The art is on point

Thank you! I worked very hard on the character sprites and Antisonon created the perfect atmosphere with the office (in my own opinion)

Yeah I just finished rating all the submissions and yours has by far my favorite artwork. Very nice job

Developer(+2)

Thanks a lot, the team really appreciates it! We had a strong vision for the art, atmosphere, setting that we followed to the best of our abilities!

What a crazy game ahaha! Great atmosphere, and great work on the story. I wish the UX was a little leaner (fewer steps for one action), other than that, great job.

Developer (1 edit)

Some of it was sadly due to RPGMaker limitations, like the information items still having to be used on a "blank" character. We didn't want to include any scripts to fully capture that spirit of making a game in 3 days, so a bunch of compromises had to be made there.

Edit: Also, thanks a lot for the kind words! I felt the need to address the game's limitation there, and forgot to respond to the rest of the post. Oops.

Great art, atmosphere and backstories… this is huge! Feels a bit like “papers please”-like games, but harder.

Developer

Thanks, we really appreciate it! Also Papers, Please was definitely an inspiration. 

Also interesting point regarding the difficulty. Being the writer it's a bit hard to judge which scenarios are more or less difficult and how because you already have all the answers to the stuff you're writing.

Charming surreal atmosphere and great story! Very fun game to those who enjoy story-focused game

Developer

We're very glad you enjoyed the game so much! Thanks for the kind words!
