Well, this was surprisingly well put-together. Got rather engrossed till 4AM and didn't notice. Guess the humanity of the characters, mystery and atmosphere sold it for me, seeing how I seriously disliked Medieval Cop while doing this quest badge run. Bit sluggish sometimes though, especially when trying to replay.

Well I was starting to get into the story, but then the game crashed in the third chapter and apparently didn't save. Then on the second attempt it crashed during the second chapter and still didn't save. I wouldn't care all that much, but since that makes it problematic to win the Best of 2017 quest, I am quite perturbed.

Intriguing storyline unravels with lots of unexpected twists, combining sci-fi and horror. Feels like reading Lovecraft or Bradbury. This game is a piece of art with elements of literature, graphics, music and digital. It forces us to rethink our relations with others, with ourselves, our own consciousness and past, our feeling of guilt. Beth’s interaction with her deceased son and her ‘copied’ garden reminds of Solaris a lot. Characters are full of stereotypes, annoying traits, fighting over small things, which shows how imperfect we all are. If Sent is presumably an advanced AI of general type (even some current narrow AIs are claimed to have passed Turing’s test), it is unclear why Sent operates such outdated categories as gender, and why Sent being ‘a man‘ would be considered as worrying in relation to Ink. AI may be just a tool for humans, or an equal partner, or even somewhat superior - to 'teach us humanity', if we cant overcome ourselves... anyway 5/5. Waiting for more.

I recommend an auto-mouse program (from Delphino for Example) to skip the dialogues. It saves time and your hardware ;-)

Screw this 'game'.
Completely nonsensical and obscure puzzles. Stupidly slow loading times which makes the god damn 'hint' system a freaking nightmare when most of the time it's just a place to plug more stupid story. Just no, this stupid visual novel was part of Kongpanion best of 2017? It's complete bull!

As much as I like this game... can we PLEASE have an option to turn off gore... I for one do not feel like throwing up in real life whenever any of the characters do so in the game - please and thank you

Just so you guys know, if you aren't super into the story line, holding enter skips dialogue! (Personally, I've loved the game so far!!)

This needs a back button for when I realize I missed the end of the last statement. Just to go back to the previous piece of dialog.

This game is awful. Puzzles are nice, the art is a little weird. But it eats way too much ram for a visual novel. Losing the progress just after getting the first badge was delightful; losing it again after passing level 4, which crashed the browser, was marvelous. And the characters are really obnoxious. I was going to end this just to see if my suspicions about the plot would get confirmed,but honestly I don't care anymore. I just hope this never gets BOTD on a weekend.

Hold down the enter key to skip the conversations, you don't really need them for the puzzles. (You'll need to read the hints though, if you're stuck)

Rae is a programmer... he was supposed to know at least basics of math. After solving the Celsius puzzle with CFKDN letters, he argued with Liza and said there were THOUSANDS of combinations. That is essentially wrong. There are only 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 combinations of those 5 letters to try. Trying 120 combinations would not take that much time, and so risking being burnt alive in that chamber was not worth it. Obviously Rae was quite stupid....
That's assuming each letter is only used once. Like Rae says, if an answer like CCCCC is possible, the number of possible solutions quickly shoots up to the ~3K range!

Firefox refuses to load this game. Chrome loads it (very slowly but still) and always crashs after I've clicked on "The fourth elements hotel". In the meantime, the game totally eats my memory and processor resource alive, even when only Chrome is running this only single page. I often have a hard time playing Unity or WebGL games but this one is the worst of all. Come on, do I really need a godlike computer to play this? More seriously, is there anything to do? I skipped the first badge when it was added because of that but now, I'd really want to complete the Kong quest.

Whoops I guess it is a restricted set also. But the flow really had me believing that the game knew what I was doing. Great Job :-)

Wow, I am impressed with this game. The decision tree logic for the dialog is great! (In other words, the reactions to your choices have been nicely fleshed out. Most games like this tend to have a more restricted set of reactions to the choices )

I KNEW it would be fire next! no sprinklers, warming up... of course it is so obvious that I'm making a fool of myself in the comments section. Great game, though.

I was playing and the game and I absolutely love it. But the webpage said that it couldn't show the game and when I reloaded I lost all my progress.

This was fun when I played to chapter 3. Less fun when I opened the game again, and had to start from chapter 1. It was not fun when I finished level 6, computer crashed, and again, I had to start from level 1. Do fix the save issue. There is no fun pressing quickly clicking through the story to get back to the chapter I was on.
