Wow, really cool project. Nice work! I definitely had fun, and there was nice feedback for when I was caught. Nice polish with the music and sound design. You used the theme really well too!

Great work!

This is one of the most fun games I tried in this jam, congratulations! Adding more variations you could create a complete game out of it!

Good combination of mechanics with stealth. Interested to see what else could be brought to the table in terms of wrangling NPCs.

Wow this is the best us of the theme i have seen. How long did it take to come up with it ?

Otherwise its also solid.

This game was fantastic! I think it was a great take on the theme and really ywell executed. The stylized low poly graphics were great and brought a lot to the feel. 

I'd love to play more of this!

This is a really interesting and unique way of tackling the theme. I never even thought that the player could be the only one that knows 'it is not real'. Very well done. It would have been nice to have different items or maybe a way to more easily influence which direction they take. It seemed like half of it was leaving it up to chance, which direction they would go. That said, it's still very well made and I'm looking forward to seeing if/where you take it from here.

brilliant idea of combining placing object and stealth system.

The game was really fun to play, the idea is new to me and it's a really good one! Congrats on the game and I hope you continue your development of it!

Really fun concept and your characters are extremely shaped. The little stops when they get suspicious was a nice touch, and the pink blob floating off into the void on the game over screen made me laugh!

Great game! The idea is really interesting and I think you've executed it well. Sometimes the game can get a bit challenging for me but I appreciate that!

Submitted(+2)

Wow, absolutely great game!

The 2nd level was a bit easy on accident, because I just removed one single  fence part, and the npc ran straight into the goal by itself.
The music doesn't fit perfectly in my opinion, b ut that's not really an issue.
Other than that, I couldn't find anything to criticize.

The idea / concept is great. It's also simple, fun to play. Great work here!

And congrats on your submission :)

I like how this could be a a stealth game without being a stealth game. It is a (not real) stealth game! ;D

Submitted(+2)

This is a really unique take on the theme that I have not seen before! The NPCs were a bit tricky to control at times but all around this was a really great game.
