Quite confusing, but it was nice to play nontheless. I liked the keyboard puzzle.

Submitted

Interesting and unique take on the theme. Found both endings, nice submission.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out and for playing through it twice to get both endings! :)

Submitted

This is such a fun metagame :D

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to try out the game! Happy to hear you had a fun time. :)

Ha, I loved this! "ThisCord" killed me hahah. I like the meta gaming with the GWJ. Very clever and very engaging game from the start.

Developer( 1)

Thanks for your kind words!

I considered leaving it at first but figured better safe than sorry and not get into any trademark issues so I just changed it up a little. :P

Submitted

Fun little game. Liked the "meta" concept of trying to make a game for the jam :) The keyboard puzzle was nice. Well done overall!

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game and I’m glad you liked the keyboard puzzle!

Submitted

really nice game! I liked the variety in storytelling mechanics and going through multiple scenes.

🐞one thing i noticed in the 1st paper notes section, the number glyphs were missing in the font. And i had a little confusion as a player how to progress past that section. Of course i eventually figured out i had to let the teacher catch me and got to experience the rest, but I was stuck for a little bit

Really nice work though, and very relatable storyline haha

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game!

  1. Yeah, you can’t type numbers and symbols don’t work. It was not obvious to me how to get symbols working with the shift key and so on so I opted to not complicate things and just keep it to letters. With keyboard layout differences as well I wanted to make sure what the user typed is what they got. Perhaps something to research going forward.
  2. Interesting. The teacher checks on you 4 times so you should not be “stuck”. No one else has reported this…but maybe they just did not run into this problem. I originally wanted to add a clock so that you can see how long the class was going for but ended up working on polishing up other parts of the game. Your feedback confirms that this is something that should be added though. Thank you for bringing this up.

I loved it. Well done. Can't wait for the sequel!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Can’t wait for the sequel!

Thank you for the kind words. Can’t promise anything. It will really depend on the theme of future GWJs… :P

Submitted

very beautiful mise en abyme

Developer

Thanks for playing! I hope you enjoyed the experience. :)

Submitted

Unique idea. The first scene reminds me old school days. Great job.👍

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game!

The first scene reminds me old school days.

I’m happy to hear that it was relatable. :)

Submitted

This is an excellent idea for a game. I agree with what Wei-ju Wu said about the keyboard, I thought I had forgotten the layout of my keyboard lol.

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game! I’m glad to hear that I captured the nightmare feel both in game and in the real world. ;)

Submitted

That was pretty interesting, unique and very meta :D I thought for a while my keyboard was broken :D  Reminds me a bit of Interactive Fiction, but with more graphics.

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game! I’m glad you felt it was a unique and immersive experience.

I thought for a while my keyboard was broken

I did not even think about this but in hindsight I can see how it can throw the player off completely. I hope the puzzle was not too difficult to solve because I want the player to complete the game instead of getting frustrated and quitting to play another submission. :P I spent a fair amount of time brainstorming different ways to convey hints to the player as to how they should arrive at the solution.

Submitted

Very fun and even if this was my first jam i could relate a lot to everything , really unique game!

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game, Alboroz!

Submitted

Nicely done. Very relatable. Would be cool with some background music as well. 

Developer( 1)

Thanks for trying out the game! I avoided putting in music as I did not want the music to suggest to the player what was happening. In hindsight though I think you are right and I should have just put some neutral music to keep the mood “static” to keep the players guessing. Will keep that in mind for the next jam! :)

Submitted

Very cool, and fun! Brings me back. :P Nice for something so early in your career at GWJ! Keep up the good work!

Developer( 1)

Thanks for playing! It came together pretty well I would say. There is an unfortunate lack of “game-like” elements to it but I hope you enjoyed the experience! :)

Submitted

Really fun ! And I can so relate to everything. Quite an experience and unique approach, love it !

Developer( 1)

Thanks for giving the game a try. I’m glad you had a good time and that it was relatable. :P

Submitted

Fun game. I found the ThisCord ending and the butler push ending.

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game! There are only two endings. I have updated the game’s description to make this clear in case people are wondering. :)
