Your game is really cool and atmospheric,  I like the Papers Please style with super crisp art.  You should keep working on it! Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new things.  Please check out my game when you have time :D

Very good idea, I really had to make tough choices that made me feel like I was not in control. The visual art is great and the game is simple to play but very interesting. Great job, keep creating games!

Lovely little game with lots of scope to grow. The feedback on what I had failed to do could have been clearer. I got repeatedly told off, but I wasn't sure if it was because I hadn't built a tunnel or hadn't punished the men.

Further development suggestions: Add in flavour text, like backgrounds for the soldiers and reasons for them getting drunk/frightened (the first time I played I had two guys with the same surname get drunk together - were they brothers celebrating a birthday or just drinking to get through the pain of the war?). Fix the raindrops, they really looked too much like bugs crawling over the desk.

Hi nicholasojones! Thanks for taking the time to play my game the feed back is appreciated.
I do believe I should have been a little more transparent with the systems and a little clearer as well so players aren't confused why they got a strike. 
I terms of flavor text, I plan to add this. You may notice they have a hometown section on their file, but I just didn't have time to include it.
and yes the raindrops! I too think they look kinda janky, that's because they were included 30 mins before the jam deadline after I added the rain background noise. I will improve!

Loved the game! Very atmospheric. "Papers, please!" feel is strong — my game was also partially inspired by it!

Love games like these! the only thing missing is an undo button. Overall excelent job

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

I know it seems harsh, but I left an undo button out on purpose.  This was designed to slow the game down and make the player take extra care before they commit to placing a stamp.
