i don't even know how you would describe this genre of game, but it's one of my favorites. it reminded me of Papers, Please - but Saturn Confession is able to emulate all of the aspects that worked well in PP while managing to create an experience that is entirely its own. i love that every action is centered around making choices and exploring a narrative in a creative way - you're doing more than just clicking buttons to make decisions/experience a story. the lore/writing was done really well and kept me interested. i also found the transmitter gameplay to be so fun and satisfying - the analog controls were really unique! this is really one of the standout games of this jam imo.

Cool game. Very interesting and original. The art was great and the overall look was great (especially with the letters). Great job!

Very original! I really enjoyed the ambiguity of the game play and the consequences of your actions. The art is great and the idea of handing out judgement while in complete isolation is truly thought provoking. The use of the theme was really well done. From the perspective of "the flock", they share their inside feelings to you "out", both emotionally and physically. From your perspective, you are trapped inside, while the others are outside of your reach. Excellent submission!

I really enjoyed your game! I like the theme and the gameplay, and the mood was really nice, retro "low tech" futurism.  I like how rigid the telescope machine is to use, feels right for the global mood. The different confessions were interesting and touching, I could see the game be extended, it has potential!

Very interesting game, I loved the narration and the world building, I took a few minutes to get the hang of it but it wasn't a problem. That feel of 1970s space era is very palpable, I won't talk about the plot because I don't want to spoil it. I loved the "papers please" type of gameplay and situation where you have to face a moral dilemma. I don't know how I feel about the limitation on "forgiveness", it's not a bad mechanic and it has a role, but I don't know maybe I would have liked more freedom to expand the story, but still I'm not sure about it. Anyway, really enjoyed the atmosphere and the idea. Nicely done!

This game should have a manual - and I am highly intuitive, so I was able to find out how to play it. But in my first attemt I approved the informational letter (work habit;)) and the rubber stamp dissapeared (bug?) so I have to restart the game. I liked very much that the approving had cosequences. After approval the acceptation of defeat, I was waiting when the partisans will arrest me (oh, author, add such a surprise in the game! ). But I was missing anything like a score, even the dreams did not told me if I done a good job. 

Fun 4 / 5, Art + Graphic 5 / 5 and let me say that the artworks was really realistic!:), Audio 3 (I liked the modem dial up sounds - yup I am that old) but the music from radio was just a short, simple instrumental song, replaying itself in a lazy loop. What about to compose some space shanties and randomzed their playing order?!:) Like this one: Song "Inner animals and outer space" by Ormrin Sinkalte Ged - Sparrowhawk (itch.io) - made by my life Partner. But Originaliy and Theme both 5 / 5 :).

Feel fry to try, rate and comment the game which I uploaded - made by my life Partner.

This is just an amazing game. I have to start by saying that I didn't understand what to do AT ALL. I personally think a sort off first time intro could have really helped sell it a bit more as I just got confused. But I eventually understood how to lock on send or receive. But to me it first just seemed like I had to press random buttons. The music is what sold it along with the graphics. It makes me feel so at ease and immersed me fully. Great game, shamed and denied sinners as they weren't worthy (duh) and got to watch some falling stars my night can't be ruined!

I genuinely really enjoyed this game. I was a bit confused about how to play it at first, but I got the hang of it soon enough. I love the concept of this project. It's super unique, and the little bits of lore that are handed out in the mail segments are really cool. They make the game feel so alive and fleshed out like everything being sent your way is written by actual people with lives, friends, families, and responsibilities. The computer mechanic is really cool. The way you have to move the cursor kinda reminds me of Iron Lung weirdly enough, and the pixelated visuals of the planets on-screen are great. The tickets were kinda clunky and hard to put into the computer at points, but I wouldn't consider this a major, game-breaking flaw or anything like that. The environments do their job well, and the classical, fingerpicked guitar music playing over the radio is nice, though perhaps I am biased, as I am a guitarist, haha. Overall, I'm very impressed. I'd love to see more like this! 9/10. ^^

The music fit so nicely in this game. The concept was was wild to me at first but once I got into the groove of send and receiving the mail, I couldn't wait to see what the responses were. Nice work!

This is insanely well-made, the ambience is very immersive and it is very original. Would have loved a little bit of guidance to begin with, understanding what to do is not very immediate.
