This was fun. The assets were really well designed and I really liked the writing for all the dialogue. It's really impressive the amount of work you put in!

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!

I love hearing what people pick for names. I think its a really simple, but powerful mechanic to bringing the world to life. I had not considered anyone picking a name that already was "taken", I imagine that got very confusing. Thanks!
I actually fired samuel before the "big moment", crazy how immoral i am. Very VERY great game, kinda crazy its made withing 10 days, just wow. Insane plot development, i love every character, i love the style, i love the story, i love the mechanics, i love carl OMG this is the best game i've tried.
P.S. his son is named funny
Awesome! I thought that option was a really neat interaction. Glad some people actually went for it. Really glad you enjoyed it so much. Means a lot, especially coming from you. Your game is so dope and I loved the world building in it. Rae has special dialogue if you fired Samuel and then try and throw him a party, if I remember correctly. I tried to add in as many acknowledgements as possible to your decisions in game. The order of them can even influence each other.
