hi i found a typo idk where to put it so hope here’s good?

Did Bresson somehow manage to knick him?

knick should be nick

The visuals are minimal and really good. I hate Claire so much. The way she fetishizes Didi to even minute stupid fucking details (her scar is masculine, somehow) and how she lies constantly about every interaction. (The thing with Nina coming was kind of funny but.) It’s hard to see it as her not doing it on purpose by the end…

I found it very upsetting that she cared about what she did to Nina but not Didi even though it was also awful… like the way she does things without seeming to care at all. It ended with Didi getting arrested and handcuffed which is horrible, kinda felt like Claire just used her and threw her away.

The 14k words went by really fast, great job.

I see!! Poor Rachel :(

Oh! I just realized, is it called id & i as a reference to the organism’s unconscious array of uncoordinated instinctual needs, impulses and desires?

That was really cool!! I felt really bad for Rachel…

This was so sad!! :( :( :( Poor Seralina… It kind of reminds of Needy Girl Overdose but more realistic. She’s so lonely and her being lonely makes it worse…

Okay. So. The intro was REALLY hard to get through. The protagonist is just so spoiled. I quit the game the first time when she was complaining about juice and attaching to a maid. And then she started asking about why her maid had a penis. The secondhand embarrassment upon reading this is really bad.

So I read the rest of this VN by clicking really fast and not really absorbing the information. You can’t make me play this game again. You can’t!!!

I’m glad the epilogue was there! It was a nice contrast to see the other half of the relationship’s perspective.

Does the Golden Grotto ever unlock?

Cute! I felt bad for the tiny animals though.

It’s what I do in real life so I appreciate it a little XD

Yay this is pretty fun! Following guide games and fake medical things are fun! Interesting that the gut is called the stomach!

alas, it keeps failing :(

edit: i got it working through the itch app!

hi! i would love to play this game but the download keeps failing on my end - i use a mac and i think it’s because the file is too big. could it be separated into multiple parts/hosted on a different website? (i will also try again a few more times, hopefully it will work.)

Yes that is the ending! I may change it to be more clear, but the idea is that you become treasure and can move no more.

Beautiful dreams make beautiful games.

Neat! What inspired you to make the prototype?

I think the full game is already out its Exhibit of Sorrows!

I stopped and couldn’t move for a while. I’m going to think about the chip they put in my head for a long time.

Whoa!!! I just saw this and I’m really excited to play it!! :D

Edit: Okay I need to find a mouse first because taking a camera picture isn’t working on mac trackpad but I will be back!

they’re just a fwiendly little guy :3 :3 :3 knocking on your door :3 :3 :3

it’s kinda sweet that the stalker wants me to tell them they deserve a second chance and to be forgiven and for them to be able to go home. i’m also impressed by how they managed to hack into a dystopic corporate survey and made it interesting. like it’s not really scary just cool

tbh i’m really lonely and kind of relate to the stalker’s feelings, so talking to them was nice

wow wtf

Wow, this is really clever!! Here’s my result!

My partner got a birdequinecow, who has an elaborate mating dance!

Ohh got you - 80% zoom fixed it! (here’s what the game should look like to anyone else searching the comments for help)

Woww, thank you! Didn’t know there was an chinese instrument in there!

Omg this is so cool written out!! :D

(PS) since you seem to have drawn some connections with the sound systems. Here’s some food for thought: you said that you had to turn up the volume in each “layer” which allowed you to put in the password (and get killed each time). But do you remember ever turning up the volume for the very last one?

Okay so… I actually showed this to someone who has very good hearing and didn’t even need to turn up the volume for that one xD. I played through again and turned up the volume (on my computer in real life), which I think means that if the cycle is:

Windows 7: dead person -> turn up volume of mysterious voices -> unlock security -> static -> knocking -> Windows 10: monster enters room -> turn up volume on Windows 10 -> unlock security -> static -> knocking -> 3dverse: monster enters room -> turn up actual computer volume -> unlock security -> whole screen turns static -> REAL LIFE: MONSTER ENTERS ROOM?

But what’s most notable from the first room is that the person was dead, bloody, xs over the eyes on the floor, so perhaps we are the living opposite…

Anyway there’s another layer up from us where the volume did not get turned up yet, perhaps… the monster has yet to appear to KILL…

also what musical instrument is it? my boyfriend thinks it’s too high for a cello, but not high enough for a violin.

all the imagebb images are broken :(

(spoilers)

The game’s trick made a lot of sense, but I was a little surprised as I was expecting it to be longer! or for there to be a different ending possible, like with how it says you can try to save the person if you enter the numbers to unlock the settings. I liked how the nested worlds worked: first you need to turn the mysterious voices up on your windows 7 (to get killed), and then you need to turn the fake-Windows UI sound up (to get killed), and then you need to turn your own computer’s sound up (to presumably die horribly). It’s a really neat thing to encounter.

Also it was very gorgeously implemented. Details looked really similar to real windows. After replaying it I was surprised to find that the puzzles were semi-randomized, like the cipher had different answers, which is really not what I expected of such a short game! As well as the hints panel with the mods - they are helpful, though I’m surprised they are just like lol idk can’t help you any more giving you more hints if you keep begging. And the inappropriateness of the stream was also funny. Having you have to enter your name is also interestingly uncomfortable - I like the bit of personality that comes with ‘That’s not your name’ if you enter something else.

Anyway, if you keep making these you should put them all in a Short Horror Story compilation or something, they’re all bangers, or perhaps expand the idea into a longer game.

Going to try to get some other people to play this in a few days and see what they think too!

hhhhh… it reminds me of https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2747

(ohh also - RECURSion lol)

I’d like to play this, but the mouse drag doesn’t seem to be working. I’m trying to drag the word Fire onto Cast Spell, but nothing happens when I try to click.

lots of fun! i admire the restraint in not making the game too easy. also i really like how you can click the icons on the side to skip back to their choice. also, i think the sorcerer mage is hot.

love a game that makes me do math in the downtime <3
