Very cool theme and visuals here. I liked the multitude of characters to engage with and also the cyber-punk area. No sure if it was a glitch, but I didn't get any special SFX to tell when I was hit by or hitting the techno-squidy enemies. The UI had a nice clean style and the teleporting movement had a good animation. Nice work, everyone!

Game Jam -MVM 22- Quincy's QuestThanks for playing our game, we appreciate you taking the time to try it.
I have watched your video and there are a couple of things I want to point out:
- The "bug" you encountered is not a bug, it is a feature of the corruption mechanic. If you are above a certain corruption threshold you gain the "mystery gun" which can be used to take corruption away from corrupted objects. This was mentioned on the game's page. I do agree that it should be more clear in the game, and as you said, mentioning it on the itch page shouldn't be necessary. You were able to progress without this gun though, I don't understand why you thought you were unable to continue without this gun since nothing was preventing you from doing so.
- Since you haven't seen most of the game, I have a video from a quick playthrough that you can watch if you're curious about what you haven't seen.
- The right mouse button is a laser pointer. The idea behind it was that you could use it for aiming.
- You gain corruption by killing enemies, you lose corruption by dying and by purification (your death caused your corruption level to drop, which removed the "mystery gun" from your equipment).
- The player is not a robot, but it's a sci-fi/retro-themed game. There are also details in the game hinting that the game takes place in a metaphorical representation of a computer. "Rooftop Art Museum" (RAM), "Cyber police unit" (CPU), etc. So that's why the game-over sequence consists of a blue/boot screen.
We are going to keep working on this game and pushing updates after the rating process is over.
This was pretty cool. I like that it had Gamepad (expect I couldn't shoot without using the mouse!) It looks like a lot of work went into the story and narrative and all that. I was a little distracted just trying to figure out where to go and what to do, given that you could talk to like everyone..... Overall I may come back and play it more... Ill give it 4/5
Please make the text go faster :D
The visuals are really nice, but I was missing a map. I got confused on where to go couple of times.
Would return to continue playing, should you continue it post-jam

From the DepthsThanks for your feedback!👍 :)
We are likely going to update the game post-jam, the addition of a map is one of the features that we’ll likely add.
As for the dialogue text, you’re able to make it go faster by pressing [E]. We’ll try to inform the player about this more clearly.
(I'm pretty sure I was playing your game while you were playing ours haha, good timing! 😀).
Had a blast playing this beauty. would love to know if you plan to add more to its world and story. I would definitely return to play it.
