Did you interact with the other characters in the game?
There are other characters?* Didn't find or see them. I hought I visited every room. I even tried getting in the cars, as well as viisiting the garage and twice using the "ominous big button" which, of course, is the switch for the garage door opener;closer.

I will do that. Also nobody play it yet because there is a game-breaking bug which will spoil the experience.
Oh come on! Being able to bitch, moan, kvetch and complain about a Beta-class game is part of the fun! Especially when you hit a game-breaking bug so bad you get to tell the developer, "You dun fucked up!"
Goddam developers, they always wanna spoil the fun for beta testers.

The max is five. That was a bug which has been fixed.
Developer: I've fixed all the bugs in Connection Summit. Play Tester: It just crashed, is it supposed to do that? Developer: Oh, sorry, that was a bug. Okay! Now all the bugs are fixed. Play Tester (downloads, installs and runs new release): Am I supposed to be able to do this? Developer: Oops, that was a bug. The bugs are all fixed, and there aren't any more left.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
