
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\
- Delete the whole "Don't Open This" folder
- Start the game again (I will include a reset button in the future)
Got it! Thank you for that. Very surreal, though it took me a couple of tries to get to the actual 'game' of it.
Creepy vibes and philosophy - always a good combination.
Good ambient
Thank you :D
Wow, I even got goosebumps. I loved the Death God's reaction when you enter the game again after finishing it
Even gave you goosebumps? That’s amazing! It’s funny, really. Even with a project this short, you can’t quite recapture what the game feels like the first time around, because normally I’m so immersed in it that my perception is completely different.
KILLER AMBIANCE AND VIBES WOAH. the way the background changes is sooo good cause it kept making me worried there'd be like a big jumpscare or something and all that buildup really enhanced the experience. i have to ask are u a death note fan the lifespan counter was giving crazy death note vibes. also what font did u use i am gonna steal that i love it
Thank you so much! The Death Note vbes are exactly what i was aiming for! I even put some references to it in the dialogue. :D These are all the free Google Fonts i used: (I will put them in the credits as well)
