How does your game represent "Power"?
I took the theme of Power in the direction of Soft Power a boss would have in a corporate settings. The game explores the mundane and almost trivial decisions a person in "Power" makes on a daily basis and how they have large real world affects. In this game you exercise your position of Power to progress the story while exploring some interesting characters and wacky scenarios. This game is mostly a Narrative so its not designed to punish the players decisions, it encourages you to explore. There is a LOT of different paths through the game, I don't think I have even personally seen them all. So make interesting choice and see some funny dialogue as a result!
And lastly thank you so much for hosting this jam. I have never made anything like this ever before. It was a massive amount of effort and I have a ton of pride in this game. Its been an absolute blast to work on, and I have already had a ton of amazing laughs with my friends play testing... Cheers and Love from Des Moines Iowa!

But fr I loved playing this, very unique and the UI and pixel art are great.
I appreciate it! Your entry is fantastic, really happy you gave my game a try.
Really unique take on power! Fun theming and a cool twist at the end. Carl's section does depend on knowing the characters well enough, so an option to prevent players getting stuck there could be something like interacting with/inspecting their desks/typical areas to get some insights into who's normally there as well as their unique personality quirk. Nice work!
I updated the game description to have a Character reference sheet that should help with the Thursday Puzzle. If you are still stuck the Answers can also now be found in the description. Hope you all can see Friday, I think its a really cool day and transforms the game quite a bit!
Also got stuck at the Carl section I'm afraid, but I love the concept and artstyle!
really enjoyed the writing! unfortunately i'm too terrible at remembering names and got stuck at the 'carls' section. aesthetic was a vibe too.
That section does trip up a lot of people... There is another big twist at the end if you make it through. THANKS!
This is what Pokèmon would have been like if there was no pokemons
