I saved no one, how purfect! Having to share heaven would be a catastrophe.
rah this game is so cute and good !! played it twice to get the good ending and it was so worth. ending credits and music was so good. great work!
is it bad that a lot of this game made me tear up? ;-;
I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH! The story and the characters... I got atatched to them ngl, definetly gonna play this again!! Also I got both true and worst ending. (also now I want to read natalie's webcomic) (also named my love interest inosuke lol)
In brief awesome game.
Yay, I got the worst ending!
(I also got the true ending earlier; this was just to see.)
Cool little reference to, I'm pretty sure, wayneradio, right?
My character's name was Speegle Grungus
WHERE do i find Natalie :(
nevermind! found her!
OMG THIS WAS THE BEST GAME EVER
end song was totally worth it!!!
replayed it,
got "true" ending.
oliver was the hardest
AHHHHH this game was amazing i like the plot and the sounds!! AND nobody talks about this game anymore🥲
graaah this game!!! there was so much I loved about it but the soundtrack especially?? oboe and bassoon are my favorite instruments and it was so cool to hear them in a game soundtrack omg
BRO I WISH I COULD PLAY AFTER I CALLED LUCIFURRRRR THERE SHOULDA BEEN A WARNING
sigdj odhd toih dhg sHGFGH strh
the good thing about this is that its engaging and stuff
the bad thing about this is that it ends
I love this game, played it for hours while listening to my spotify playlist but I can't figure out how to save more than 4 people specifically sean, tori, elijah and natalie. can someone please help?
NEVERMIND I DID IT OMG THE ENDING I LOVE THIS GAME AAAA
definitely re-playing this sometime
stuck, need one more battery or a screwdriver. got janitor battery
update: got screwdriver
update 2: got both batteries
is it just me or can i not access ITEMS or TO-DO
edit: nevermind i just had to fullscreen
im stuck at the phone, can any1 help
are you still stuck?
i really like your game!! i am brazilian and seeing u putting a diferent language (like portuguese) its sooo nice! thank u so much for your work and effort.
Help it's so good!!! very replayable I want an ending where we have the option to romance :3
yeahhh!
i made an account just to say this game was fantastic thank you for making it i 100 percented it in one go, wasnt even playing music or watching anything, just locked in for like four hours
where tf is tori
also, WHO TF IS RONNIE WOOD AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!
nvm. I feel stupid
how do you FINISH natalie's story arc.. I think i'm on it, but i'm stuck at where she's talking to Tori...
NVM I just had to leave the room 4 a bit and talk 2 others then go to natalie's bedroom
IF SEAN LOSES ANOTHER PIECE OF PAPER I'M KILLING HIM A G A I N MARK MY WORDS.
I CALLED 911 AND IT WORKED OMG
the catnip thing is real though, i'd grow fried chicken if I had some.
Little question... i tried calling 555 but it doesn´t work for me is it a bug or isn´t it right?
*SPOLIER*
You also have to type in Lucifer by typing in the numbers that would be the different letters on the phone after 555
the numbers is 555 5824387
actually there is letters on every number on the telephone and it says on the card "555-LUCIFUR" so you just have to follow every letter thats on the number like the letter r on number 7
you have to call 555-lucifur! pay attention to the abc-dfe-hij, etc. underneath each number. so pizza is 74992, for example.
**spoiler
you need to do the lucifur part too
you gotta call 555-lucifur
This game has given me a tidbit of hope in a time where I'm feeling stuck and unsure in life. I was not expecting so much philosophical depth and connection in something that appeared so silly and full of puns. This made me laugh and cry. Thank you creators <3
p.s. it's sooo totally worth it to replay if you don't save everyone/get best ending :)
good
Played this game a few months ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. The story and the world is ankered deep in my mind. I feel kinda nostalgic thinking about it. I wish I could erase it from my memory, so that I can play it again. 10/10 no notes
I want an ending where you confess your undying love to Oliver, and you kiss and get married.
HELP!?
I actually picked the freaky options when I first met him, personally in-between you and me, I'd pick elijah
honestly i agree
July 2nd 2005 Mr hands
OLIVER AND SEAN WERE/ARE PARTNERS??
wait what
>> N "what? what's upcat?"
>> N "aaa did I say something wrong?"
>> K "no, I didn't think I'd get this far"
I was so confused because I never heard this joke before, then I realized you changed the 'dog' for cat, because this is purrgatory!!!!
yes but this pun is in the actual game too as conversation between numa and kyungsoon
i come back to listen to this game soundtrack once in a while, this is such a great game, luck me to came across it
nearly cried at the end. Loved this so much.
why cant I have say gex with Oliver T_T
cuz sean probably wouldnt let you until he's done with oliver
XD
this is amazing!
this game + bg music has become one of my fav pastimes <3
if u play on mobile u can't write ur name when asked ;/
