This one was a shocker! At first I thought I knew what kind of experience you were offering and as I continued you really threw me for a loop - in a good way. 

First, it's a plus that the game is offered in two languages. I played the English version and didn't see any issues at all during my playthrough with translation. Secondly, I like the pixel style and the interactivity through the various segments. Lots of humor here, and it took me a minute to realize how lightheated the game really is. It isn't a comedy but you use wit and sarcasm to make a point and foreshadow what comes later. 

Speaking of which, I thought I was playing a game where the goal was to trick someone with a cover story but that isn't quite what this is about. It takes a much deeper look at the effects of tourism and greed. I'm aware that a new law was passed in a part of Spain concerning places catering only to vacationers and pushing out those who live in the actual areas. So this is incredibly timely. It could benefit from limiting the word count in a few spots, but once I got into the heft of the game I didn't mind that as much - still it did toe the line for most my playthrough between informative and wordy. But not enough to make me give up on playing. 

And that's my review, I think you made something that really speaks to the theme of the jam but does a service to the topic you're presenting.

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and for playing our game with such attention, respect, and care. It's the first game the three of us have made together, and messages like this make us want to keep going. Also, you completely understood the idea and message of the game. And you're absolutely right about the length of the texts — next time, we'll try to get more to the point :)
