This was pretty nice... It had that creepy feel that my game has too... not many games have tried that mood for the jam... I overall liked it a lot!! Good luck!

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate your comments! I’ll give your game a look, it looks interesting. :)

There's a lot of excellent ideas in this jam but not many games manage to nail a theme and a setting as well as this one does. Love the dystopia and moral choices, excellent job!

Developer

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments! :DD

I really like the lack of imagery here, I think it works as a dystopian setting. I also like that the Manual isn't very obvious in the UI because I was surprised when I got in trouble on the first day (in a good way)! I think some sound design would really elevate this (e.g. a CRT hum, some beep boop sounds when letters appear on screen), and being able to press a button to show all the text immediately would help with replaying.

Thanks for the tips. :)

the concept is interesting, I'd like to see it expanded upon with a bit more polish and maybe some simple graphics. It gave me a papers please vibe

Developer

It might be fun to revisit later and make it more polished! :D Thank you.
