This is a correct game. Loved all the weird phrasing and situations popping up, as much as I loved the characters' faces hehe

Submitted

This game is kind of buggy and gameplay-wise it needs a bit of tweaking. But story-wise, it's awesome, such an incredible ending!

If possible, please consider rating my game too. 

Submitted

Very unique!

Submitted

Definitely got the perpetual monotony of the workplace feeling that I think it was trying to convey. The art and audio were all good and fit nicely. The adlib gameplay of gathering and randomly picking words was certainly interesting and the way it tied back at the end in that AI is just a "next best word picker" was an amazing ending.  

Submitted

Nice and unique game, never saw one with the same premise. I love that you integrated the main menu with the whole gameplay, that was very smart.

Overall great entry and spin on the theme, gj :D

Submitted

Hey, thanks for checking out our game! I found your game really unique from the very beginning with selecting to start the game. The dialogue was really interesting too among characters, and I ended up getting the "Who am I" ending!

We are happy that you like it and went for an ending! Thanks for playing and review <3

First of all, when I saw the menu, I smiled :P. It fits the atmosphere of the game very well.

I get the ending in the bathroom! An interesting idea for gameplay.

To sum up, the atmosphere is cool and the audiovisuals are great—everything comes together perfectly.

PS: Widziałem creditsy! Pozdrowienia dla was ^^

Thank you for the review and I'm glad you like it!

PS. A również pozdrawiamy, dalej jestem wielkim fanem gry o przyciskach <3

Submitted

This is good! I like it

Submitted(+1)

love the story and played it twice to get the true ending. (also found the secret on the bathroom wall) 

only issue I had was that during the work section, sometimes the word I need just wouldn't show up in time, so I would just lose through no fault of my own.

Otherwise I did like it

The story and writing are incredible, and that ending – made me pause for a few minutes to think about it more. 5/5 creativity. Amazing work :D

Submitted(+1)

The writing and dialogs are top-notch and the game feels immersive.
The word minigame looks fun but I couldn't seem to figure out if the words were working as expected. It seems like they were floating outside the screen, and once every 10 seconds only a few letters were visible on the screen. Same issue in windowed & fullscreen modes. I mean, it's still technically possible to guess which words these are but I felt like this is more of a game-breaking bug. Also, this situation was on the main menu too, and I barely made it into the game.

Developer

Hi, thanks for kind words :D

Could you please tell me more specifics about your set, what OS and browser are you using? We got similar issue report from my friend who tried it on Mac os and Safari browser, and I'm trying to pinpoint what can be the cause. 

Submitted(+1)

Sure, I'm on Windows with Chrome. Here's my chrome://version

I honestly think this is a resolution issue since my monitor isn't typical 16:9 but rather 16:10 - I'm having some UI bugs in other submissions too. In my monitor settings I have 3200x2000 and 200% scaling.

Developer

Yeah, you're right, it's definitely problem with screen resolution. I didn't thought of testing this during jam (it works on my computer ;) ). Thank you very much for help, and really sorry for this bug 

Submitted

Same issue on my 21:9 ultrawide! Choosing 16:9 in Windows display settings really saves the game!

Submitted

I absolutely love the opening. Having the menu options fall down and jump up was cool!

The dialogue having variations of “That is correct” was confusing at first, but ultimately funny!

Keep up the great work!

Submitted

Wow, that's quite a lot of game to have created and included in a short format. I love the art direction and the music and the "everything is just a little bit off" vibe of the game. The primary gameplay loop of a madlib-like is pretty cool (at least that's the closest thing I can think of). And of course the repetitive monotony and loop of office life is captured well here. Solid submission!

Submitted

Very strange but creative game, I love the concept here. The audio really adds to the unsettling vibe of the office and the words mechanic is very cool. This is correct.

Developer(+1)

Your enthusiasm and your work are very much appreciated, and they are correct!

Submitted

this is correct. Lovely amazing concept. 

I love the atmosphere and mechanics of this game. I think I got the bad ending, but I see where the good ending was meant to lead. I love the way the mechanic fits into the narrative and game structure.  It was kinda hard though, I found it difficult to read the text while looking for correct words, and sometimes correct words wouldn't show at the correct times.

Developer

We are grateful for your continued engagement with our company, and we thank you for your feedback. It is noted, appreciated and flagged as correct!

Submitted

very funny and correct, I feel like I'm having a stroke. that is correct!

Developer

Remember, dear Friend, that any type of strokes are a health hazard and you shouldn't suffer from them! You should seek for medical help imminently. Anyway, thanks for playing and for leaving a comment <3

I seemingly did not get any words like I was supposed to in the typing part, so I couldn’t progress!

Developer

Being stuck is not correct! Where you got stuck? Remember, if you don't have enough words you can always re-visit your coworkers, some of them are pretty useful!

Submitted

This was wild, I've not played a game like it. I think it was bugged though, I didn't get any words thrown at me. It is not correct.

Developer

That is not correct indeed! What kind of issues did you encountered? Did you consult your co-workers in order to obtain additional knowledge?
