Before Mom Counts to Three
A weekday in 1997, from 4 p.m. after school to 10 p.m.
Get caught and Mom yells your full name.
Why we made this
Shoes kicked off in the hallway, "just thirty more minutes" on the computer, a TV that was suspiciously warm, beans pushed to the edge of the bowl. And from the doorway: "One... two... two and a half..."
Before Mom Counts to Three lets you relive a day of getting in trouble with Mom, and laugh about it this time. When the day ends, you also see what Mom was doing at the same hours.
How to play
- 1Six scenes · Tidy the entryway (4 p.m.), just 30 minutes of games (5 p.m.), cool the TV (6 p.m.), pick out the beans (7 p.m.), the 40-point test (8 p.m.) and clean up before three (9 p.m.).
- 2Controls · Each scene uses tap, hold or mash. A card tells you before it starts.
- 3Mom's voice · Slip up and you hear "Jamie~" level 1, then "Jamie!" level 2. Get caught and it's FULL NAME!!!
- 4End of the day · Three full-name calls and you're sent to bed early. Then you see "Mom's day" and your result type (8 kinds).
- Every nag you hear goes into your nag collection (30 in all).
- You can continue once after the third full-name call.
- On a computer, the space bar works for tap and hold.
- All scenes and lines are made up from common childhood memories in Korea.
Three full names!
"No TV, no computer. Bed. Now!"
