Wow, that's a lot of work. Very fleshed out environments. I know I did a lot wrong (ending 9), but I kind of wish I had a few more hints at the end as to what led to my demise. I would have accepted karmic retribution for framing the poor sleeping woman... yikes.

Absolutely loved the stylings on this one.  Very taut and tense and thrilling, with all sorts of twists and turns!

Developer

Thanks :-D

I love me some Cold War styled things!!!  And this really manages to keep the tension and the atmosphere to our desperate situation. I can just imagine the whole desolated East Berlin landscape in such a dreary black and white...

Really managed to submerge me in the fiction, very good!

Developer

Thanks :-) Glad you liked

Super tense game with strong cold war thriller vibes. Didn't use all the stuff I'd picked up so def curious to see how else things could have played out

this is so much fun! I loved travelling between the different places and how different options opened up depending on the items you found. thinking about playing again immediately to see what I can do with different items as I’d gathered a few and didn’t get to use all of them this time!

Developer

Thanks!  I actually worked backwards - came up with a bunch of ways to escape and then tried to figure out what items might be used to get there!

That's a really nice game, I very liked the descriptions of streets and alleys of Berlin, very authentic, I felt the atmosphere. 
Can't even guess what's happening in all endings – I've managed to escape from the first time (don't know what I would do if didn't take that ID card, I hope you can escape with other approaches).
Great work!

Developer

Thanks :-)  Glad you liked!

Great, tense little game, I managed to escape but it really feels like I managed to do it with a bit of luck and smart thinking. I think it would have been better if you'd started straight in the action, that's when the game really grabbed me!

Developer

Thanks!   Yeah - I know what you mean about the start.  I thought about it both ways, starting on the run in the middle of the action, but then went for the slight buildup to try and set the scene instead.  Still not sure if I made the right choice or not :-)
