How does your game fit the theme?
You're trying to get everyone into your bunker before the storm (the apocalypse) happens. The thing is-- the storm isn't going to happen. A perpetual calm before the storm that isn't gonna happen... right?
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes.

Very fun game recommended by someone else with great characterization! Would absolutely recommend.
I did run into this issue where by moving the characters in a certain way I could combine them, and that broke the game. Alternate ending: You all become one entity...?
thank you so much! that's a known issue, we're thinking of a way to fix it right now
Impressive how much art you did in just a week! The game felt really satisfying to play but there was a bug I encountered that prevented me from progressing where I couldn't place anyone on an empty tile but using that tile was the only solution I had to actually be able to progress
For some reason, this is one of the games of this jam which I just coudn't stop playing until I finished. I liked all the little details you got: sprite moving animations, dialog "voices". Also liked convincing people and how dialogs were written overall, it was fun! I don't know if it is possible to not save someone due to lack of time, but I saved everyone (had only 2 mistakes and needed to try convince these people again). Mini-game of fitting people in the bunker wasn't too hard, and it was also fun.
Great games, guys, loved it!
First of all, incredible premise. Instantly made me interested in the game. Second of all, the game itself is great and lives up to the premise completely lol
It's fun trying to convince the various characters using their descriptions to your advantage - I did struggle getting Quinn on board, took me two tries (!!) but it was smooth sailing with everyone else. The ending is great too.
I got confused with some of the sitting logic keywords (logical) for most of the game but it's neat that you can use the character descriptions within gameplay like that.
Overall fantastic jam submission, amazing work!!
Interesting combination of dialogue with the board placement and how the different attributes affected where you can place the piece. I think the board sometimes glitches as I was able to get a piece right on top of another one, but it was pretty interesting.
Overall, nice job on this game!
Hee-ho. Cute art
Really good and funny little game, I love the way it fits into the theme! Although stacking multiple people in one slot kinda breaks some of the difficulty. I’d be stuck for way longer if that wasn’t possible. Awesome stuff, nevertheless!
I have successfully convince everyone and put them in one place, :D
Good puzzle game! that was fun
Hilarious! I liked the writing, the art and the puzzle mechanics. Unfortunately, the puzzle bugged out, sometimes I couldn't place characters on certain tiles. This bug appeared when I got everyone in the bunker, so couldn't finish it. It was good before that though!
yeah... we dont know what's happening with that. thanks for pointing that out! we're very glad you liked it :D
The art was so sweet and wholesome! I also appreciate that one house that's . . . just . . . on the others. Big fan of the idea to make our protagonist be into conspiracies this spiel being normal to everyone surrounding them.
hehe funny house
Thanks for playing!!
this is one of my favorite games I've played this jam! funny, interesting, and a unique idea! I like the contrast between talking to the people and then puzzling out how to fit them all together
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! It was definitely a lot of work trying to merge two ideas into a single game but glad to hear it worked out well. :)
Very innovative game, and fun too! I really liked it! Well done :)
Thanks! It was a pretty blind shot in the dark in whether it would work out so I'm glad it ended up working out.
The decisions were really well done! I’m not usually a fan of this type of game, but for some reason, I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun. Great game!
Great to hear it! We definitely took it in a bit more of an odd spin than just your standard visual novel so good to hear it panned out!
loved the character design! i enjoyed playing this one a lot, even if i wasnt very great at it :'D awesome work!!
Really glad to hear it. We were definitely trying to go more for a high score style rather than expecting someone to get all of them.
hehe very innovative and right on the theme! well done bro!:))
Calm before the storm definitely doesn't imply that there has to be an actual storm. ;) Thanks!
good aesthetics, nice character art design, awesome writing and a cool puzzle in the end, gj!
Glad to hear it, I was a bit worried in the middle but it sounds like everything came together nicely in the end! Thanks!
