The controls were bugged to me. Switching to fullscreen made the mouse really slow, and after that the browser told me that itch.io was controlling my cursor and to press ESC to get it back. Allowing the control of the cursor would make the mouse unresponsive, and pressing ESC would get it back, but after a click it would take control again, leading to a combination of click, ESC, click, ESC.
Wow... Just wow. This game surely felt like a throwback to the good old days. Such strong vibes of old-school quest games like Legend of Kyrandia; the art, the music, the story - loved every second of it. Hope it grows into something bigger, because it's so captivating!
And... this might be an inappropriate place to ask but do you mind if I were to translate this game into Russian? I just want people who don't know English to try it. If it's not an option at the moment, that is ok, I'd still recommend people to play nonetheless.
Great Sci-Fi game. Captivating history. Nice characters. Surprising and exciting ending. We want to see how it continues. Could you also makes your games in spanish ? Best Regards.
This was awesome. The retro art, the interesting story, the logic behind the puzzles, the story telling, the reveal, everything was on point. And while it is a perfectly fine game by itself, it could also be an opening to a bigger game.
A sci-fi adventure with a man accompanied by a robot, lost in a city he does not know anything about... I get a good "beneath a steel sky" vibe here, but with a touch of horror, which is really good.
Loved this! One small suggestion - I misclicked through dialogue a couple times and missed a line here and there. It would be cool if you could hit a key to go back and reread.
this game was really cool !! loved the puzzles and the ending(s) :) plus characters,, thought Amos was a kewl and cute robot ^_^ (((heh,,, unlocked a new small fandom to hyperfixacate on,,/j))))
I think I got a softlock bug. On the day where the fire has gone out, the bucket looks and says it's empty but the water pump says I can't pump when the bucket is full.
Loved it! This had such a strong Twilight Zone feeling, it was beautiful. Cool puzzles and storytelling with all the items, I had a lot of fun with this.
Thank you very much for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I am still working on the Tragic Loss of M. Slazak, but will be releasing Carnival first, so it will likely be next year for Slazak.
Honestly, just a really solid story that executed very well. Puzzles were simple and fun, and the pixelated aesthetic was knocked out of the park. Obviously the music is a bonus to. Nothing short of perfection.
HI! I found you have a huge potential. But consider the piano next time. It takes out of the universe you are trying to communicate, in my opnion. Kind Regards!

It may happen one day!

Loved it!
But too short I had an existensial crisis when it ended. like after you binge watch a great tv show!
I'm sorry! But also glad you liked it :)
Nice game, really liked cozy vibe and music in first part, great combination with unhurried point and click gameplay.
Thank you!

A good suggestion, I will see what I can do
"i love Amos" we all say in unison
WE LOVE AMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's the hero we didn't know we needed
this game was really cool !! loved the puzzles and the ending(s) :) plus characters,, thought Amos was a kewl and cute robot ^_^ (((heh,,, unlocked a new small fandom to hyperfixacate on,,/j))))
Amos will appreciate that :)
I think I got a softlock bug. On the day where the fire has gone out, the bucket looks and says it's empty but the water pump says I can't pump when the bucket is full.
Hmmm, never had that happen... I will look into it!
It wasn't a huge deal, it only took a couple of minutes to get back there from the start of the game once I knew the puzzle solutions.
I liked this game a lot! I'd be really interested to see where the story goes if you decided to develop it into something full-length.
Love it! 😁 I need more of the story! What happens next? 👀 I really wanna know haha.
I may continue it one day...
please do hahaha some of us are curious to find what happens next to the characters 👀

Thank you
verry nice verry nice
Thank you
Amazing short story! Well done!
Thank you!
reminded me of the first graphic shareware programs on the old 286ibm circa 1988? and the old Sierra games..
I grew up on Sierra games :)
Such an amazing story, twists and realizations, i hope to see more great titles like this one in the future.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
