I think most people have said what I would already. Nice 8-bit callback on the artwork. Good luck with future projects.

The art style was really really great. But I’ve had a very hard time focusing on a story-based game without any sound. Very creative usage of the theme as well!

The interpretation of "one time use" into a game about a man who uses others for his own gain was an interesting one, and I enjoyed seeing how you chose to explore it. The graphics were probably my favorite part, as the simple pixel art and coloring gave it a really nice retro feel. I also think that the lack of background music emphasized the sober feel of the game. I think maybe some sort of sound for the characters' dialogue or the dialogue boxes could have added emphasis to the text, but I don't think the game was hurting without it!
My biggest critique of the game was actually addressed in another comment, in that the theme of the game felt a bit on the nose, but I also saw that you're already aware of it. Given you only had a couple hours to put everything together, and you had to write dialogue as you thought of it, though, I think you managed very well. I also realized on my second playthrough that NPCs had different things to say when you spoke to them again, and I immediately went around talking to each and every NPC I could reach to see what they had to say. It was a very nice touch!

I enjoyed the game overall. It was a nice, bite sized little game, conveyed what it wanted to convey, and had a really pleasing aesthetic. Excellent job!

This was a really cool take on the theme and I definitely started to feel invested in the story and the implications of the protagonist's actions on his life. The art-style was great and although I am a sucker for some good audio, I think the choice not to have any was pretty smart - definitely made the whole thing feel a lot more sombre! I'd love for there to have been some choice so I could have affected the outcome and how the protagonist treated those around him, but overall thought it was a really neat narrative experience!

A cool take on the theme. Nice, as a sound designer, to have no sound to be distracted by and to focus on the storytelling and charming visuals. Great use of Bitsy to make a menu screen with instructions. Do you really think the protagonist is happy with how things turned out? Thanks for sharing.

First of all, I adore the artwork - it may be my favourite in this jam so far.

I occasionally felt lost when finding the correct person to interact with before changing scene but this encouraged me to speak to all the NPCs and gain further insight into the story. I also appreciate the creative response to the brief. Great work!
