BrandyBuizel responds:
Yea but the game?
*reply, that sounds like a browser issue, we can't quite control that
I like the concept for this game it's kinda cool. I know that this was a game jam game so there's gonna be a few bugs which makes sense. There is a bug that was annoying which was that every time I hit up or down, my webpage would go up and down which made it kinda frustrating to play the game and finish it. Don't know if that's just me though. Still, I did like this overall, good job!

Thanks!
That's a byproduct of the engine being unable to take focus your inputs away from the browser so you end up scrolling down the webpage(present in all construct 3 games as far as I know :/). I'd recommend using WASD instead but we'd like to leave the option open.
The game suffers from a few different things:
- One major flaw; it takes too long to go through the text. Yes, I know, it is only a few seconds, but this is a big deal since you only give the player a short amount of time to complete the game. Plus, in order to find the correct actions to complete the game, you need to experiment, meaning you have to play through the game multiple times; this means waiting through the text. After multiple tries, the wasted time adds up. There should be a skip button (I've beaten the game, only interacting with everything I had to and yet I had one hour left before bedtime. You really didn't leave any wiggle room, did you?)
- I don't know what the point of the pinata is. If it is a joke, then it's really not funny, especially with the text you have to wait through to find it and the time you wasted spending on it.
- The game also has glitches:
-- I got stuck in the chimney in the room where you have to pick up toys. After disabling the room, I pressed space over the chimney and I got stuck there.
-- In the bathroom, if you move over specific objects in the room, copies of the boy will appear (also, you can leave the room without getting dressed).
Still, I liked the game and I hope to see more from you in the future. Good luck!

Ding ding ding you've found the point of the game! It's supposed to be a chore to get anything done(the theme was "what does home mean to you") and the textbox does in fact get slower each time you see it.
Sad to say we do know about those couple of bugs, can't quite do anything about it since the software was only free for the duration of the jam, but the duplicates are pretty funny.
What is the point? I can't even get to the end without the AI stopping me at 4am. You guys could've at least given me the option to skip through the dialogue, you know?
BrandyBuizel responds:
All that dialogue must get annoying
