Great job!
Great job, can't wait to play the final version
Hello, I really liked your game! The graphics are just stunning and the gameplay is so cool. Don't know if I have seen something like that before. Also, I would like to know if you are interested in translating the game on different languages. If you are, then I can try to translate your game into Russian! So, what do you think about it?
I done been Pag'd.
I don't know if trying to get promoted in this strange place is a good thing or not. Either way I did my best to make a good first impression and had some laughs as you can see in my gameplay:
Oh Bilge, what weirdness are you trying to unleash on the world with this game? Haha, I haven't through about a pager in forever! That butterfly was awesome and that room with the gun trash can was genius! I love that you went with the black and white look with this game. Thank you for this crazy experience and since it's on my wishlist, because you made me promise, I'm looking forward to the full game when it releases!looking forward for the floor in which you can kill peopl
The first day of a new job is always nerve-wracking.
Luckily, this place seems pretty chill.
I have a problem: with my old macmini and Firefox 115.17.0esr I do not see anything. With my 2014 macbook and Google Chrome 116.0.5845.187 I see the game, I can move using keyboard, but I do not have control of mouse. Same problem with my ebook reader Android based (Onyx Note3) and touch. I'm missing something or is the hardware too old?
good gaem

The artstyle and vibe is really cool! How did you get the game to look like this? Also the humour is great, and the colleague running away genuinely kind of startled me. Anyway, I already wishlisted the game! Looking forward to more of this game!
red guy :}]
Hahaha at 'start running' I didn't know what to do so I held down control and walked forward and closed the window 😭
Anyway I love it. You definitely caught me out.
me too fr core
:D
haha thank you <3
thank you so much for the gameplay!!
Second level had me grinning like a fool and it only gets better. This may well be the best brewed blend of second guessing and what the fuck I've ever tasted. ahhh
hehe thank you for playing!!
I really enjoyed the aesthetic and atmosphere! The game is full of nice surprises, with a great humor to which I adhere completely.
thank you so much!!
Show post...
amazing game! kind of confused about the doors on the last floor though.
thank you!!
thank you so much for the video, glad you liked it!!
it will probably be English only at launch, but I can add other languages later if there’s enough interest!
;D
Love the 1 bit graphics!
thank you!!
Cursed to play Flappy Birds endlessly is my hell
🐦 💔
played this while watching the livestream of Sarah Boone the suitcase killer. Doubly odd day.
thank you for playing :D
🔥🔥
I absolutely adored the game, already wishlisted it. But although I explored every nook and crany (I think) I didn't figure out how to do that to the red guy! What's up with that?
draw on the blackboard
thank you for the gameplay!!
on the box delivering i do it right and it tells me to exit then it says i fail
i think you missed the puzzle of it. there is a second box
ty
got the red guy (kinda)
❤️
Very awesome! Nice puzzles and I love the art direction!
thank you!!
Great project! Loved the idea, the little jokes and details... I really felt watched all the time (the cameras always pointing to the player is a nice touch). I don't know if this is a bug or some secret message, but I received incomplete messages two times. The first text was just "Welc" in the first level, and then I received the complete text. I believed it was on the third level, not sure, that the first message was "a". Keep it up! Nice work!
thank you so much!! the text mistakes are intentional :d
glad you liked it, thank you so much!!
Yeah, I really appreciate that. I hope you keep going making this kind stuff. Nice game, congratulations.
thank you for the video!!
Thank you for the game. The viewers loved this one. I wish much more success and much more projects from you, buddy.
Wow, really nice game, I love the art style and that you also built it in Construct, I built a museum game in construct and I thought it was funny we built amost the exact same planters :P Yours look better then mine though.
You're game is super clean though, really nice job.
thank you so much!! haha nice plants :D
:D I've decided to just go all in with Construct after seeing what you did with it, also I never heard about BlockBench until I saw your game.
100% going to buy your game on steam when it comes up, I do wish you luck with it, I know what it takes to build a game in 3D on construct, you worked some magic there.
This is a great game so far, but my god I'm slightly sensitive to flashing lights (most warnings don't apply to me, so i usually ignore them. my fault for clicking the enter key right as the game started up) and this game is making me feel like im about to have a seizure 😭. If you could somehow smooth out the visuals a bit more, I'm 100% willing to pay for the full version. But the fact it runs on my absolute potato of a computer and only took <1 second to download says something. This is really impressive, I am in complete awe this is actually 1 bit.
thank you for the feedback and very sorry to hear that! The palette option in the settings might help a bit. I will also check what kind of accessibility options can I add for the visuals in the full game.
This game runs flawlessly on my outdated office laptop, so 10/10 straight away, the visual style is amazing. Really immersive surreal kino.
thank you!!
Really cool concept! Can't wait for the full game.
thanks for the gameplay! <3
7.7/10 - Small visual feast with a fun concept, (20 - 25 mins), I'm excited for the full game because this demo has a lot going for it whether it's the visuals, the locations, the tasks you perform and the comedy, it all ties in to create an enjoyable experience as you just go with the flow and enjoy the game. There's so much more I want to say about how great it is but sometimes in life you just keep it simple, and this game is simple but great at what it does.
The game offers some horror elements/ references but they are a small aspect of the game in the whole scheme of things and as a whole there isn't anything tense, scary or creepy in the game, but that's okay because the game works well with what it delivers in terms of the themes in the demo.
I also don't have any negatives or bugs that I encountered in the demo and I'm just excited to see more from it!
thank you for the review!!

amazing game! kind of confused about the doors on the last floor though. I went through 0 and it just reset the game
thank you so much!! that room is like level select, you can go back to last floor by finishing the level or just restarting the game. Sorry for the confusion!
thank you so much for the gameplay!!
