This is really interesting! I had kind of a hard time getting the different websites to load properly, I'm not totally sure why, so I couldn't really access the cheats website, which based on the screenshot seems to be some sort of upgrade system? Other than that, I think the biggest problem I had with the game was that the fade in/out was really long, and every time it triggered I felt like I was just waiting around. Otherwise I really enjoyed this though, the music and SFX are really nice, and the visuals are great! The intro also has a lot of bespoke stuff going on it seems which is really cool. Great job!

Hey there! Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you liked the game! Also, I believe I know the issue you're talking about with the websites not loading. Basically, in the current version of the game, there's an issue where pressing the buttons on the left side of the Sinners Wheel website make the remaining websites invisible, which has since been fixed in the current version (of which will be uploaded after the jam has ended). So, you pretty much just have to use the tabs at the top of the screen to switch between websites, otherwise some stuff breaks lol, sorry about that. The fade in/fade out thing sounds kinda weird to me, since all of the transitions in game are only 2-3 seconds long, so maybe its something to do with your system? Idk they don't seem too long to me as of now, but I will keep that in mind for future updates. Thanks again for playing and I hope you stick around for future updates!
Sweet! I'll be sure to check it out after the jam is over since I'm interested in seeing what else is here :) Yeah, 2-3 seconds is how long it takes for me, which feels much too long. When you consider that both the fade out and the fade in take 2-3 seconds each, suddenly that becomes 4-6 seconds for the whole fade, which seems unnecessary to me. In addition, because it's so slow, it isn't immediately obvious that it's fading out because it takes a second before there's any noticeable visual change on screen, and that combined with the fact that certain inputs are disabled during the fade can make things (such as the main menu) feel strange and unresponsive. It's a nitpick to be sure, and I do kinda have an unreasonable obsession with responsiveness, but I thought it would be worth pointing out anyway hahaha
Ah alright, yeah that sounds fair enough lol. I mean the transistion fade from getting onto/getting off of the computer is only 2 seconds (1 second to fade in, 1 second to fade out), but all of the other fade ins/fade outs are 3 seconds long, so I can see how that'd get kinda tiring after multiple playthroughs. I'll make sure to fix that in the next update, thank you again for your feedback!
