That was both funny and effectively creepy. Really gets the blood pumping especially at the end :) I'm surprised you were able to pull this off. The humour is great again and I don't think anything like this has ever been done before for a quick jam game. The phone mechanic is great for the escape room concept. Very well done!
Holy 90s action! What an achievement!
Absolutely brilliant! The voice acting, real acting and story were top notch. It's honestly impressive how much you got done in 2 weeks, such an insanely large project for that timeframe. The outtakes were a lovely little bonus as well 
I have to ask with AGS these days is still OGG Vorbis for its video content? I'm amazed the bitrate quality your gameplay vids. Also I have to ask is the FMV superimposed just in the phone? Or is the whole screen a video? Great game so far, and technically very impressed.
The fact you made an FMV game in AGS is admirable. Looking forward to playing it Space Quest Historian :) And it has Grundislav.. .hahaha.. for that alone it is worth it. Now I wait impatiently for it download *twiddles thumbs*
Note: We posted a walkthrough in case you get stuck!

Our composer Achim, better known now as Monochrome Space Pirate, has made an extended remix of the synthwave tunes used in our game. It's pretty kick-ass -- check it out!
Thank you so much to everyone who played and voted for our silly little game! We are very surprised and of course delighted to reach an overall 2nd place! Thank you! - SQH & TorpedoBear
Thanks to Denis Lemire, the Mac version is now a disk image (dmg) instead of a zip file. 'Cos the built-in Mac unzipper hates our guts, apparently. So now you fruit fanatics shouldn't have any problems, fingers crossed!
If you are having trouble running the Mac version, remember to right click the app and right click Open. It's an unsigned app, so Mac's security has a fit about it, but don't worry, it's safe! (sorry for the earlier misinformation!)
