I think the strongest part of your game is the element of surprise. Without giving spoilers, the final level where you need to remove the thumb drive really made this fun. At the same time, I think the story ramps up just a bit too quickly. I genuinely wanted a bit more of the tamagotchi experience where I could take care of these guys at least for 1 or 2 stages. Something to give me just a bit more connection to the lil guys before chaos happens, yknow?
That said, the theme, the meta narrative, everything here is so strong and well put together. I have a feeling you'll be a top contender for sure. Great job!
