Nice game, I thought a lot about trying to make text games, so I'll try to learn from your example!

CVs pleaseNot really my thing, yet still paired very well with a bowl of Health Oats(TM) by SuBux(TM)!
This feels way too prophetic. It's going to be really funny in 5 years when we have to fill out a questionnaire and scroll through 5 ads before we can play the game!

Solid game! And pleasantly deep, I didn't know what to expect with a game about buying a charger.
Your writing is great and intense, I was really into the story. I like that there are different endings too.
I darkly enjoyed the Quizz lol, very clever of you. The first question was okay, but I still wanted to quit after this one since there was only one mandatory. Then I saw the points thing and I was like: "Ooh, very smart, I can't really quit now, can I?" but the second question's options were all horrible hahaha. As an artist, I was like "outch."
So on my second run I just decided to give up on that phone charger. So refreshing!
The Fuck Capitalism power is very good here :3! Also I'm guessing this is a solo submission? That's impressive.
If you ever plan to update your game, I think music would be a nice addition to it, even if it's background one (with the possibily to turn it off if it bothers you). Also maybe if you've set a definite number of endings, the "ending number/total ending numbers" would be nice too!
Keep the good work and... fuck capitalism >:3

Mindfarerthank you for the feedback! yeah, this one was just me + some lightweight tools, so music & persistent saves to track routes was a bit out of scope for the time i had. if i do end up returning to it, that and some font colour options for better accessibility will be top of my list!
(if you're curious, there are only two endings, but there's some text in between you may or may not see depending on your choices.)
Oh boy, now to head off for my amazing Ramen sponsored by Amazon!
Liked it a lot, can't wait to do this again in a few months when they come out with the next charger cable! The questionnaire was questionable though, some of the answers almost felt subversive and satirical!!! :O
That made me feel very unsafe, and I hope the next state-sponsored questionnaire will remove answers that could make me feel uncomfortable or like I am being challenged! Thank you very much for your consideration.

i was a bit weirded out by the mix of realistic and fictional elements. we're far from having a State in real life ^^ however the struggle of the starving artist is relatable xD
