Spreadward is the host of the hit children's TV show - "It's Spreading!". 

He lives in a town with all the other hosts, mascots and mischief-causers that make childhood fun! 

The show's confetti showers and cheers are produced by microscopic, lightly carnivorous, Spreadheads that Spreadward is coated in before each episode. 

Once filming wraps, Spreadward is given a healthy dose of radiation to help him shake off the last of any Spreadheads that haven't thoroughly exhausted themselves.

This is the story of when Spreadward took his work home with him.

Can you find everything that spreads in time to save Spreadward from his fate? Run through a day in the life of our protagonist, interacting with the world around him to create as many opportunities to spread as possible!



Notes/Tips

  • The browser experience should work fine, but some folks had issues with Firefox so try Chrome or downloading the game!
  • If you pull the cord on the menu too hard the curtains might break, be gentle (and we'll fix this later XD)
  • Resting in the bed will speed time up!
  • Dialogue will pause the clock, so no need to rush through! Enjoy the interactions!
  • No Spreadwards were harmed in the making of this purely fictitious experience

I really had a good time with this, I love the backstory, making this insane list of tasks make sense. I figured out everything but the religious thing, I got the pamphlet but didn't know how to use it. I didn't see any technical issues, everything works great! Good work!

So glad you enjoyed it, it means a lot to us that you persevered to try and find everything! The religion one has definitely proven to be the trickiest, we had plans to allow you to spread it in a number of ways to make it simpler but ran out of time! Maybe try ordering something after you've got the pamphlet.... ^^

thanks for the response, im thinking if you wanted to scale this up, have a repeating day like a time loop, add way more steps in getting each thing, and have a notebook that carries over resets with notes of what to do and when
