Good idea for a nice video game

Submitted

The narration is pretty good ! But i think it will be really nice if there is some UI to display some objective to guide player. Overall the narration alone can be nice too for more immersive gameplay.

Developer

Glad you liked it and thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

I think it will be really nice if there's more hints about where the key is. I found myself wondering in the maze a bit too long.

Developer

Yeah. I am actually thinking about adding a sound when the player gets close to the key. It would be make it a lot better of an experience maybe.

As someone who got past the bucket puzzle I will say I have no idea how I got it but I did finish the game. The narration was the highlight and quite funny good job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Despite not being able to get past the bucket puzzle, I found the usage of AI in this game to be actually appealing, and the main menu theme was unironically good.

Edit: I played the prepatched version. I played it again and the game did not disappoint.

Developer

Ha ha.  The main menu theme is actually quite catchy right?  Can I ask what the problem with the bucket puzzle was? Was it an issue with understanding how to solve the puzzle or a bug? 

Developer

Hi everyone. I am going to try to get an updated version out today which fixes the objects falling through the floor. Thanks for all the feedback!

I think the strongest part of the game is the narration. I am also struggling with the bucket that unluckily does not let me continue.

EDIT: after fixing the bucket issue I was able to complete the game. Thanks for fixing it!

I love the idea. I enjoyed Stanley Parable a lot so I would like this as well. I have issues with web build because it shows game scaled like 3 times. Then I have issue with bucket which sometimes disappears. Also wooden log disappears when placed. As you mentioned in previous comment, it looks like it falls through the floor. It also happened once for me - player dropped through the floor. Don't you want to consider new build with bug-fixes? I would love to play it.

Developer

Thank you! Bug fixes are on the way!

Submitted

It’s the Jimmy Parable!! Very good voice acting and clever use of the theme. I struggled a bit playing in the browser. It just didn’t want to capture my mouse no matter what I did.

Developer

Ah yes! I believe you might need to pause the game first and then click on the screen. I'm not really sure what's causing this bug but I'll try to fiqure it out. Thank you for the nice comments. I actually wasn't trying to copy "The Stanley Parable" but now that you mention it, the game is a bit simillar isn't it! Ha Ha

Submitted

Haha I meant it as a compliment. I love the Stanley parable so I immediately found something to love about this. The Stanley parable is more Walkin simulator with narration. More about the places you go and choices you make and less about solving puzzles (though there are some I guess) it’s certainly different than what you have here. But yes, the narrator very much reminds me of that game in a good way.

Submitted

Unfortunately I could not complete the game as I didn't understand what to do once I had the bucket. Pressing E seemed to make it disappear. What I was able to see, though, was very nice! I appreciate the storybook narration style.

Developer

Hi! Sorry about that. The bucket is supposed to fall on the floor, but depending on if you have a high framerate, items can sometimes fall through the floor. Really sorry about that glitch. Thank you for the feedback though!
