I liked the game! I do wish there was a faster way to get to 203, or that the number was smaller. Doing a deeper dive into the creator's webpage and other available game gave more clues as to what's going on with Lambie, and how it may connect with other games and the real world. I did find the connection between them interesting, and created small theories as to why 203 and 107 are important, but I don't think there's any real evidence to prove my theory. While the idea is creative, it feels very similar to another game series, that I won't share to avoid spoiling anyone, but overall enjoyed the deep dive and exploring the webpage. 

I'm not a fan of the use of AI generated media, but I thought the story was interesting. I wish there was more effort put into the quality of the writing - I noticed a handful of spelling errors that took me out of the story, making it harder to be involved in the scenes. Nonetheless, it was a good game.

Where to even begin, this game was so amazing. The art, backgrounds, writing and programming were all such amazing displays of artistry! The pacing of the narrative was so compelling and engaging, leaving enough room to get inklings of what might happen while leaving a large part of the story a mystery until the reveal at the end. I particularly love how, even though Maeve's explanation of another person's tone was meant to share how their voice sounded, the words used by those characters conveyed that tone regardless. It felt really rewarding to analyze how Maeve is being spoken to and having her agree with how I perceived the messages. The art, too, was so beautiful! I love how Maeve's sprite and emotions looked. There was enough change for me to notice it out of the corner of my eye while I was reading, and distinct enough for me to see it in my peripheral vision and understand her feelings. I loved her facial expressions! The programming and sound design was equally impressive. Every time sound was used as a scare, I literally jumped out of my seat and yelped. The timing on the sound design was genuinely spectacular, and the editing of the scene transitions, as well as the inclusion of the small interactive part of flipping on the breaker were small things that really helped tie the entire game together. Other than a few spelling errors, this game was clearly well put together by creators who enjoyed the process of making a game together. Amazing work!

I did not know this was a real story, so that was definitely a shock to see real life images. I liked the game! I really liked being able to interact with almost everything in Taka's apartment, the little commentary he would give added a lot of charm to the game. It's a shame part of the game wasn't able to be finished in time, but I enjoyed it nonetheless! Plus you had a nifty workaround that still felt enjoyable. This story reminded me of those stories about Mr. Smiley, that essentially did something similar to this story. I'm unsure if the smiley phone case Taka had was intentional, but I noticed it and felt the connection. :)
I did notice that, after meeting Taka for pizza, I could re-read the message on the computer. It didn't break anything, but I basically went to pizza with Taka twice before I talked to Mr. Man and progressed the story. 

Short and simple, but I enjoyed it! The dynamic chat was fun to see scroll by as I'm running - some of them made me laugh when the timing was off. I was just starting being chased and a viewer said the stream was boring, which sounds about right for livestream viewers. I'd loved to have seen some element of fighting back or hunting the monster, and touching the outer walls killed my momentum. Otherwise, I really liked it!

I loved playing this! The suspense had me lowering the game volume in fear! The art is beautiful, the writing is so evocative - I love how, even when being told how someone's tone sounded, I could still feel that tone in their text. Really an amazing game, great job!
