Okay so, I friggin loved this one. The concept was so unique and I was so engaged I literally had to turn my TV off to focus lol. The message you were going for feels really genuine because your gameplay loop does everything it can to make you feel like you will fall apart if you relax for even a second. Also every time you failed, you had to redo the dialogue with the boss, and finding out that all of the options are basically the same is such a nail in the Orwellian coffin I loved it. I can seriously talk about this game for days. Super friggin job I can't wait to play more from you <33333

P.S. I thought I should mention, I wasn't actually able to beat any of the levels, the difficulty was a little too high for me, but at the same time that kinda feeds into the whole theme. Sad I won't get to see the extra content though :,)

lol all good! I noticed I got too good at the game while playing through it between programming XD Once I saw Jerome play it after release, I would've made lowering difficulty the number 1 change. So glad you liked it though! <3
