Memory Exchange Program by Novirtue

The story of a not so distant future where people can exchange lives with other people, don't be discouraged by my terrible English, play the whole thing, it's worth it!

Hope you all enjoy it!

The entire game was drawn in Microsoft paint, I meant it to be that way, I apologize for the crude drawings, and the terrible writing, English is not my first language.

Please contact me if you find any bugs, I spent 2 months making the game, 4 months debugging it (I've been really busy with my regular job) , but I still find the occasional bug, so if you do, please let me know!

1.1 update: I've got about 40-50 messages of people stuck on the memory exchange office, so I went ahead and added it to the game.

ps. Thank you for the nice review! There was sound at the interesting point of the game though :) you probably missed it.

Thank you all for playing, didn't expect these many people playing my first game!

1st bug spotted: Images weren't loading for some reason
- fixed
2nd bug spotted: When looking at the device on the first storage room would give an error that shouldn't be there - fixed
3rd set of bugs: few use issues, and the tube light bug - fixed

Creepy ending. Playing on my laptop whilst reading that it was sent by aliens to enslave me. It's right; we wouldn't fight. I have deducted a star because it wasn't clear what I should do with the message. I figured it out eventually, but would have been nice to have a little hint in the text.

How do I decode the message? I assume that's what I'm supposed to do, there isn't anything else

This is the first game that isn't a CYOA that I spent more than half an hour on! Normally I never know what to do and I give up because I can't get the syntax right on anything.

Your game had a very logical sequence and it was a lot of fun! Great writing, concept, and pictures. Those are easily the best MS Paint pictures I have ever seen. Again, fantastic job!

I did get stuck eventually though (I'm a complete amateur :P). See my comment on where.

I got stuck right after the meeting. I went to every floor and tried things, but I wasn't sure where to go!

Decided to check out this game because i was bored...
Was not disappointed. I liked the story and the simplicity of the game.
Had a few troubles with what to type at certain times, like when i had to type in cliche with the thing above the e.

All in all. nice simplistic game. 4/5.

Nice game. Finding the piece to decode and going to the library again was really hard to figure out.
End shocked me, scared me a bit. The last scenes after you meet the people at the end could have been extended and not put into one paragraph, but nice job :)

@starrysparkly you want to type "use holo puter with device" when in doubt, use the word "use" I didn't make many alternate ways to interact between things, I might make my next one better :)

This game is really interesting, but I can't figure out how to use the device in the white room :(

@ ariminty after you look at the tube, read what the whole text says, it will tell you what to do.

@ Sobsz open engine first, use water with engine, close engine, then turn on car.

@Stewie_Griffin If you're stuck as soon as the game started, turn on the lights.

@Bradley Beeke after you asked her about the appointment she sends you a message to your holo puter, just follow what it says.

ghostgirl117 you need to look at the car first to see the engine, then you need to open the engine, load it with water, close the engine and turn the car on.

I finished the game with one hint from the author.

I enjoyed the game very much and I hope to be fair in my review.

First, let's talk about the positive:

- A very interesting science fiction plot that reminds me a very good movie that I won't mention because of the spoiler. All I can say is that makes us wonder about our identity and what is reality. This a very known philosophical topic used in books and movies from authors like Philip K. Dick.
- The images are really good and make the story even more compelling. Very good use of the media. Sound would be nice too to complete the environment.
- Very well implemented. The author took care of all of the details. The story helps to support those elements not implemented and help us to understand the limitations of the world.
- Good puzzles. Along with the lovely landscape make me keep playing from begining to end.

Now, the improvement areas.

- The images are good but I feel they are too big for the screen. Maybe a little less, after all they are there to support the story, not to be the main attraction.
- There is a mix of hyperlinks and typing that it's not very well received outer by a wider public. It should be an option to play the entire game with hyperlinks or without it because the player has its preferences and he doen't like to change from one mode to another in the middle of the game.
- Personally I don't like the implementation of the verb "use" or "use with". I feel more elegant when there is a verb for each action.
- As someone said once, the right panel make feel the "things" double. At least the "Places and objects" should dissappeared. The other ones are ok.
- I get lost with some commands because I was typing with CAPS on. But this is maybe a Quest thing.
- I recommend to improve the directions because sometimes I got lost. For example saying "Go north to the house", etc.
- There are some answers not implemented like the button on the elevat
