I'm starting to really dislike visual novels. Less than 15 minutes of puzzle gameplay total in a multiple hour story.

When someone makes a dozen episodes of Medieval Cop crap that you autoclick your way through to get the hell out of there as fast as possible, someone else makes a single Great Game in 17 Chapters, with a gripping storyline and interesting puzzles. Well worth playing and reading! 5/5!

Box puzzle in chapter 13 is really dark and nearly impossible to see on my normal monitor setting (I have sensitive eyes, so need a quite dim monitor). Would appreciate a brighter version for future playthroughs. Thanks :)

This is more of a novel than a game, really, not a puzzle game. A poor one at that with shallow quibbling of superficial characters in spite of some suspense hanging in the air, but puzzles that are not really puzzles without exceptional rules, hints or missing pieces. The ones that make sense are too easy. To leave the transgender aspect to a really late chapter was a smart way of avoiding players to quit early. A shorter and more credible story could have made for an interesting game instead of a turnoff.

I don't get why Ink and Aether stayed in the hallway at the end of 1. If the screen says to move or die, you move. No thinking required.

I really think you should make a forum for this game, if you can. That way, people would be able to discuss theories on kongregate too. Half the fun in this game comes from that.
We've got a subreddit for just that: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExitCorners/
We've also got a discord (the link for that is on the side bar on the subreddit)

That's a goddamn strong narrative.
Some speculation while we wait for the next chapters (spoilers ahead):
Ink is a transgender (hence his change of name and the scar in his chest)
Sent plan was for Ink to be the only one to leave alive, with each other contestant intended to die at each corner (I might be wrong, but this seems fairly obvious)
Still, thats too little in contrast with the immense amount of mysteries left to unfold. Congrats to the developers. Really addictive game.

(spoilers) In chapter 12, Sent says "I'm not a man" but then everyone keeps calling them "he"?! And Ink doesn't even inform the others about that information which could be useful?! WHY??

Looks that way to me. The red area was about the present, and it's been set up for Rae. There was also that moment where he commented about disabilities after they finished it. The name "John Doe" is also just a fill-in name for people who's names are unknown.
Good news is though, he probably doesn't need to worry about having to have equal weight on both sides of his body to move.

sent is lying about being an ai. he makes multiple mistakes that an ai would not make. when ink originally proves that he is not a pre-recorded message, sent gets distracted from his speech by inks drama. an ai would not get distracted in this way, as it would be able to pay attention and speak at the same time, and would already have all that it is going to say be composed before hand.
in addition, he was not able to pay attention and listen to ink and aether's conversation at the same time as he was listening to Rae and Beth fight.

You've got a typo in the boiler room. Where it says 313.15 in the clue (Which is also correct for the Kelvin boiling point), it says 315.15 when ink thinks to himself.

To what extent do the few dialogue choices in-game shape the story? I know some of those choices are referenced at later points in the game (even between seperate episodes), but would a different playthrough have a noticably different plotline?

Gotta say, I kinda saw the AI reveal coming. One of the few options that make sense if you take not being a man or a woman at face value.

All my progress was lost, how do I get it back or do I have to go through the entire game again? not that I mind but I don't remember all my choices.
Sorry this happened. There are a few different solutions, mentioned in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExitCorners/comments/6ues7r/save_data_loss_details_what_to_do/?st=j7qembug&sh=1b3dacfb

Chapter 16 is a little bit tricky, you have to solve it in the right order. For Example, if Feb17 = Mar15 would be the Solution it does not accept Mar15 = Feb17

Oh man this is fantastic, please tell me that you're going to finish this. The characters were great, even if it took me a while to like Liza. Each puzzle was engaging and the story and mysteries had me wanting to know more each time. Fantastic!

The equality in Chapter 16 is only accepted as right if input in one order-- inputting with the dates flipped is indicated as incorrect.

@jacob99503 You might be onto something there, but I don't think it's exactly right. Sent makes clear it is his intention to let some of the costentants leave. This means everyone has a chance to survive. SPOILER WARNING: The garden was designed to let Beth volunteer to stay there and die, but she was entirely free to leave as she got to her senses, even allowing her to continue her life happier, probably. Same for Rae, he could choose to take the pills and die, but the sword from the beyond the green door can be used to cut off his arm and free him, which might even help decreasing his ego. This would also explain why Sent wanted you to pick the green door first, it has to be open to get the sword.
I wonder, though, what had happened if I had picked the red door first...

And finally, given the end to chapter 17, it turns out poor old Joe was facing down after all. Also, on the conversation with Aether about 4, it seems to me they missed a possibility. It could be that there are 4 people because each person needs to get eliminated except the winner. This is, after all, a game. Given how it's played out so far, that could have been Sent's plan.

Also there seems to be a bug in chapter 16 where if you put the dates in opposite it doesn't accept it as an answer, which is really annoying because the way it accepts it is the opposite of how Rae tells you it.

I love this game but it irks me how many times I've accidentally clicked twice and skipped dialog that I wanted to read. It would be appreciated if you could ad a back button for the conversations, or some chat log so I don't have to play through the entire chapter for a single line.
You can use the arrow keys or scroll wheel to go back and re-read text you've missed. Also, addressing your other comment, that's a recent bug that I'm working on getting fixed (should be in the next build).

I relly enjoy this game. I find myself spending hours at a time playing it, sad to say ive soon reached the last avalible chapter for now. I want to run an idea by the dev thou: Have you thought about making this into a book? The characters are very realistic and if u do it right im sure it would sell. But if u do it wrong u would probably die, but thats just a minor problem...
