Cool game!, i like the art and the concept

Relatable content as someone in the video game industry lmao. 

Your game has a ton of personality. It took me a little bit to understand what I was doing, but I was invested in figuring it out and when I did I had a really good time. The voice acting, music and art all together is really fantastic. Y'all did an awesome job.

Seems tutorials are often a weak point for us — something to pay attention to in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

Great visuals and stealth gameplay. The puzzles and the levels were enjoying to play.

I loved the snarky take on corporate dev life and how my team had a mind of its own, even if that sometimes made clicking them a bit of a challenge! The art, music, and voice acting were all on point, adding a ton of personality. Very awesome, that you managed almost all assets by your team. Visuals and sound design is very well made.

Fantastic

The music is great, and the art component is also excellent. But there is not enough ability to adjust the volume, as well as such frequent occurrence of dialogues distracted from the gameplay.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Awessome! the mechanic of characters just walking by themselves was neat, I just found hard to click on them sometimes. Cool narrative also.

Amazing , it is well polished nice feeling game with a remarking story.

Incredible game! The idea of having to deal with someone of the team just deciding to walk into other places sometimes is genius, this adds a nice level of difficulty for the gameplay. The audio design, voice acting and art style is spot on, they all blend really well together. Great job.

Absolutely incredible work all around. The art and audio are top class and the gameplay is very entertaining! Fantastic job :)

This game blew my mind! Incredible work. Here are my notes. If every player gets captured, the level doesn't restart. Also, the audio is SUPER stuttering, I couldn't understand a word the characters were saying. But fun to play for sure!

Developer

Had quite the bug list to work through, haha. Thank you for the feedback and praise!

This was a nice little stealth game. The music and art was very charming and had a lot of personality! The voice talent seemed to have some fun with this too. I did find that the random movement was more of a slight annoyance than core element of the gameplay, and I would have liked to see the concept of "your characters don't exactly listen to you/have their own objectives" expanded on a bit more in terms of both gameplay and story, but I see y'all were going for a tradition stealth feel rather than Lemmings. Good effort to you all!

Developer

We were definitely unsure of where to land between hectic chaos and traditional stealth. Thank you for the feedback and kind words!
