MY pc holds me back from playing peak

Oh no :(

The last guy, the guy I was annoyingly prevented from voting for, strangely looks like the man on the picture on the desk...

I loved the ambiance, I loved the psychological dilemmas, I love the hint of conspiracy transpiring from the various clues around, I loved the passive narration through the enforcement reports.

I'm not sure about the "metamorphosis", even though I sense that the parasite operates some kind of transformation on its host.

Apart from this minor detail, it was seriously a treat. Thanks for making this game and sharing it.

Developer

Hello and thank you for the feedback!

*spoiler

You cannot kill Mr. Cole, as you, his daughter, are mentally not able to kill your family member. You rather choose someone who you know is innocent to save your dad. 

 "Metamorphosis" in this context refers to the parasite that is changing people, or the new political order, that is changing / manipulating the generational thoughts of humanity. 

Thank you for playing! :)

I loved this. Moody and troubling. Great storytelling too. 

Developer

Thank you! That's what I aimed for!

Really cool atmosphere, I love the sound design. This entry has a really impressive level of polish!

It would be interesting to see some consequences for the players choices, or some kind of follow up based on who you vote for. I would also be interested to see data on who people picked!

I will maybe develop it further, depending on the reception I get! :) My main goal for this jam was to create a strong worldbuilding and atmosphere, and to tell a story. I was also experimenting with the idea of collecting the choices of players, but that would require some sort of online storage, so it is a bit hard to implement. Thank you for your feedback!

The worldbuilding and atmosphere were great, so nice job there. I could definitely tell that there was a lot of thought put into the world, so great work.

Developer

Thanks :)
