I read the other comments before playing, I try always to do it during jams like this to know about issues and avoid to be stuck, despite might read some spoilers. So after reading other people's comment I had already an idea that the game was not matching the theme. When I was the presentation first and played the first level, I was nearly giving up and closing the game leaving soon, having already an idea about the vote. However, I decided to stay to play, finally the second level start to have some music. There are not many audio files playing during the game, but a background music is still better than nothing.
So the game continued, I sort of enjoyed reading the story and also the style brought me back to my childhood, during the 8-bit computer era. In the end I reached the end of the game, the story continued and well, yes. finally the theme concluded all it's round trip since the beginning. I like the message you wanted to deliver with this game, so I actually played it again just to see the other ending, since you spent time to make both of them.
Well done for the message you delivered. The game is not innovative, but in the end it deserve a place in this game jam theme :)
