I love the atmosphere you built here! Very compelling narrative that kept me going. Your delivery is excellent too, not revealing too much, too quick.

There's so much environmental storytelling here! It was awesome to unravel the protagonist's past, very well crafted story, congrats!
There's an amazing amount of immersion here for something created only in 10 days. Branching dialogue options, different scenes, multiple characters, this is the most thought-out story I've seen among all jam entries thus far.
This game has a crazy amount of detail and dialogue - wow! Amazing entry!
Ok, I gotta say. As much as I am not one that likes to read a lot of text in games I laughed a lot at some of the dialog. The one that has me writing here is the one about the old man staring back at me when I look in the mirror. LOL
The graphics are spot on and feels and sounds and plays so much like a Gameboy game. Great job!
All the sprites were very well done and the color scheme is like mine with the OG colors. :D
I generally dont care too much about storytelling in games in general, I am more of a "gameplay feeling" guy. But I LOVE when I care about the story of a game. In a game entirely based on that, this is essential! Really nice work!
(Also: I shouldnt leave the house, right?)
A very nice story. You worked it pretty good. It felt like an interactive narration :-)
Abolutely great storytelling. This is more a story than a game, but its so immersive and you get more and more curious to know whats happening! It really creates a necessity to have a narrative category!
With the quantitiy of options you have in the dialogues, I feel the game could have alternate endings! You could add points to different variables with each option! Like, they could take him in the end, forgive him, he could been arrest or exposed in the media, etc!
Cool story bro!
Congrats on your submission! It was a little dark, but good story overall. I was hesitant towards the end when I had the suit since I had already made the mistake of gaming over early on. I double checked everything to make sure I had no other choice. I thought the "No Option" options were pretty funny. Well done!
I really enjoyed playing this. Good dialogue and great sprite work.
Great game! Almost every thing was interactable and the story was well thought out. The sprite work is very good and diverse.
Well done. Lots of detail with everything you can interact with. I also like the context of the retired pilot looking back on his life and being haunted by his past. Great entry.
Wow, well-written! Loved all the details in the house, and some really nice sprite work!
Very high score. The only thing that was not completely harnessed, in my opinion, is the secondary theme, which has only been taken as in outer-space and not also as any other interpretation of the space, like volumen, surface, capacity, scale...
looks well made, gave it a high rating. I don't enjoy text games though.
This is a neat entry. Lots of reading but if you are in the mood for this kind of thing it's top notch. Fantastic job with the narrative and the scene compositions were very cinematic and immersive for a gameboy game. Well done!
