bro i love your games but the clif hanger
war crimes will be done
played this and Good Job. Dude, you are my biggest inspiration AHHH!!!!
You are literally the sweetest!! Thank you for playing both games - I'm super happy you enjoyed them sm!!! <333
Another wonderful game in this series! Cheeze wizard approves!
I do like the game, but I think you could work on the random DE. I have tried really hard to get one, and instead I keep getting the ax. Love the style though.
I'm glad to hear that UvU It was a good idea you played it :^)
got the explosion ending like 4 times in a row i was about to give up lol
That's some bad luck omg
Just replayed it, cute game!
lovely game! really liked the true ending :]]]
The randomness of explosions was actually a bit frustrating. Also it would be nice to have items interact which each other. Remember the glued pens? What if you could unglue them using the scissors? However I really liked the foreshadowing in the text box. But I do agree with another commenter in that the intro should only play on your first attempt. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.
Also what were the hidden words when you clicked on the sign again? I wasn't able to figure it out.
i was really hoping the scissors and the pullover would let me get a piece to put it in the box-
Thank you sm for playing!I did like your suggestions - having the items interact is sth I wanted to do originally, but didn't have to time for :')
I don't really remember the hidden words all to well, but I think it was sth along the lines of "Run Away and Hide"?
With such a try-and-see approach to the game, it really needs a way to skip the intro. Is there any logic to solving the game? I got 2 explosions and a split head so far...
Also, do items disappear?
I've interacted with everything and can only transmutate one item so I have no idea what else to do...
you're supposed to get all of the 4 dead ends, then the true end will play automatically. If you got an explosion with an item you should try again cause the explosion actually is a random occurence from what i can see
in my case my i had all the items and then i used the item that i hadn't. then the explosion stopped lol
The explosion happens every time though. Maybe 30% is too high a chance?
EDIT: I tried it again. I finally got a different result. In fact, they all worked this time and I was quickly delivered into the next part of the game.
How did I get the explosion ending 4 times with the sisscors -_-
funny thing is I thought the sisscors always exploded u lol
i got explosion with stuffed animal
I LOVE THE GAME!!!!!
This is really cute I loved it!!
<33 the ending made me really happy !!
It said the game time was 20 minutes but I got both of the ending in like 5-10 minute
woahhhhhh, that was so coooool!!!! great work!
reminds me of Escaped Chasm. just like ec i had no idea what was going on the whole time (due to my smooth brain) but it captured me enough to keep me entertained. good game 10/10
Masterpiece
又磕到了！love Olivia's stories!
im confused... but I tried bc I love your games!!! (if u do see this I got all the endings but the true ending and the exploding one :,<
i believe its randomized, and you just got very unlucky.
dang it
Guys i just understood the lore i was so confused at first
I enjoyed this game
Be happy KI56
damn, nice
how to get endings im confused
The explosion ending is random (30% chance)
For the other endings, place a cup, a plushie or a cup in the box.
The true ending triggers after getting all these endings
ohhh, alr, thanks!
Besides the one near the plant, where is the other cup? I can't do anything to the plant or pens....
It appears to have been a mistake in the above comment, the three objects are the cup by the plant, the plushie, and the scissors on the desk.
I really love your games but i don't have time to play them so most of the times i watch ppl play and talk about the loreee
Oh, that's what I like doing as well! I'm glad you enjoy the loooore
New fan of your games!
review:
damn you make a lot of games that its making me look forward to the next game youll make. anyways, this was the chronological prequel of good job, it was very short, like, very... but i was curious to find out what would happen after the end. in short, kathinka always delivers with the art style even tho i literaly played almost all the kathinka games today, i found it nice, ty.
Thank you for playing all of my ga(y)mes, haha! I love making fun, short games <33 I hope you'll enjoy the next game UvU
cool game!!! i thought i'd keep exploding XDDD
i kept exploding but eventually i got the ending ! :D
I can't get all the endings, I only got the Scissors one, the Key one, and the axe one lmao I need help
NVM! Everytime I did the scissors, they exploded. I thought that was the ending. Got the True Ending
key one? What’s the key one
This was a delightful game, played it directly after Good Job! However, I did get the explosion ending about 70 percent of the time, which I assume wasn't your intention haha
I am back, I finished the game, I swear bro Kathinka's games are actually good, And just like "Good Job!" I WASN'T EXPECTING THE PLOT TWIST BRUH, those plot twists be amazing, Overall, just G.O.O.D even if it was shorter then her other games, I still enjoy playing your games Kathinka.
Olivia DLC is literally the perfect title for this lol
Also I'm rly happy that you enjoyed this game (and especially the plot twist - they're the most fun to think of hehehe) ^^
OH MY DAMN GOD, IT IS OLIVIA'S DLC!
Megon here, If this is another one of Kathinka's game, I gotta try, Also it just looks like Olivia DLC.
this was a cute short game. wish there was more but i really loved it. keep up the good work!
Thank you sm for playing!! Your reactions to the Dead Ends were rly fun imo haha
Also if you're interested in more story, "Good Job" has more to offer! This game was a little project for a short game jam to introduce a new chara :>
ooooooo!!!! I'm so down for more! can't wait!
I FORGOT U MADE A NEW GAME AND FINISHED IT IN 1 DAY!! I GOT THE ENDING: TRUE,death 1, sissors ending, falling into void ending, and the one where the roof collapses- (I CANT REMEMBER THE REST BUT YOUR GAMES ARE ALL AMAZING! AND IM PLANNING TO PLAY ALL OF EM SINCE I ONLY TRIED 3 (the dress up, Good job, good Idea)
I'm happy to hear that you liked this game!!! Also congrats on collecting all of the endings hehe ✨✨
AAA TYSMMM!!!!!!!! (love yur games sm<3333333333)
This was fun! I really liked how this game changed things up from "Good Job!" whilst also keeping its minimalism, and I liked learning more about Olivia's past.
