Dont you just hate it when the apocalypse happens and Larry becomes everything? Yeah me too. Fun game with an interesting concept and take on the theme

Very special graphics! I liked it a lot. I wish there was a way to speed up the dialog a little - I clicked on a response by mistake trying to figure out how to do that

I wasn't sure when to close the door, and I was too scared to open it :)

Love the premise, we al have the annoying neighbor we would love to just shut up lol. I get that the text is kinda slow for the immersion of going insane, but it does not compliment the trial-and-error nature of the gameplay and makes it difficult for me to want to try again, y'know? But I still enjoyed the meter management aspect, and Larry is chill

Developer

Definitely, Thanks for the feedbacks !! We've been able to play test after the submission ended lol !!! I'm taking notes from these as the rating phase goes so we can do post jam fixes for balancing 

Submitted(+1)

really nice artstyle, i liked the way larry talked tho i was not able to figure out when was the optimal time to shut the door, so i was not able to complete it. It would be great if thre was a mechanic to interrupt their talking other than shuting the door, but still, congrats on your entry!

Developer

Thanks !! I've had the idea of having some items on the side for other actions but for the jam's time it didn't feel like we'd be able to implement that so we focused on the main loop first :p

Super cool game, the art is so good, all the effects and things that appear when you go insane are so good. Great submission!

Submitted(+1)

A really unique theme! I think I figured out what topics help your sanity, but I couldn't get quite make it to the end. I would like to see your take on different kinds of neighbors, and what topics they would discuss.

Cool artwork, a bit lacking on game-play, but the premise is absolutely terryfing! XD I would add some sound effects to maybe indicate if the answer was good or bad, right now it feels kind of random.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the advice !! the answer's effects aren't random, tho you're right about the sound effects thanks about that

Are you supposed to be able to close the door whenever you want? After the first time I closed it and then reopened it I could not close it again, it went on until the apocalypse. could close again when restarting, not sure if that was a bug or intended.

Pretty unique premise! Really nice art brings 2000s point and click adventures vibes!

Great job!

Developer

Oh yeah we added a certain cooldown for some responses it's possible one of them is a bit too much, we gonna try to balance it more after the review phase !!

Submitted(+2)

I got to about 20 seconds remaining and i wanted to kill larry. Spent about 45mins to an hour playing, writing down the best responses.... Is it beatable without relying on a good rng run with the dialog options??

Im genuinly curious as larry can go f*** himself!

Developer

I think with enough luck you can beat it x) !! After the jam we're gonna do some balancing fixes we didn't have time to fully playtest it for difficulty haha (the secret ending is to shut him up by kissing him passionately ) Thanks for playing :D !!

It's quite the original premise for a games with great fittingly creepy visuals, but also really difficult. I could barely get beneath 2:00 minutes. Is there actually a strategy to it or do you just have to hope the right dialogue option shows up?

Developer

The strategy is to balance the closing of the door with the dialogue choices you take somehow x) the game is actually winable✌🏻

I dont understand everything but a game inspired by lovecraft and necessarily a good artistic direction ahah ! Good art ! (  just the music loop which is annoying ) GG !

Developer

Hehe then guess the music loop did its job haha, I made intentionally annoying "for the immersion", wouldn't be complete an experience without that lol

apparently im not as fluent in yapanese, but good game!

I love the ArtWork and horror vibe!

Just like IRL. 

Is the insanity supposed to decrease after closing the door?

(Very cool idea and art style)

Developer(+1)

Haha nah we made it so that it just stops for a little more difficulty while lowering the health instead !!

fun fact it's actually inspired by IRL exchanges I've had lol

Submitted

Yeah. So the dialogues were a bit more relatable than I wanted to admit. But it is crazy how similar situations actually appear.

Guys this clever! Good job, very original idea :)
