Yay! No temporal weirdness in the Warp Zone Place!
Yay progress! Yay dungeon-end stuff only left! May the boss be not too hard to do! Then again, with all the tools available, a challenge might mandate the boss be complex. :crosses_fingers:!
Metahumor / funny in how it takes so long before every section of the first continent is easily teleportable!
Genderless is nice and simple! Woo fun facts!
Funny thing, if you talk to food truck guy through the machine before the real game starts, the text box starts and then jumps into the right position, and it can happen repeatedly if you step back all the way and try again…
In my bug reports, I kept calling them Vending Machine guy lol
Interesting how we only get LAIKA’s name in all caps at first, and red, so we’re not sure if that’s her name or if it’s been twisted somehow! Heh
Minor thing at start is it’s unclear how Ruthi ends up in Tarjin’s space after movement control returns but she ends the cutscene all the way down away from him? But I guess she / they took Laika to safety before turning to the park.
That’s some nice hair sway in the walk cycles and non-mirrored sprites!
Took me so long to find the drinking location of Alex… I thought it was a automated device! Only looking at the background image of the game, and his job, made me guess at it!
What starts with DU? I kept thinking it was an acronym, not a shortening, but of what? Du… Not even the map helps… And also up and down are opposite of intuitive? If I’m on the top, I expect Down to take me down a floor, but I need Up to do that?
Really should autosave after a name completion. I finished a name, and quit then finished my final name and had to redo my previous…
Should this game need full-screen? Because it looks like it might, at the score entry screen… If I get to the second level, I can’t see the “Escape to Exit” which clashes with fullscreen anyway.
Would’ve been nice to know Manifest v2 doesn’t need full names. Lol the punny names!
Well. That explains that. Time to try other letters. … And the other obvious option worked. Consistency!
And Name unlocked… Now, what’s ID? Is it just a random number of my choosing, or something else?? Oh. That ID.
When does auto-save happen? I put a name in, refreshed and it doesn’t stick. And how many valid Titles are there? Apparently S can be two different titles. heh … EDIT: Oh, nevermind, you can write anything you want. So long as ID is right, lol… HA! we can rename them!
EDIT: Would like being able to go Back from Notes, since I did that immediately and typing that file is hard.
I thought there was only one number per Feed, and it was pure chronological, until I got my second 2 due to a lucky guess from playing Type Help a bit, and then just guessed at numbers until I got my second second number. Lol!
I wonder if every location has every number… Seems like it.
bushmonkey, if you’re reading this, maybe fix the “01-BR-1-2” Feed in the screenshots, to represent the current game?
If Cargo Bay is not CB, I’ll be so annoyed.
Took me two tries, I thought I could immediately run after getting the necessary things fixed up, but nope.
Decided to disable the things because it was the only thing left, other than trying to prep for the other option.
Well, good to know it isn’t the totally wrong thing to do, even though I never used the choice it unlocked.
I wish I could download this so I don’t have to come back here if I wanna play it again, but good game!
If you wanna be diagetic, maybe make the drawers bigger and write the words length wise instead of top-to-bottom so you have enough space instead of needing to mouse-over?
This is already a full-screen game, so you have all the screen real-estate and don’t have to just zoom in on tiny graphics for a menu?
ooh, if that screenshot’s the game over screen, looks real good!
Gonna test out the bugs I reported now…
Seems good except for how it captures Menu Exit X! Lol
Oh, they switched positions. huh.
Paladin including Tarjin at the end there, after the green! Sweet!
…
Squib: a short humorous or satiric writing or speech
hmm.
You’re welcome! I decided to try again and finally got it, I tried so many options, but all it took was figuring out what the right first word was! Or maybe exactly what kind of sentence I would be saying in English, given the ~100% word I thought should be there.
Because I paid just a bit more attention this time!
Oh, there’s a second sentence-making puzzle. mmm. Gosh, I froze up on the last word there, grokked it too hard and couldn’t translate in the moment lol. No pun intended!
Ooh, third puzzle is even (slightly?) harder! Noun-conjugations or whatever! Yay for Inventory! And those last word options… Lol never having to get any item beyond getting the phone number.
Phew! Took a guess with the right middle word because of your meme-y way of making them made the first particle or whatever a good guess!
Lol how they finally beat the tower! HAAAAA! Lol it even has a response for that!
Epilogue! Slight shippy vibes! Yeah! Lol regrets.
ooh. even shippier! Drinks! BASED!
squibbling > squabbling [?]
If notepad line crosses over into another line, a newline doesn’t newline but makes a space.
Is current web version this version? Because closing Notepad with X is causing inputs being put into the Pad that shouldn’t be there. Like X and Q, and W ETC.
And even closing with Tab doesn’t totally prevent it? Closing with Tab and opening from the menu options is still showing issues?
Or is it my keyboard or something? hmm.
And Insert can open the notepad?
Can talk to Vending Machine guy from behind the machine? Probably shouldn’t? But funny?
If I click and drag and let go, I get tons of clicks??
Eh. Gonna replay this, and yeah, this game can be beaten in under 1hr: First run commentary quit at final boss:
Altheia! A.k.a Truth! Heh!
… Woo! LOG! Lol autoscroll too! Nice!
…
Lol Paladin Cop~!
…And not so funny. But interesting setup. Now to watch TV!
…
Striving for Truth. mmm.
…
Lol interrupter hair.
…
ooh. She’s the Tower of Babel! I assume! Towery.
…
Name: ??? lol
…
Lol old hag. … love and affection lol … And now it’s happening! … Fire tutorial indeed! … ooh, can only cross at crosswalk! … I should’ve thought to use the notepad earlier lol … AmoGus! HA! … Nehida is tree. hmm. Makes me think of https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Nahida … Uncut interview lol … Lol just guessed the phonecall answer and won?
Gen MZ! … Final battle is a bop!
Oooh! Clicking words! And the final word probably is obvious. The first set, well, I know what not to pick… hmm. … Ooh, no bad end cutscene. aw. Maybe write Game Over in BaBel? … Oh, Notepad stays across saves. Nice! …
Fun references! Yay, some progress! Heh, I only know about Runescape due to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf-Fe5unI_M … May next week go better!
I only got an antenna due to comments saying it was useful. Otherwise I would’ve not spent my money on something that had a limited lifetime.
At least now I unlocked Anomaly Value increase?
I guess Coins per Scan is actually a “damage” increase and I got it too high so I whited out due to killing them too fast and respawning too fast?
I was wondering what the point of moving my main antenna around, but then I did it repeatedly and it got further away, so I figured it out in the end.
Lol the timing of me seeing this vid’s ad: https://youtu.be/4fzuxbyO77c?t=393
https://muddasheep.itch.io/faith-in-despair
Me knowing of two card-builder roguelikes now, and one from a vid that released like a day after your Steam announcement. The chances, are they astronomical??
