yooo this game is actually so cool :D Art, music, story, theme, and different gameplay sections,, nice work guys! The intrigue/mystery vibe reminded me of a game called Earthworms, I'd definitely like to see a long form version of this game :)

I'm also curious how you guys did the save slots and windowed settings. Makes it feel like a real game.

Also superbug's theme goes so hard >:D

Thank you! The game was made using the Ren'py engine, which provides settings and save slots in the default settings of a project.  We could've just deleted the code for them if we wanted, but there's never really any reason to.

The art is so interesting!

Nice art style and drawings. Liked that it had some interactive elements even though it was a visual novel. Sound design of the character voices was neat. The rpg interaction was nice, would've liked more of it so that you can have some of it earlier in the story. Nice stuff 👌

My RPG instincts chose attack before I even knew what was going on
