The graphics, music, sfx, and voice acting were great! I also loved the little pitter-patter of the player's feet as they walk!!! The only critique I have is that if the player walks and then interacts with a piece of scrap, the walking sound effect would continue to play. Other than that small bug, beautiful game!

I loved the look and feel. The palette, the music. Great voice acting too.

Where Wolf?Lovely atmosphere. The palette is beautiful and generally the presentation felt very well-executed, with elements like the text becoming garbled as it approaches the top of the screen. And the story is very poignant. I think the only thing that disappointed me was the length. Hopefully something for after the jam!

The Untitled KnightLove the look and feel. This aesthetic and premise could carry you far, even in a longer experience or series of vignettes. I would genuinely feel excited to explore a larger desert, find and talk to more survivors, and read more of the evocative flavor text on the scrap. I wish there was more!
Other than the jam-appropriate length, my only real issue is that the choice of font made the text a little hard to read. Super cool stuff!

DOS GalaxyVery nice atmosphere and very satisfying walking controls/sounds/animation. Annoying having to sit through all that dialogue so early on. And obviously the game ended early because I guess you ran out of time

The Mysterious Gear ChestAh, the theme makes me so anxious, but it's so true. Congrats, it's very well done!

Shadow of The MorriganWow this was amazing! I loved how the dialog and choices were on a different screen that was stylized perfectly. That voice acting, story, and music were all fantastic. For me, for some reason the music was skipping pretty bad, but it didn't pull me out of it.

Elsewhere ExpressI so far have rated this game the highest because of its impressive quality. I love the 8-bit art (but that is just my opinion). note: the objects that are scrap are layer improperly. but other than that very great.
