Player Comments on Exploding Alarm Clock - Return that item!

The premise of this game is, well, a little odd, but sometimes that can make a game interesting and fun! It was interesting, too, when I tried to return the clock and it continued to explode. I can absolutely see the customer service folks acting exactly like the one in the story. Are you sure this isn’t a real-life experience, or at least based on a true story?

There are some good options in the story, and that’s a great feature for a CYOA story. In this case some of the options link back to sort of push you in one direction, but this story does it in a way that really makes sense and actually works well to enhance the story instead of taking away from the story. It feels like the reader is really in control of the story and able to actually affect the outcome of the story, and that’s exactly how a CYOA should feel.

I tried it a few times and got some different endings, which is also neat. It was slightly random, but it was random in a really entertaining way! Other authors could learn from this story: even though it is pretty short, it still has a fun story (if a bit silly), good writing, and different paths to different endings. Thank you for sharing this story with the site!

Ha-ha! That was pretty fun! I liked the overall concept of the story, which is to return a faulty alarm clock and get your money back. It might sound pretty generic or not even that fun, but trust me, it isn't easy to return a bad clock.

The story itself is very humorous, and at times made me laugh. Very good sense of humor.

The only thing I would have to say is that how could you bring the alarm clock if it explodes? In the story, your clock explodes... so you somehow bring it to the store? And then demonstrate it exploding again? How could you demonstrate if its already in pieces? This part I didn't understand.

But this was still very, very fun. I applaud you, for a very good story!

6/8.

loveit

Humorous and fun. Enjoyed the lighthearted story where even with a bad ending, the world does not end and nobody dies. Enjoyed it.

I found my vocation at this site ?(´?`*)?

Hilarious. I loved it, and its prequel.

I did this while I was in my College history class and I actually chuckled out loud. I don’t think the teacher appreciated it but I did... 10/10

This was a ride. But I enjoyed it. 5/8

Amazing and fun

This was very good!
I like the overall plot.
Good Job!

Good for a short story. I can’t rate it higher because of its length but it is a great length for the subject.

It's a great and hilarious story!

6/8

Shouting Match With Customer Service Lady: The Game.

Seriously, wtf man.

Funniest game on this site, according to me.

Got the best ending and it was very entertaining! Loved the silly humour :D

I don't want to be harsh, but this is extremely bad. And why was everyone always screaming or yelling? 2/8

I got my money back after screaming
YAY!!!

It's very funny

Wow i spammed it to see all the choices, and... You were the one who made the walmart game??? I LOVED it!!!

Short but this definitely got several laughs and giggles from me. :)

I loved the funny storyline and quick ending. This is the first CYS I've seen that is funny and not stupid and the same time! 6/8

It was actually pretty fun for something really short

Nice, quick little story with a compact storyline. I like this game, but what is the significance of "airtight"? That's my one issue. Thanks for this!

Lol

TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! Bad game. Avoid at all costs. No rhyme or reason behind anything that goes on in the story.

Awesome!

Good good good good good good good good (keep saying good for 10 years 32 minutes and 7 seconds)

It was REALLY funny, and I loved it! XD Very interesting and fun, even though it was short. I mean, storygames like these kind of have to be short, don't they? Otherwise the readers get bored. So yeah, it was great. :)

I got best ending! This honestly entertained me a bit. A thing you did really good was give logical options and make the descisions really feel like they made a difference. There were a couple broken links I found which lead to a page that had nothing to do with the one I was on. But putting that aside I really think the length of the game was just right and a good amount of text on each page. Not too short, and not too long which is sometimes a turnoff for me because I want to get to the descisions. So yeah, it entertained me for a bit and kept me i gaged for most part, so a 5/8 for me.

It made me laugh, that's 5/8 worthy.

One of the better ones ive seen :D
gj!

That was funny!

Pretty good. The writing was fine and this was very funny. I liked it. =)

Hilariously entertaining. I got the best ending. xD

Yay best ending

Hilariously brilliant. Good job sir.

I just read this to my kids and we all laughed so hard. This was awesome -- good clean fun! =)

Meh

it was a fun little game

It was very interesting and fun to read.

Loved it, totally practical!

Beautiful. One of the best games I've ever played.

Ok that was fun. A jovial story and lighthearted. And I couldn't help but laugh even though a lot of it makes little sense.

ASOUME GAME I GOT ME MONEY BACK!!!

It was a funny game to play.

lol

It wasn't good, but it was still fun. Enjoyed the ending.

You did a good job on this

woow thats part of the best ending remeber me from phoenix wright

You know, this got me to wondering: Is this based on a true story? It does seem semi-probable.

Haha this was awesome

nice

LOL I can actually see a scene like this happening. Nice job.

Been there, done that.

This is my favorite game so far. It's awesome because it is HILARIOUS! w00t!

The melodramatic crazy lady made me feel exactly like I was playing Ace Attorney. I was waiting for the guy to yell out "OBJECTION!" :p

Damn, I got the bad ending. I'll retry

Nice ! ! !

Hmmmm...good job!

BWAHAHAHAHHAH FEAR MY WRATH CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

Great game

Good

That was a tasteful explanation of how much we all want to rip out customer services' lungs. Reapeatedly. I especeally liked the part where she insanley screams and passes out...
HehHeh...Jerks. Thanks for making that and Please make another, preferably with lots and lots of insane screaming and unbeleavable lying. Thanks,
A Guy Names Stan(ovich)

yay, best ending :)

I got all endings :3 I especially liked my dry lips *dries lips*

very funny

Cute. The sad thing is, I think I KNOW that customer service lady.

I loved it, except for the fact that it was a copy of a ZapDramatic drama. Other than that, okay.

best ending, vey good game. but very short

It was such a funny game! However, I got a bad ending. Even so, it was great. Just hope I never meet a customer service lady like that.

Entertaining story! I like the multiple endings. Only problem was that the lady was a BITCH. lol, Nice job.

Yay, best ending. I liked arguing with this woman and I didn't mind the constant screaming, especially when she pounded her fists on a table with charred alarm clock parts. Good job.

Yay, I got the best ending!!

Hilarious, but like Conneth said,there was too much yelling.

neutral ending. woo!

This is hilarious! Play it! The only part I didn't like was the screaming.

That was well written. I agree with Leon, it's a lot like the newgrounds game where you convince the customer service woman to take a refund-- but with a great surprise at the ending!

Wow, nice!

HAHA! Mystery solved.
6/8

There, now I beat it with the best ending. What an insane b****, lol.

Hey, this is pretty good. Even though I got the bad ending, heh heh. You know what this reminds me of, those games on newgrounds where you have to like not get a ticket from a cop and such, by choosing the correct statements.

Awesome

THAT WAS AWESOME
STARTED LAME BUT WAS SOO COOL!
I totally got her to admit it!
Thanks so much bigfish!

The best newest storygame to date!

Quite entertaining with a decent amount of choices. Good job!

Yay! Ace Attorney Reference! :p Really good, and really fun.

Funny, in a wierd sort of way. I got the best ending.

Ha ha! Why would she do that?

That was fun!

It took me 2 goes to get the good ending, and it was a fun little time killer.

Make more of these!
6/8

i got the bad ending. it was worth reading.
