Poor NPCs we do not respect them enough

Developer

We really don’t. This has been such an eye opening experience!

Interesting concept. Unfortunately I seem to be having a bug where I can't play because everything is frozen and I can't move beyond a fixed area (unless that is the game ?)

Developer

Oh, yea that is intended. You are an NPC confined to a predefined area in a world where the player forgot to pause the game before going afk. It is either a prison or a paradise, depending on your perspective (or something entirely new that I haven’t noticed yet. Art is in the eye of the beholder after all!)

Amazing you created this masterpiece in just 48 hours.

Developer

Thanks! I actually only had 24 hours because of life lol, but I’m glad I was able to pull it off and create this work of art.

So this is what its like on the other side... great job! I've seen a lot of games with this concept, but I really like this one!

Developer

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! Yes, the NPCs truly have to deal with a lot.

Serious contender for game of the year! Great job my fellow npc enjoyer

Why thank you! I really wanted to capture the core essence of the NPC condition and speak on the morality and ethics behind it. NPCs are such unique creatures and I am glad that I am not alone in this perspective!
