Omg I was scared of this game at first because I really don't like scary things and I saw the flesh baby in the thumbnail he's so unsettling...
I think the story is pretty cool! I love the theme of making an impossible choice, especially one where you have to sacrifice someone close to you haha. I got all the endings where you talk to the overseer as either Lux or Grit and choosing to sacrifice yourself or your friend. Part of me was hoping there's a secret way to save both of them? :') Also there is so much dialogue! I didn't get to complete every single dialogue so maybe I missed more content, but I liked the personality of each character and how they talk.
Aesthetics wise I like how dark and dirty the world is, and I liked how the characters kept mentioning that this place is better than the outside, really makes you wonder how bad the outside world is. For a 7 day game jam its impressive to have all the models made from scratch! Lore-wise I was also wondering why the overseer looks like hes made of flesh and has real eyeballs when all the other characters seem to be robots.
Gameplay is not bad, I think for a game with two characters who have different abilities, I expected it would be more of a puzzle game, but my experience is mostly just walking back and forth to talk to each character. I think its easy to play Lux because he can jump anywhere so easily, Lux can complete the game all by himself. It's harder to play Grit because even though he can pick things up, it doesn't seem like a cool ability because the only use is to make ramps to walk up places that Lux can just simply jump. I think for Grit to be more useful maybe he can push some minecarts or rocks out of the way, like do something that Lux is not able to do. That way Lux needs Grit's help, and Grit need Lux's help. If they depend on eachother to progress it will make the ending more sad that you have to kill one of them.
Great job!! I love the part where they explained why Lux and Grit were sent to be decommissioned, I can imagine there is a bigger world with a bigger story out there from just this little game you made. Thanks for participating in our game jam!!
