This is the most unique submission I've seen in the jam so far. Turn based conversation battle is a genre I've not really encountered (Ace Attorney inspired maybe?) I also like that it has learning in a natural (non-forced) way. I'm taking you at your word that the information is accurate, haha.
Potential Bug issue: a couple of times the conversation just had a one word emotion/description. That might be unintentional but I'm not sure.
For Level 2 (the village) and 3 (the penguin), I couldn't figure out what I need to do. I want to go back and try it, could you explain it to me?
Thank you for the history lesson and the chance to play your game.

Thank you for playing! I'm glad that you appreciate that I am trying to do something new! It's more than conversation battle - I'm attempting to simulate the entire spectrum of dialog nuances. Progress is slow but steady. Most of the inspirations are actually academic articles on etnomethodology and conversation analysis (yes, there is such a science!). Some of the inspirations from the gaming industry are: Draw Steel TTRPG negotiation, Child of Light queue system, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Griftlands.
Level 2 unfortunately I did not manage to complete it. So there is a shortcut - as long as you use the Reengage you are going to advance to level 3 no matter if you reach the end of the progression or not.
Level 3 - when you hear the sound signal and see the red circle at the top of the page, press the key [E] to dig the mine. Then click on it to detonate it. No pengiun was hurt during the making of this game ;)
About the accuracy - I was doing research on the setting throughout the jam and made a lot of effort to be faithful:
The Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention is a real thing. The dates are true - it started around 2009 and continued until 2020. The company logos (BacTec, Fenix Insight) are the actual logos.
The design for level 2 is to represent people being skeptical about how safe it would be. They had a total of 77 kilometres (48 mi) of fences and many preferred to leave them. You will find that the demining groups themselves avoid making guarantees.
