How does your game fit the theme?
I reimagined the classic card game/automata "War", because it is a game that completely exists outside of the players control. "Out of Control" could be seen as a temporary loss of control, but what about situations where you never had any to begin with?

The battle cutscene is too long. When does the game start?

That's a nice take on the theme, but the interactivity is too low and the game too complex to be really fun ^^'

Kind of out of "time" intead "control". :P Not much to do except watch the game playing endless and alone...

first i was really intimidated by the huge number of cards and then i realized i don't have to do anything :)

The pictures on the cards look very pretty, everything is very stylized and feels polished. The little texts that come up after every draw, the way cards rotate during shuffling, it's all a joy to look at. The game itself takes a bit too long for it being non-interactive. I still think you did a great job on this!

I make the ErikTheBerik words my words, plus that you are missing a restart button.

The presentation of the game is great, really cool art and I love the win/lose floating text. But I don't think the game is too much fun considering you can't do much to control the outcome... I understand that you had to make the card selection random, as to follow the theme, but that makes the game more into a "movie" than a game. 

Still really well done! Congrats! :)

PS: The game has been running for over 10 minutes and there is still no winner.
