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

Developer

Thank you so much for the high praise. I understand the game might be riding the edge of the understanding of the "adventure" genre but I am happy you enjoyed it. It ended up way easier than I initially planned but I'm happy with the mood and emotions it conveys.

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!

Thank you for the feedback on the fonts, very helpful! And it's been noted a few times now. I'll see if I can find another way to handle it.

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. 

Developer

thank you, glad you enjoyed it! This was actually the pitch to my team: imagine The Life Of The Others meets Papers, Please ...

Very interesting game, pixel painting style is characteristic, excellent plot and dubbing greatly enhance the experience of the game, very enjoy the process of playing:)

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.

Yes, I think fun as a concept for videogames is overrated! :)
I try to make meaningful experiences, if they end up fun or not is secondary. If it made you think it did everything I wanted it to do!

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.

Thank you for your kind words, it ended up being less challenging than I had originally hoped but that's game-jamming for you, I guess! I'm happy that you enjoyed it all the same!
