You are playing in a game jam inception. You play as discord user "AskBryce". You are working with your partner to finish a game jam submission in time. You've slept in and you have no time to spare. Nothing can go wrong.
Super Spoilers (if you get stuck and need help)
There are 4 tasks to complete: Coding, Art, Audio, and Submitting the game. In between the coding task make sure to walk to the tv to acknowledge it turning on. In between the coding and the art task make sure to go pee. During the art task make sure to attend to the home alarm before completing the task. In between the art task and the audio task, make sure to lock the front door. During the audio task, lock the bedroom door. After the audio task, climb out the window and go to the back of the house. Flip the breaker box. Run back inside to build your game and submit it to the jam.

Thank you so much for playing! I notice you did not get to the end. Hopefully you give it another try, if nothing thank you!
Google Translation to Portuguese: Muito obrigado por jogar! Percebi que você não chegou ao fim. Espero que você tente novamente, se nada, obrigado!
I am not a fan of horror games but this was a great exception. (My roommates are mad at me for screaming, haha)
Well I appreciate you giving it a try! Tell your roommates to play it and maybe they'll understand.
Glad we were able to break the norm for you! Thanks for playing!
I hate horror games. I screamed and got spooped a bunch. Good horror game, fantastic entry. 11/10 would torture myself again. (ps. I love meta games that reference the jam).
reminded me of fears to fathom (in a good way) but with abit more humor, i loved the atmosphere and amazing sound design. would love to see more episodes!
WHY DID YOU SUBJECT ME TO THIS LOL!
The other dev and I watched your teams play through. Ya'll look like a wonderful bunch. Thank you all for the kind words haha. It was great, I really appreciate ya'lls thorough exploration of the game and not just moving on after the first death.
nice
Thank you for playing! Ensure to read the dialogue across the bottom, it helps guide you through the game.
While waiting for the computer to boot, you should go check the fridge for some DEV Fuel.
Thanks for playing! Glad you got to experience the video game inception easter egg. There's more plot to it if you use the toilet after completing the coding task! Thanks for playing though!
Died three times. Knew exactly what to expect on run #3... still jumped. Excellent concept considering this is a GameJam submission.
Only one QoL feature needed: I'd like to aim when peeing, please.
Ah yes, a fellow man of culture. I took would like to aim while peeing.
