Hey there, Dark Claymore! Thanks for playing, and especially for the little bits of critique. I definitely agree about the quick menu. Probably should just take it out; I mean, there's a basic explanation of the controls and how to save in the beginning anyway.
For the icons, some of them are pretty simple: IceBro's is actually supposed to be a close up pic of somebody's finger(since we figured IceBro would do that), but it turned out looking a little weird, didn't it? Eevee's is just orange because that's kinda close to an Eevee's basic color. VomitPunch's icon is just a box because my sister made a mistake and didn't send his real icon to me, but I didn't have time to get it from her because (1) she was asleep and (2) there were about 2 hours until the contest would close. So, I just used his placeholder. MagicalPillow's icon is a pic of a pillow, but again, it turned out a bit weird.
Yeah, the game has a pretty big lack of music. I don't really want to hunt for tracks, though, and I kind of like the silence the way it is.
Ending 5 is quite short, I know. I actually got a comment about that about 2 months ago from a friend saying the same thing. I'll try to extend it a bit.
We're probably only going to change the quick menu and the ending because that won't take too long, and we want to move on from this project for now. We'll at least give VomitPunch his rightful icon, though. Note that we won't be able to make these changes until early February or later this month(January) since I'm busy doing something for the New Beginnings Game Jam right now.
Yes, the protag is a monster. There are a couple hints; right in the beginning, the images(if you didn't click through them-another thing I should fix: make that fade faster) show his face in the webcam. It's also directly stated in the game if you make certain choices with a certain person...hmhmhm.
About the JackSkelly ending, I think what happens is kinda based on your own interpretation. When I wrote it, I thought that Mr.M decided to cut off contact with humans and never go back to the chat site again. When my sis read it, the first thing she asked was "Did Mr.Monster kill himself?" in a strained voice. Depending on your interpretation, one, both, or neither of us can be right.
I'm sorry, but what do you mean by "punchline", exactly?(spoiler-tag your answer if you have to)
Glad you liked the menus, too! They were fun(but time-consuming) to make!
