Puzzle games aren't usually something I seek out, so this was a really neat experience! I thought the AI was pretty funny and the cake offer was always very motivating! Hahaha
I enjoyed trying to figure out each puzzle and came across a few bugs, but none were game breaking!
If I went to edit the options on the start menu, I wouldn't be able to see my mouse anymore. I could find where it was if I pressed "esc" to open the options menu back up but, the moment the menu closed, my mouse would disappear again.
Sometimes the tv monitor wouldn't register I wasn't using it anymore, so I could walk around and hear some keys being entered even though I wouldn't be anywhere near the tv. This could be fixed just by reselecting the tv and deselecting it again, so I hope that helps you find out how to fix that bug!
I could walk through a lot of objects in both rooms where some I couldn't. I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, but I wanted to say something just in case it wasn't!
I really enjoyed the puzzles you put in this game! As a big fan of Mastermind, I especially enjoyed the first puzzle to open the safe! Hahaha
I was a bit mislead by that notepad on the table as I pieced together it was for a 4 digit code, but thought it was specifically to help me with the order of the wires since it was closest to that puzzle. It was only until after we were done editing this video that I saw the little doodle of the soda machine and realized it wasn't just a random doodle, but a hint as to what the paper was meant for. At the time, I hadn't had the soda machine's tablet powered on, so I had no idea that would even have a 4 digit passcode puzzle yet.
My overall experience of the game was positive! I enjoyed the lines put in. I thought the AI was funny! I hope the mechanic gets a well earned break after the running back and forth between the two rooms I made him do as I tried to piece these puzzles together! Hahaha
I'm eagerly looking forward to the next game you make whether it's another puzzle game or something entirely new!
Thank you for making this game and thank you MerulinoMusic for suggesting this to us!
robot.
I loved its puzzles! They were definitely hard, but enjoyingly challenging.
A difficulty I had is, the FPS feels too low whenever I'm changing the camera rotation in the horizontal axis. Never happens on the vertical axis.
Thank you sm! And congrats for finishing the game :) Yes, we have a little bug in the movement. For some reason, not everyone has this issue. Kinda strange.
robot - Nice little puzzles. Very admusical with the style and the music. A hint for the KeyPad would have been good. At first I thought that ALL entries should result in the PIN. I definitely had fun. But i'm also a puzzle guy. Doesn't suit everyone.
Thank you!!
