How does your game fit the theme?
The Calm before the Storm in 'Futile Pleading' is in the dark quiet town, as you spend the last moments before the storm arrives to convince as many people as you can to come into your bunker. Depending on how you do will decide who lives and dies from the storm, but the game remains focused on this tense calm leading up to the storm hitting.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I used the Unreal 5 engine, but aside from that YES. I made all 3D assets in blender, programmed all the sequences, and my partner on the project, Kor, made all of the character portraits as well as the music. (well I played guitar but he did the rest)

Cool! I will admit, there were a couple of folks I conveniently left out of the bunker >:3
This was fascinating! Literal, but cool take on the theme. The art was good, the characters were charming though their animations reminded me of Salad Fingers. Music was good, too. Only criticism I can think of is that the lady with a car said I can have her lamp but I don't think I got it nor did I see where I could take it, so couldn't convince that one guy who's scared of the dark.
Really really cool game, with really cool art style and dialogues! I think, there is no thing I didn't like ... except for me not being able to have everyone survive ... someone is just TOO hungry! 😅
Just kidding, this was really cool, thank you! :-)
Great art style and idea! More indication that time is running out would be great, cuz first time i played my time ran out while i was gathering crops. Also cursor disappearing after clicking kinda disorients
Phenomenal! The game is engaging, unique, and visually stunning. Your hard work and creativity are evident in every corner of this game! :)
Crazy this was put together in one week, love the art and the dialogue, great work!

It's fun and I like other elements, but the best thing is art
I really liked art

Very nice game! Loved the visuals both 3D and 2D and the dialogue was really charming!
Honestly I loved the art and the dialog. Also, every friend group has a Cucker Barflestin.
Really cool style, impressed with what you managed to pull off with a week, might come back to this to see the different choices.
Fantastic style and art, i love these types of games. You did a really good job! :)
