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!

Mild Realistic Violence

Based on what very little research we have done and feedback we've gotten, we are starting to realize that our dumb puzzles aren't just dumb, but also, in fact, difficult. So here's a walkthrough for our game. [SPOILERS!!!]
Also, there is a Mac build for the game now, thanks to the magic of Dennis Plöger! It's an unsigned application so you have to go into your Mac's security settings and tell it to run anyway (we promise it's safe!).
Whoops! Turns out there was a game-breaking bug in the release version that removed an essential dialogue option if you didn't do things in the right order. Version 1.0.3 has fixed that! Thanks to Jon Paul Sapsford for spotting it. (Sorry!)
