I love the way this game flows as you interact, keeps you really engaged, and unfolds really nicely. Fantastic presentation all round. Great work :D

Creating scenes by clicking phrases in a file is an innovative idea that brought the story to life. The graphics were pleasant and the voice acting was top-notch. If I had to find some feedback, I think the font and color used in the dialogue were so different from rest of the game that they felt a bit out of place. Overall a fantastic entry for the jam!

There's so much polish in this game, and it plays so well congrats! The setting reminds me of the movie "The lives of others" in a good way. 

Very unusual premise. I wouldn't say it's fun, but I don't think that's what you were going for. It really made me think about the kind of betrayal people must have felt.

Very nice concept with a unique gameplay mechanic. There wasn’t much challenge in figuring things out, but the overall atmosphere, story, and excellent voice acting made up for that.

A very interesting setting and form of presentation. Letting the reports come to life is a great idea and works very well to transport the story.

That was really well done!  

Very cool concept. It was fun deducing the culprit in each scenario. The way the notes unfolded the visual scenes was neat. Great voice acting & music as well, very appropriate for the vibes. The oppression of the country was felt quite strongly through subtle beats in the story, like the power of blue jeans. I liked how in the ending we were unable to change our suspect after the reveal, instead just blistered with the rough sound effect, powerful simple narrative design!

It felt like there were a few too many fonts in general. The font of the notes in the folder I found a little hard to read even at full screen. I supposed that's slightly appropriate for the files but overall it did just feel like there were one too many fonts present. Other than that, I have very little to critique. Great work! The clickable links in the credits was a nice touch :)

I enjoyed it a lot! Voice acting is sublime and music takes you there, works so great. This is in my top 5 for this jam, definitely

The retro art style and music are good and very effective in giving the game its fitting gloomy atmosphere. Great concept, I think you should really consider the idea of expanding it into something bigger!

Designing an adventure around Stasi files is an unusual concept. An interesting topic, albeit a heartbreaking one for the victims of the state. The amount of Erika and Max Mustermann spied on by people close to them is simply staggering.

You've done a really good job with this difficult subject. The idea of bringing the past back to life directly from the IM reports is excellent. The pixel graphics are also really good. As is the music and the voice acting.

The direction in which it was heading was quite foreseeable. But that's not really a problem for a short visual novel kind of game. I would really love to play something longer (and more difficult) in this style. Great game!

I really enjoyed this! I liked how you used the art and visuals to add to the storyline, I liked the voice acting alot and it's really fun to play. Great work!

Very emotionally relevant interactive tale. Graphically and musically perfect, interesting story, beautiful voice acting. Touching.

really brilliant game,
i like the iron curtain themes of ex-sovietic union.
The way in wich you identify the spies and narrative behind is great!
Is my favourite game of the jam for now

This is an extremely cohesive game concept from top to bottom. I love how well the visuals serve the storyline and vice versa. Voice acting was also excellent. Considering the tactile feel, I'd love to see even more usage of photos and other aspects of surveillance documents. Maybe for example, if the images of the scenes you watch looked like surveillance photo/video? Or the images you can choose to identify the informants would be little thumbnail-sized images like you'd find in a file photo. Very evocative visual concept as it is though, and thank you for making it! It was very powerful storytelling, and a really novel way to use the adventure game medium. 

I actually recorded my playthrough. If you want to see my impressions as I played, you can see it below (timestamp for your game in the description). Hope that can be useful!
