• Wonderful visual and audio design and tremendously twitchy, tense gameplay! The narrative is sparse but all the more mysterious and atmospheric as a result. Loved it!
• I was intrigued immediately by the setting, and from the beginning the writing gave a sense of depth and complexity to the world of Remaintenance that held me. I appreciated the visual aspects very much, particularly the OS looking familiar but original. The sound direction was immaculate, with a lot of immersive sounds and perfectly chosen music to match the tasks at hand. I found myself replaying the game over and over as I failed miserably the first time (trying to read those terms of service popups!) and I had a wonderful sense of mastery and pleasure as I got better and better at the game/popups each time around. I wasn’t able to complete the game as I never got quite that good and had to move onto the next round, but I got close! A satisfying loop. The “level up” organ selections were also beautifully done, in both a gameplay sense and aesthetically. In terms of constructive feedback, and with the acknowledgment this was made in a small amount of time which prevented extra content, I suggest considering a little bit of lore unlocked as a “reward” upon each completion. Something to further connection with and engagement with the world, and also a break from the core loop. Impressed with what yall pulled together! Great work.
• Excellent concept and execution on the gameplay - I really had fun with that. I think you could have integrated some more creepy elements, something to make it truly scary. The damage effects were great! Really nice incorporation of the "OS" element of the jam. Well done.
