Good game, would be better with a bit of back story or info at the start along with a few instructions but apart from that pretty cool.

A really humorous and fun game to play! It's a shame there is not a Humor category, or I would've given it a 5 out of 5. I find the art-style as well as the overall design really charming, too! I appreciated how you incorporated the theme into the game in a soft, at times subtle, and yet effective way.
If I had to give a small piece of advice it would be to fill in the space on both sides of the smartphone with a little something (a cool background or a new mechanic to name a few) so that it does not look as empty and you no longer have unused space!
Well done guys!
Very funny game! ^^ I wish it was larger so I could play more and kill more people hehehe :P
Pretty damn funny, had a blast playing it. The length of the game was also perfect, in my opinion, it ends before the joke gets old. Artwork is awesome as well!
Hi! I'll be playing #CarpeDiem tomorrow on stream along with several others games from the jam at 3:30pm EST. I'll be talking about any interesting design decisions as I play, and suggesting improvements if any come to mind. Please feel free to join me live, it'll be extra fun to chat together about your game while playing it :)
You guys did really well, as I said in the stream! It would be so perfect as a mobile game, especially if you had the jobs appear gradually so as a person goes about their day in real life they get notifications for the messages from the boss and the screechr feed. It would be extra real that way :o
Loved the writing, it had me grinning for a good couple of minutes. Only realized at the end that you can click on the persons profile to get clues though, damn! Not a whole lot in the "gameplay" space but a fun experience for sure and beautiful artwork that skeleton is amazing@!@
I like the morbid humor and the way you infused the theme in so many different ways. The storytelling via the Screechr app is well done and conveys subtle clues to the correct answers. While the "gameplay" aspect is a little lacking, I think as a narrative-driven experience it was a lot of fun. Well-polished and easy to get into. Nice work!
Really enjoyed it! Was a little confusing at the beginning, but once I got it I had fun! I love death as just nudging people to their own bad decisions, the writing was funny!
