Minor spoilers ahead, though I'll try to avoid spoiling the dramatic twists.

The graphics and overall presentation are very MSPaint esque, which is perfect for this jam. Definitely feels very SBIG from the beginning. Pulling the username for the player name is a neat trick, too.

This is one of the few entries where the audio stands out, and unfortunately it's not in a good way. The music is irritating, and the engine noise is actually painful. It crosses the line into so bad it's terrible, it's more like what I'd expect from GBTK, and I ended up muting the sound for the last third of the game.

I don't want to spoil the narrative too much even with a warning, but I did really like the direction it went in. I think I missed a lot because I'm not familiar with either of the games it references, but I still enjoyed it.

I do feel the game is a bit too slow to build up- I almost quit out before the first hint, and again just before the genre shift. The sections after the genre shift are similarly too large for the movement speed. Having to endure the horrid engine noise I think contributed to this- it really wore down my patience.

I did really like the accelerate/run over mechanic.

GBTK has conditioned me, I was half-expecting it to delete files or something at the end. I don't know how I feel about the ending overall, it's definitely in line with the rest of the narrative, but it's pretty unsatisfying.

I chose the "regular" school bus. I don't know if choosing different buses substantially changes the game, but I'm not willing to play through again to find out.
