this game predicted it
Coming back to this little game in the current climate of AI chatbots and AI psychosis has imbued it with new meaning for me. Ahead of its time.
Spoilers to follow:
I like the ambiguity of how you've written the companion. It's very tight, just a few lines of dialogue and some disarming comments to make the gameified microtransactions feel meaningful. It feels like we are both "trapped" in our own forms of hard-coding, but this so easily could be the parrot-noises of a machine that is designed to mimic affection and take your money. I guess that's a form of being trapped, too. The machine cannot understand what it is doing to you and all that. Very fun.
About a month or so after the game came out I got a comment from someone saying that they had a really toxic addiction/relationship to a chat-bot and that the game really reflected their life experiences in that way. That completely blew my mind because, at the time, this was just a pure hypothetical to express my feelings of alienation during the height of the pandemic. Thank you for the kind words.
Very intriguing. I feel like there's supposed to be a hidden message or something, But if there is i'm too oblivious to understand it.
Nice game
better than any ea game
now that's real horror. Respect to all mfs who escaped matrix
Doesn't let me past the second scene, the power box switch makes sound but it doesn't flip. I think some people are saying that's because the game doesn't work on Windows 7 but I'm on Windows 11 and everything
I am So Good at picking up coins
Absolute Cinema
I played the game with the Japanese translation mod installed.I liked how the story, while short, had a strong message.The production was also brilliantly ingenious, and "that scene" gave me chills.
I'm glad I got to play this game.
ok
5/10
32 bit wworking?
Very thrilling concept and masterfully executed, thank you for making this! :D
It's not letting me proceed after the first beach section and won't turn the power back on.
Is there any jumpscare ?
absolutely amazing! such an awesome experience.
amazing. i love this :)
great gam
Seeing the other replies, I see I missed the credit roll lol
The ending I got was after it told me to just stare at each other in the void, I got off the monitor, shut the power off, ripped the boards off the door and the game just closed itself. Interesting game
SICK! when I first popped out of the computer i thought it was some dude in a checkered shirt lol
This AI best friend is actually quite cute
idc what bro does we're best friends now and having soft tacos later
he cant escape ME dawg
Very cool and creepy. 10/10
bro why i can't even turn on the electricity at the start?...
have you played it before?
no-?
I'm facing the same problem. There's audio but the switch doesnt turn to the left like it does for others.
this function is buged, it wont work properly on windows 7, used to happen to me too
The part where came out the computer actually got me ngl
/editthis game is SO BEAUTIFUL. it gets scary when *that thing* happens but during almost the entire game i felt so nostalgic and sad(?). not sad, more like that feeling you get when you know that you won't see this person (or this place) anymore. not a goodbye but kinda like it. makes me remember my childhood for some reason. english is not my first language so it's hard for me to express myself sorry lol
nice game
This was a fun experience! Very surreal and unique, I recommend!
