an interesting game...
well, this was a good game, with nice pixel-graphics, good controls/good game-mechanisms and an interesting, lovecraftian story going on.
as for the day-to-day ritual, i liked how it progressed from:
-SPOILERS BELOW-
day 1: normal day, everything happens as everyday human activities, drinking coffee, brushing your teeth, going to work, etc etc
day 2: not-so-normal day. things start to get wierd. since the water company cuts off your water, (and you cannot make coffee anymore), things start to get wierd. the atmosphere around the protagonist's neighborhood becomes cloudy and ominous, while the fact that he loses his job isnt helping much. (his boss is a jerk). furthermore, his neighboor jim dies, and reappears in front of his window, a living-dead, a zombie saluting an old neighbor. (close the curtains, QUICK!)
day 3: chaos and decay reign supreme. the lovecraftian nightmare has arrived, and at the protagonist's house, we see the tentacles of the octopus monster, through a hole in the wall.
everything is broken/old/neglected.
at least, the coffee machine (kinda) works, and the tap is still having liquid in it...
and the protagonist even has a new job. a much darker job...
but the ritual remains the same.
THE END
(also, i loved the new arcane, medieval tool that the protagonist was using in order to brush his teeth... (on day 3). what was it? it looked like a giant ritualistic knife/like a crossbow... nice details)
-END OF SPOILERS-
so, overall, its a great and atmospheric game, and given that it was created in just 48 hours, it increases its value.
you should definitely make a longer, more detailed sequel to this, with more ''rituals'', more actions, more dialogue choices, and more stuff in general.
perhaps you could make it be a ''choose your own adventure'' game, where each choice has its own consequences?
it would be awesome.
and it could span in a period of a week, instead of 3-4 days.
anyways, this game was awesome, so keep up the good work!
