Really polished game, everything in it is really well done, I think it can get awesome if your judgement had consequences, just as in papers please.
Does it ever end ? do you display some statistics at the end? It was surprisingly interesting that sometimes i sent souls to hell and other ones that did the same but with other action slightly different i send them to heaven.
now i feel like i should question my self about some things. D:)
Like the other commenters, this was surprisingly fun for a game with few game elements. Who knew judging people was such fun!?
If you were tracking the stats behind the scenes it would make for a fascinating social study (stuff like "70% of players sent vegan souls straight to hell")
Obviously based on Papers Please with a bit of a twist... Probably if I have one gripe it was that the audio was a little loud
If you could incorporate some challenge, story element or some other reason to progress this would be rad
This is really fun! I could only wish for a bit more "game" in the game, some currency management, having to justify choices to a boss, or something that makes it so that you can finish the game. However, since you are making subjective choices I understand that this is hard to include :) Really funny anyway, bragging about not watching tv is one of my favourites.
It was very funny at times, but man did the line build up!
Does it ever end?
"Recording concerts with a tablet" was one of my favorites :D
Perfect Story

Great work!
Nice Job!
I like the game idea. Good work !
mac version says it's damaged and can't be opened (macOS 13.4.1)
in terminal run:
xattr -cr /path/to.game
Like the idea. It did make me smile, which is a big plus! Even if there wasn't a lot of "gameplay" in the usual sense, the experience was still fun.
Nice entry, but yes it's not a "game" because there is no real way to beat it, explore it or understand a story, it's more like a simulation. It's a shame because you could have added a roguelike system when each decision can harm you if it's not right, and when the number of souls increase with time.
I love the concept! This kind of game really depends a lot on the originality of the descriptions and yours were consistently fun and interesting. My only real problem is that it didnt seem to have any reachable goal and once the descriptions repeat, you lose interest fast.
What an interesting idea! Supported artists they loved? Straight to Heaven!
