How does the game fit the theme?
This game fits the theme "Strange places" because it is all about going to different vacation spots and experiencing what strange things are going on in them.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All code and assets were created during the jam only. I did use some asset packs however, I'm not sure when those were made. I have links to them in my game's description.

But this project was created the Sunday the game jam theme was announced and everything in it is original to this project!

How many people worked on the game?

This was a interesting game, I loved the vibe. I appreciate how truly awful the computer work was. Was there a way to win at Blackjack though? The guy kept murdering me even when I won... Still was a great time though! Would love to see more maps!

Something I love about your game: I love the music and the sound design, I also love the design of the island and the little parkour you can do. I really liked the hidden brother bit, it was quite funny. I love the character designs!

Something I wish your game had: I wish it had more maps, as the island is really cool so i'd love to see what more complex ideas you come up with to explore the mind of the character. I would also love to see maybe a different approach to the desktop tasks, or switching them up a bit.

It was a really fun experience and it'd be great if you keep working on it!

Really good game! The music is great and I see a lot of potential to expand it! I hope to see the end product.
I didn't notice the message notification on the computer at first, but it was easy to follow after that 

Submitted

Funny and nice little project you did! I like the visuals and the concept of the game, so you can escape your boring life. The scene at the island reminds me of the "PEAK" island starting scene. I didn't like the mouse sensitivity. The rest feels nice. Too little, though; I was expecting longer gameplay time.

Really cool concept! The retro vibe and the contrast between the office and the island were super immersive. I’d love to see this project expanded with more zones in the future. great work! :)

Submitted

Really nice visuals, and progression in the game!! You have taken care of almost everything in the game. 

I really like the randomness of the events. 

The mail in the staring scene need to look more like a notification, I almost missed it because it was very small.

I think you are going to continue this project, as this can be expanded.

Overall, a very nice game, I loved it!!

Submitted

Love the concept and vibe !

Submitted

Great concept! Loved the severance vibe with pointless office work and escaping to a dream world via the pc interface. Btw I suppose it's impossible to win the black jack game? :P

Good job!

It's probably too late but you left a review on my game and I'd love to play yours but I'm on a mac. I'm guessing it's too late to add a web or mac build? If not, let me know cause I'd love to try it out!

Submitted

A really cool concept that fits the theme very well!

Submitted

Would definitely be interested in seeing more daydreams/vacation places! Cool concept that could go anywhere

Submitted

The opening is really really great. Just clicking the green buttons captures the reality of many our lives under capitalism really well! In general this seems like a really cool concept, just wish there was a bit more :)

Submitted

Really cool game! The vibes of this game are amazing. The visuals really add a lot to the overall asthetic of the game. Great job!

Submitted

This game fits the theme really well! great job :)

Submitted

I love this!!!! 

Submitted

Haha this was a cool loop! Im not sure if im able to go to other islands or just the one but i did beat the dealer and was definitely not expecting that lol I thought the desk space when you zoomed out was very cool i liked the vibe! Overall pretty solid entry good job!

Submitted

That was a crazy experience. It took me a while to notice the emails, so I spent a lot of time clicking green squares hahaha

The island had a mysterious vibe that was really interesting, good job!

Submitted

Nice game! The art style and overall atmosphere of the office really fits well into the theme

Submitted

I liked the game, but: nothing bad happens if I click on the red button, I just clicked on the same button many times and got 500 solrted green buttons. The dealer has never won, bad for him. And I wanted to go dancing again and the shark ate me :(
