Best Non Adventure Game Created with AGSAGS Panel Rating
Part quiz game, part visual novel. By nature repetetive, but with some interesting developments along the way.
Edit: Due to positive player feedback, the panel has reevaluated this game and given one extra cup.
Pick of the Month
July 2022
What starts out as a regular quiz show, ends up being something different and stranger! Made in a week for the Dread XP Found Footage jam, Beat the Buzzer is a fun short game with a horror twist, that should provide 20/30 minutes of entertainment.

I loved the old-school visual style and the game had some great ideas. I had no idea what was going on but it was all so deliciously disturbing.
Wow! What looks to be a simple quiz game turns out to be so much more! Highly recommend this one.
Got a ping saying that the download link for the game is broken. Seems to be working fine on my end, but in the meantime I'll repost the itchio link here: https://falselyprofound.itch.io/beat-the-buzzer
Will work on mirror links once I'm done with the post-gamejam build.
Ok, I like trivia quizzes and I'm a horror fan. So I liked this.
