very unique entry - a great combination of ideas, gameplay mechanics and wonderful graphics. is the thematical idea, that the player only sees people as two-dimesional pieces of paper and with only 2 personalty dimensions? subtle but cool.
unfortunately I was fired on my third day, eventhough I felt I did good enough observations... Especially animals coming back the next day asking for another job (that they are not really suitable for) was a bit confusing.
The slowly revealing lore of the world was great though. and the desk gameplay mechanics. and the handdrawn graphics. well I'm repeating myself...

Super cool game! I loved the concept and the persometer mechanic was fun to use! The story was also good and the art was great! Good job! :D
Really impressed by the narrative you've been able to build! I love a good puzzle, getting 4 out of 5 ain't bad! Sadly no matter the jobs I gave out, I lost my own, like tears in the rain :)
Nice concept! If you're interested in playing our game, here's the link: https://astral-creation-studio.itch.io/your-princess-is-in-another-dimension
Cool idea! I like the papers please eque like games with determining the right things, combined with moral choices.
The flavor with the enemies and story questions is great.
Very nice that you got the documents looking like this. They are very readable and the setting feels like you're at a desk.
The controls are working great.
As feedback which is pretty nitpicky. I first thought the red line I got was more orangy - so I tried to guess again. But, saw that my initial guess was spot on, since now I got a much lighter orange. Maybe it's an idea to add the colors to the instruction.
But then again, after trying once you now know how it looks like.
Well done on creating and finishing a game!
Cool idea, very papers please esque, but definitely more interesting, might be the animal component hehe. really nice game!
Really enjoyed the art and reading through the animals answers, reminded me of papers please only this looks incredible!
I really liked the concept for the game. The art and music are really nice and go well together. The art also fits the game's story really well. I liked that there were several different questions in the personality test and not just the same questions every time. The screen was too big though and I couldn’t see the entire scene. The personality needle also stopped working at some point. Do I have a limited amount of guesses?
I was fired! I thought 3 out of 5 would be fine for government work...
I liked the world building in this one. Papers Please vibes, guess I'm not the only one who noticed! Good job.
I couldn't quite intuit the Persometer (should that have been animameter? 😅) . I also feel like perhaps the camera shouldn't have been able to pan; instead, I think the camera should have been stationary and right clicking a paper should have it fill the screen to better observe it. I love the use of animals as it relates to the theme.
nicely done! Really good writing, made me chuckle more than once :)
Very nice and very pretty. I had fun, even though it has thrown my future plans to become a careers advisor for animals in disarray :)
Really, REALLY strong and clever concept!! Made with a lot of humor (LOLed a couple times for real) and entertaining. If I could tweak one thing, it'd be the zoom and drag mechanism. But man, really impressed - fun and funny.
I'd love to see what y'all thought of my submission, if you wanted to.
