Really, really impressive work for a jam! The presentation is fantastic, both when it comes to grahics, character work and sound design - I especially love the 80s influence. The story is also very extensive considering it was made for a game jam, I spent quite a while trying to uncover all the secrets and interactions which was really fun. I did grow worried about how much the stakes were rising but I feel like the game handles them responsibly while also acknowledging scope, so kudos to the team! The gameplay itself is also really cool and I love how it uses Renpy features to achieve a fun game loop. It does get a bit repetitive so 1-2 extra maps would have been nice, and sometimes you do get stuck on a dead end where you can't help but run into a mannequin, but I'm assuming they are nonlethal because of that. 

Also, there's a voice line where Lock asks "Are you sure you don't want to read it?" instead of "Are you sure you don't want to keep it?" when Torch reads his letter. (Not sure of the actual line but you might want to check that out!)

All in all, a really interesting concept with a very fun and well presented execution. Thank you for making it! This universe is really cool and if you ever make another game related to it I'd be thrilled <3

Thank you so much for playing! ;;7;; Honestly, because things were getting kind of high stakes, it took a while for me to come up with a decent ending lol 😭😭😭 I'm glad you enjoyed your experience though!

And dw-- I also realized after having to test the game over and over (and going through the whole thing multiple times) that the maze minigame does lose it's novelty after while WHEEZE I kinda chalked it up to "haha now its like an actual job, huh" a real its a feature not a bug moment BSJDNFM

Also, about the voice line mistake... I know :(((( It's not the VA's fault! He read it correctly, I was the one who realized too late that there was a typo in the lines and then it was too late to rerecord at that point 🥲🥲 I figured I'd change the script at least so it'll maintain the logic lol

But yea! Thank you so much for playing!! Honestly after finishing I've been thing about the world building a lot ww Everything is making me want to revisit it
