I enjoyed the story, but I didn’t really “get” it? None of the jokes were funny, which I guess was the point? Dougegan’s suggestion that his jokes were at her expense makes sense, but it wasn’t something that crossed my mind until I read his comment.

That story got my pulse up, and I think it has the potential to be something even longer and more complicated. From the beginning I anticipated that most of the jokes in his routine were at her expense, but didn't hear the actual joke until the final scene (which I thought was really well done, the final scene). The transition (earlier in the game) from normal boyfriend behavior to mad violence was very abrupt, and a longer form story would allow you to build up to that more gradually and more terrifyingly.  But altogether quite strong for a 3.5 hour development time.

This was fun! I liked the handling of the awkward “you think I’m funny, right?” conversations in the early game. I think everyone’s been in a situation like that at some point, I would have honestly loved to have inhabited that particular headspace a little longer.

The moral that I took away from the story? Kill everyone who doesn't find you funny.
