My review: great art style, sound and gameplay. The puzzles were great, and I really had to explore hard as I don't like reading the content. which were like hints, i guess.
Great game! The premise was interesting, the writing was funny, and the puzzles were solid. My only complaint is that, as others have said, some of the hotspots were very easy to miss, but that certainly didn't spoil my enjoyment. Good job :)
"Dead Hand" reminded me so much of the Indy games by LucasArts. I love it! The artwork is great, the music fitting and the puzzles were fun. Didn't get stuck except for one pixel hunt. The writing (humour, dialogs) is also very enjoyable. Fantastic game!
Thanks so much for using my music in your game! I have hundreds of instrumentals on Pixabay, many of which are suitable for game soundtracks and are 100% free to use!
Wow, what a game, and I really like the two possible endings. One thing I did notice when playing in the control room the player walks through one of the machines but apart from that everything was super move.
Could I ask for the names of the songs used in the game? I understand they are taken from the depositories mentioned in the details above. Some are really good.
Yes. Unfortunately Perimeter does exist and it is rumored that is still in use (even if it is probably not as silly as I depicted it). If you want to know more I recommend to read the book:
The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy by David E. Hoffman
I hope I wrote everything correctly in Cyrillic :)

That was a blast!

The theme music is called 'Red Square' and it can be downloaded from https://pixabay.com/music/video-games-red-square-1980s-cold-war-synthwave-newwav...
Thanks again!
PS: The game is awesome! Great work. I love these kinds of point-and-click adventure games and the theme is very timely :)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it.

Hi, thanks for the kind comment. I'll check for that navigation issue and fix it for after the jam.
Great adventure. I find it rather inspiring.
I think I hit a bug near the end when the yellow component stayed in the inventory after being used.
Thanks for the kindness and for the heads up! I managed to fix the bug so it shouldn't happen anymore.

I added the links in the description.
Thank you!
Awesome game!
I never thought about how icbm sites operated before, especially the ability to launch missles on their own... scary stuff!
Also loved the Cyrillic text, I speak Serbian natively, so I could read most of it!

This game is so cool. I love the anti war message. Congrats!
Thanks for playing and the nice walkthrough video! :)
