Too bad about all the aspects you mention in the list because they would actually make it a good game! In any case, it's a well-made and fun demo, I immediately found the atmosphere very creepy and intense, and I immediately immersed myself in the role-playing game! GJ and try our game too!

I liked the game. Your list of improvements also look promising. An improvement could be adding an input that enables people to skip the wait time between every choice. It would be better for the people who play again.

Thank you for the suggestion! It actually sounds like a great idea. I'll add it to the list for a post-jam update! Tysm for playing our game :)

I went for farmer john and both options led to nothing. You probably had bigger plans for his story-line and didn't have time but it was really frustrating that you can't skip the dialogue. As basically the first couple minutes of my playtime was just time wasted. 

It could use a skip text button or a fast-forward button so you don't have to sit through the same dialogue twice. Other than that, the music and the art were nice. Of course this style of game is best when there are multiple ending so its was very disappointing that so many led to "to be continued" instead of a proper ending.

Developer

Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. This is the first time we threw something out like this and sadly I ran out of time. Still thank you for trying it out and letting me know! I'm making a list of improvements for the game and stuff to watch out for next time.

I love all the art for the characters and the custom songs they have!

Could use more content and possibly a skip some of the cutscene options

Cool concept. Takes an awful lot of time to start again 'cause you can't skip any of the dialogue if you get stuck on a to be continued screen

Developer

Yeah, its something I would have liked to implement but I ran out of time sadly. Thanks for your input bro, I appreciate it.

Story was well done, dialogue is well written, wish there was more! 

Developer

Tysm! Yeah i wanted to make the game longer but having a 9 to 5 eats up a lot of time :c If the game gets more hype we're down to finish the project at a later date! :D

Glad to see this take on the theme! Political power is a cool route to go down. I will admit, the mafia guy was too cool looking for me to say no to.

Developer

Thanks! When i saw the theme it just popped into my head so we just ran with it :D and I'm glad you like him, my friend had a blast with his design.

I like the set up and the art of the characters is really good, shame there isnt more, but overall good job

Developer

I really appreciate it! If the game gets a little more hype we're down to finish the storylines at a later date :D
