Couldn't played the game :( 
I tried different drivers for my gpu also but couldn't solved the problem.
Error was : "Your GPU (AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT) or driver doesn't support linear rendering"

This game is great, got confused on level 2, tried a timing but i did like 10 attempts on the same strategy, This game made me think again about what my laptop can handle because the graphics was great, and it is enjoyable

Oh my god i absolutely loved this entry one of my faves so far!
I think the presentation is both super pretty and also manages to add some intriguing story building at the same time with so little, I love how the cardboard both adds a cute miniature experiment vibe but also builds onto the everything is fake undertone.
The portal influence there it really shines through, especially with the characters I really loved the voice acting it was really fun and well done, I think it successfully captured that vibe! This is by far my favorite use of the theme from a narrative stand point. even if I could tell where the story is headed, I thought the way it was presented was still super fun and it had me hooked!
At first I found the puzzles to be a bit obtuse but I decided to not give up and really try to think outside of the box and my patience has been rewarded, I really appreciated the cleverness of the puzzles once I found the solution . the only puzzle I had to look up was the one in room 5, I really appreciate that you left solutions on the itch page, I was so close to figuring that one out on my own but I didn't think of going about it that exact way lol

This game has incredible Portal-like charm, combining fantastic voice acting, a quirky humor, and a stylish mix of 3D environments with 2D art...the atmospheric vibe, fun mechanics, and overall personality make it an absolute blast to play. It's a super solid jam entry

Developer

Thank you!! glad you enjoyed it!!

The game is actually similar to ours in a few ways, but while we went for a more realistic look, you guys went for something much more stylized—and it works really well.

The voice acting is good, and I really loved the unique art style. It gives the game a lot of personality.

My only nitpick is that the bridge puzzle had me stuck for way too long . Other than that, really solid work!

Nice audiovisuals, but there are a few small issues when playing — I keep getting stuck.

Developer

thank you for playing!

literally stuck or puzzle wise? if the latter then the solutions are in the games main page, we are aware that we made one or two of the puzzles a bit difficult x)

Submitted

Developer

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!

Loved the setup of being stuck in a weird facility with those super enthusiastic but tired AIs haha, the voice acting gives it a lot of personality. The 3D stuff mixed with the 2D art looks super nice too. I did hear the bridge puzzle trips a lot of people up, but overall this seems like a very cool jam game :D

Developer

Thanks for checking it out :D

The browser version would help so much. It makes it easier for people to play the game and rate it. Also in a jam like the Brackeys, you have like 48 hours after the jam ends to patch bugfixes and add other platform support.

Developer

Heyo! We're aware that browser games are more convenient but frankly ours looked like buns in a browser lol, also we were well aware of the 48 hour bugfix time, and i can promise you we've patched as much as possible in that time frame. Hope to see you give ours a rating besides this though i'll give yours a try too :3

Submitted

was it performance that made it bad in the browser?

Developer

both that and just the game looking really bad lmao

LEAVING THIS HERE FOR ALL FUTURE PLAYERS!!
If any puzzles become too confusing, solutions are up on the itch page, no shame in looking we did NOT have the time to balance these!

The voice acting is nice.

Submitted(+1)

One of the ones i came across with voice acting and its done really well too. visuals are nice as well

Developer

so glad people like my voice acting <3

The humour reminds me of Portal, which is already a plus. The art is also fanstastic, congrats on the entry, it's a pretty solid one, hope you guys hit 20 rates!

Will for sure recommend this one to my friends.

Developer

Thank you!

Great work on the visuals and sound design, really cool! Unfortunately, the second level turned out to be too difficult for me. Overall, excellent work, keep it up!

the writing, ART + graphics, narration cube is so funny, vibe and then the music kicks in and gameplay... is all just fantastic! this is great. I truly want a full full version of this. I would Instant wishlist on steam :) very well done. I melted in lava :( I thought the game was done at the bridge but read these comments before commenting - you should have added a tip from the narrator or text pop up if the player repeatedly dies or does not progress for a few minutes or something like that a hint to say where to look or what to try in the bridge level example being I read your comment saying go up the bridge after I died 5 times trying the same thing I was about to give up, so I will go back and try again because this is a really really cool game( I am a portal simp haha ). would be nice to have a skip function so I could have got to where I left off but I will go through it again because I wanna try the other puzzles. I could not yet figure out the bridge puzzle, not sure if you are continuing this game but when I throw the box in the lava there is no respawning box but maybe this is because I do not need it for this puzzle. Okay I wall jumped off the cloud but thats crazy for someone to figure out without hints or anything. and then I get a laser gun? hahaah you guys absolutely cooked. I think I got softlocked after I got the laser gun? I dodged the robot shooting and then could not progress that room so I was stuck there and could not reset or anything.

Submitted

oh i just saw the solutions page ahhh okay, I will have to play through again now that I know those
