Welcome to the Sorry I Fell Asleep Club how Sorry I Fell Asleep are ya?

I feel like the dad killed the mom and sister, then the son killed the father. That's why he says 'rest in hell father.' And in another ending he apologizes to his mom and sister before dying. In the scissor ending, he killed everyone and it says he did it. It could be an expression of his guilt from murdering someone just like his dad did.

As a city bus driver, I can confirm this game is, in fact, a lot less terrifying than our actual passengers.

Personally, I think of it as the father killing the mother and sister, and the son (player) killed the father for what he did, thus the love shown toward the mom and sister and the hate for the dad. I think the son feels like he became a murderer just like his dad, shown in the guilt and violent visions, and why he also turned himself in.

In Spanish you can call a young man "joven" which means "young." It's a Noun and Adjective.

[JinxeBlaq]

Them calling him “young” is basically like them trying to call him kid, like, “What is it kid?” They probably translated a term with a similar meaning directly, instead of finding the English version of it.

3:00 "I do actually have a thing for Starbu- Starbeh- StarbiiIIicks?!" Lmao the way Manly said that was pretty funny 😅

A man with a pet duck. Sounds familiar.

The dad is the last surviving member of the family and the one who most likely went missing. The player is the murderer who wasnt caught. You can tell by the way he kills everyone on the bus

Wow the dialogue from the lighter guy is actually really good. Nice variety of endings too.

[tadaokou]

The duck might seem unfitting for this game, but it was most likely put in here to lighten things up a bit
If not for the duck, this game would be nothing but misery
So let's praise the duck: The true hero of this story!

No one else gonna remark about the dude saying he was on that bus for half a day, and then giving you a coffee he bought **before** getting on the bus? 12 hour lukewarm coffee...mmmm

1:26 it’s kinda rude for that man to use being motion sick as an attempt to duck a conversation

I really enjoyed this game. Surprisingly teared up during Lighter Man's speech. Even if the translation could be polished a bit, this dev obviously has a grasp on what makes for interesting stories. If this is one of their first games, I hope they continue creating more.

Now, when it comes to public transportation, I always pay attention to my surroundings and the fellow passengers. You never know who might be a wolf in sheep's clothing

[lymb]

What do you mean "Things get weird?" That's a perfectly normal experience on public transportation here in the US.

I enjoyed the little oddness of the writing. Maybe calling the protag "young" was a way of saying young one - young adult or even early teen - which would explain why people seemed to not be angered or afraid of the protag.
Otherwise this game reminded me of a quote from an old novel: "It is curious to look back and realize upon what trivial and apparently coincidental circumstances great events frequently turn as easily and naturally as a door on its hinges". And that quote explains the dancing duck, the ginger cookies, the flower, the rope, and all the rest.
I really enjoyed this. It was different.

I thought the dad the player talked to wasnt THEIR dad but just a stranger. The other passengers mention having a mom and a sister/daughter to emphasize the player's guilt over killing their own mother and sister, and the newspaper story was about them. Thats how i interpreted tho, im still confused about the player's father

[kushluk]

The developer almost certainly speaks Spanish, "Joven" (young person) is a normal way to refer to random people.

[BeetleBuns]

I think whoever made this has a lot of potential, this was a cool game, with an interesting story to piece together. I like how it's not just spelled out for you, but you're given the resources and left alone
