Wow this game is difficult.
ReplyDeleteWelp, I figured it out eventually, but not being clear on what you can click on was hard. And figuring out what some inventory items were supposed to be too. I got the yellow star first, then the green and then the blue...
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the yellow star? I have the Green, the blue, and a yellow square?
ReplyDeleteCheck the box just left of the fridge. The thing that looked like a dishwasher to me?
DeleteFound it just after I posted 😂
ReplyDeletestylistically nice but if the difficulty comes from now knowing what to click because everything is pixely AF, it's not a great game.
ReplyDeleteCan't figure out the yellow star or the freezer puzzle which assumedly leads to it. I'm missing something...
ReplyDeletenevermind, got it. Was looking in the wrong place
ReplyDeleteIs this the full game? Or only one room? I can also see it on steam and on the developer's page they mention the "steam wishlist".
ReplyDeleteThis is a demo. On steam it shows many more screenshots of different scenes.
DeleteI am unable to pick up the yellow star from the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteIt is behind the inventory bar even when it hides the bar.
I use an enlarged pointer that switches to a smaller size as I hover over the bar.
Also the first time I played I had to auto hide my taskbar to see the inventory.
That was not a problem this time as my browser was windowed.
BTW why does such a small game take so long to load?
It has promise, and very nice pixel art, but as far as usability and playability/fun, it needs a lot of testing and work.
ReplyDeleteit was tough, and I needed all the hints in the comments there, but I managed it.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to balance the challenges, and this one came down on the harder side, but at least it wasn't some impossibly timed jump that you need a gaming computer to manage.
ngl, (game ending spoiler) I'm so used to texts like "Thank you for playing" being at the finish screen that I had second thoughts if I needed to do more once the night screen appeared. This is just one part of the full game tho so it's understandable if "thank you for playing" doesn't appear.
ReplyDeleteLoved it, all puzzles make sense and are intuitive. very clever. atmosphere is great.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else map out the entire computer pvephvg obneq? no? just me then :-P
