Cute cat and dog! Managed to get 2 different endins after a bit of testing. Pretty fun and good for a solo project! Adding some variety or juice with sounds or effects would add a lot!

Very cool! I felt like I was missing something because it felt like my 3 icons couldn't keep up with the malfunctions by the time I was on the 6th video or so, but it was fun to see what I was supposed to do! Great time :)

Awesome to hear that you found your way into the mystery of it! I don't want to spoil it entirely yet but as you get further in the game, the 'recommended videos' start changing in... strange ways

I managed to exit the browser and even win the game. I drag and dropped some icons and downloaded the video.

The game is weird but interesting, there’s definitely room for interaction like clicking to the bad icons and nostalgic sounds when clicking around with more variety/options during the gameplay.

Good job!

I didn't get how to control anything but I really want more games with vibe like this. Very cool idea

Nice game! Would've loved if there was a little variation in the gameplay though. And more fun ways for the player to become active. Still really impressive for a first solo project! And cuteee cat and dog btw <3!

Thank you! Did you make it to the 'Second Level' / find any of the other endings? For the sake of the plot (and my sanity) the surface level is very simple but there's a bit more hiding under the surface!

I got the game over hospital ending. Didn't figure out how to get to the second level though XD

lol thats awesome! you can skip to the next level by trying to close with the x button and hitting cancel or by clicking the 'im sorry' text that pops up after you try to close and hit okay. Really happy that people are figuring it out at all tbh, I was worried I made it too esoteric.
