PLOT:

This is a game about a little guy who lived under a rock, now that he goes out into the world, he finds himself outside the social circle of the town. (The "loop".) He must now deliver random items to people to gain their friendship.

HOW TO PLAY:

Arrow keys to move, 

Space key to talk to NPCs. Press space again once you see the title screen, we neglected to add text there that instructed you how to move to the next screen.

Move your mouse to move the little hand, click and hold the mouse to grab an item. (this sometimes gets stuck, and the hand won't drop it, but it works 75% of the time)

Known bugs:

- Mouse will occasionally not drop the object. This shouldn't be a problem, you don't have to drop the object to complete the quest.

- Sometimes an object will not be picked up when you click and drag it. We just found this bug, and have no idea why it happens. We can't find a fix. The best we can do is tell you to restart the game. Very sorry. EDIT: It seems to have a connection to what order you pick up the items in. I recommend the bill, energy drink, usb, book, chinese food.

- The music doesn't loop. Not too much of a problem for playing the game, but it will definitely take our score down.

- Not really a bug, but some objects don't have the necessary collision or separate layers. This is just something we didn't catch before submission. (You can walk over some trees and through some lampposts.)

- Every now and then, an NPC won't take their respective object. Just wave it around them a little and drop it and pick it up again, that usually seems to work.

- Dialogue boxes work inconsistently. Sometimes it shows when it isn't supposed to or won't change.

CREDITS:

This was our first game as a team, and we are fairly proud of the result.

The Chaotic Alignments team consists of:

Jensen: programming and pep talks,

Beacon: script writing,

Ender: font and title card design,

Gibson: character design,

Huck: music, stage design, tilemap creation, proofreading. (I am proofreading these credits right now. Hi there! Sorry, I went back to my state before we started putting the text in the game. I was in the car for the most part, so collaborating wasn't an option, and I wasn't able to proofread the text in the game. Every capital letter you see here is my doing.)

(Behind the scenes:)

We accidentally deleted the whole game on the third day, thus, some mechanics and characters feel underutilized, since we had to essentially re-make the whole game from scratch, but downsize it considerably. And the mayor's text doesn't fit in the box right, and we don't know how to fix it. We hope you still enjoy it!
