Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Of course

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
OF COURSE

Summarise your game!
You are the final say. The judge, if you will. The one who decides who on death row deserves life or not. As designated by the Supervisors, you enter your room of judgement, read the reason that the prisoner behind the window is on death row, and use the terminal before you to decide their fate. Though not everything is as it seems… you know the Supervisors can be harsh, and that everyone has a story. And the guards behind you do love to give you pointers on what to do. But in the end, the answer is left up to you: Will you listen to a prisoner’s story, or show no mercy?

The game is entirely based on decisions made. Nothing past that.
The game’s ending system is dictated based on the Mercy and Approval ratings you get from your decisions. With every sentence to death, you lose a Mercy point. With every decision made before a Supervisor shows up, you gain an Approval rating. And vice versa for both, of course.
Because of this, the game has 4 total endings currently implemented.

Besides the sound effects (provided by Zapsplat), all of the art, programming and music is entirely original.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
## WARNING TO PLAYERS ##
## DO NOT READ THIS NEXT PART UNLESS YOU WANT SPOILERS ##

You Are The Weapon, while may not seem directly linked to the core of the game (depending on how you look at it), is more clearly revealed through discovering the endings. In these endings, we discover that the player is not only deciding who dies and who lives, but also actually killing the people who they sentence to death themselves. Are they human? Are they a weapon engineering by humans? Are they even truly, “alive”? All good questions. Anyway…

## END OF SPOILERS ##

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
TO THE JUDGES: You may notice that the game does not scale with window sizing changes - this is because I failed to remember to set a singular setting in the Godot settings to allow for window scaling in the game. I did not add this fix after the deadline because I thought it'd be against the rules. 100% scaling on a full screen browser works just fine for me though. Apologies!
