Game Description
You're just a regular worker at a normal office. Nothing strange here. You saw someone being dragged away screaming? Just Samantha from accounting playing one of her usual pranks. A satanic blood-letting ritual? That's just the water cooler. You have papers to file so enough with this nonsense. Work hard and climb up the corporate ladder to in Happy Trail Inc's very first project together for Godot Wild Jam #78. Complete with 5 Different Endings!

How does your game tie into the theme?
In the game, you are erasing weird markings, burning evidence of wrongdoing, and shredding documents. This also explores erasure of identity in the workplace.

A lot of good bad things going on here! Not my go-to game genre, but I appreciate the effort you put into this game, and the dark twist, which made it more interesting.

Super fun game! Hell is pretty funky. I was able to get 3 endings but I couldn't find the last 2. I thought there might have been one for feeding the shredder human flesh a bunch but there wasn't :( 

Great job!!

I ran outta time to add the easter egg for feeding the shredder living flesh. I totally meant to. Haha that would've been SO GOOD! Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed :)

Cool game. I really like the take on Papers Please, and the story was pretty interesting. Everything worked really smoothly and I didn’t experience any issues. The art was really cool and I like how the environment changed as the days went on. Especially the small details like the Approve stamp turning red.

One thing I’m gonna say, is no one told me I cant approve a living document, idk who my manager is, but that was a 100% a valid permit. :p

Nice work!

Developer

Haha, thanks for the review. Just make sure you don't feed those living papers to the shredder. Don't want her getting the taste of meat :P

Really like the writing, really funny hearing barb give corporate briefings about human flesh hahha Had a good job papers-pleasing it up. I would have liked to see the rules expand and change but I’m sure that was the plan and just limited by time. One element from Papers, Please that would have been fun to see twisted is the larger moral questions, could be really funny to subvert those emotionally driven decisions, you t it up the same way but even when the player makes the a morally correct decision someone gets eaten anyway, for example. Great game really fun tone.

Developer(+1)

Love the idea about forcing the player to make larger moral choices.


My spin on that - What if we made each day a set time (e.g. 3 minutes), and the more papers you process, the more of your coworkers are laid off. Could imagine funny quips from Barb congratulating you on your performance and then offhandedly mentioning mass layoffs. This is similar to Papers, Please where your performance by the day directly correlates to whether you're able to pay for food/shelter/medicine for your family. I  would love to see choices the player makes affect the gameplay and narrative in more substantive ways.

This is fun. I love stamping things. Very accurate to the corporate experience in some ways.

Developer

Yeah this may as well be a documentary :)

Awesome game! Love the multiple endings! Great spin on "Papers Please" (or at least that's what it reminded me of). Cool shift in tone at the end... Good job for a first time jam.

Thank you! This is my first game jam but I have years of professional dev experience.

I enjoyed your game as well! Rated & Reviewed :)

I don't like that the player gets called a dumbass after one mistake

Developer

Barb is rude as heck! Stick it to the man.

Even as a dev I keep forgetting to stamp or missing forged logos lol. Mistakes are inevitable :)

I really liked the "That's not my Neighbor" vibe and style, also quite nice having multiple endings on a jam game, pretty fun. We kinda had a similar idea for the jam, you definitely brought a better execution.

Very nice game, I really enjoyed the parody of corporate hell and the humor.

Developer

Ayy Papers Please/Neighbor buddies! I liked your game too, I really enjoyed the aesthetic, music, and vibe. Congrats on a jam well done!
