Whoa the ending took me by surprise. Nice game, though a fullscreen option would be great, as the window almost clipped my monitor. (Yes, I still have an old school 4:3 monitor ).

There *is* a fullscreen option!

If you press escape in game you get a little menu. I'm not sure how well it would cope with different aspect ratios though... alpha software.

The safe puzzle was really unfair though, I only knew their ages because of MiteWiseacreLives' comment. The only information I could gleam through the game was that I was two years older than Jenny.

It's hard but I don't think it's unfair. You get the current date from the calendar and the PC tells you that he got the plant for Jennifer's 22nd birthday *last year*, thus giving you the year of her birth

Very cool stuff, especially for an engine done in two weeks!
I liked the aforementioned hard puzzle, figuring it out was the most rewarding moment in the game for me. I did get stuck with the pixel hunt one though although I went back the correct general hotspot at least twice, figuring it had to be there, and still missed it.

The pixel hunt is unfortunate and if I had time I would've changed that but that is how it goes I suppose. I'm glad you enjoyed it none the less.

Ah I must have somehow just missed looking at the plant.

Anyway, I really liked the soundtrack, the piano music was really nice.

Spoiler

One more thing; the hotspot for the parcel was also called 'letters', as well as the 'letters' surrounding it which made it really easy to miss.

Unfortunately a lot of the basic designy stuff suffered due to the time constraints and having to build an engine.

Hopefully this month's MAGS will be more considered.

Good game. Seeing all the changing elements in your surroundings, you could see the ending coming, but as the game was short, that didn't bother me much.

I've had some trouble with the safe's combination:

Spoiler

I tried adding the years of birth, 1988 + 1990, but that didn't do it. Then I read here that she was born 1986, as the plant was a birthday present for her 22nd birthday one year ago. But in the game, text reads that it has been her 20th birthday.

Engine seems quite polished already, but I encountered a bug. When standing on the stairs and looking at the picture (that's hiding the safe), I got locked in position and couldn't move, so I had to restart.

The graphics were awesome, the music fitting.

Spoiler

It was for her 20th birthday, I was mistaken.
The current year (according to the calendar) is 2009 so that makes her born in 1988.
The PC states he is two years older than her which means he was born in 1986
1988 + 1986 = 3974

The pathfinding is done using polygons in Adore instead of a pixel mask like AGS and the algorithm is still not perfect and occasionally the player can get caught in a corner.
Although I did think i'd fixed that... I will take another look.

Thanks for playing!

Ah, get it. I suck at math
