Cookies eaten
I almost starved to death, was tied up to my chair so I can finish the game. (They watered me only with milk, no cookies, they went so hard on me jesus)

So ya this is definitely one of those morally heavy games lol. I had no issues resurrecting/sending to heaven but when it came time to send to hell I just couldn't do it. Very interesting interpretation of the limitation!
Great start! I had trouble getting past the first person, as nothing happened when I decided to resurrect them. It would be helpful if there was a "completed forms" box or something in which to place forms to move forward with the game. If there was one, I couldn't find it - it might help to highlight it. Nice game!
The game is sooo good, it hooked me until I finished, really good job with the content and the stories, and the ambience through the art and music/sfx is great.
Superb submission, bravo!!
Take a look and rate my game if you get the time, cheers.
I am the balancer and everything is in my hands. I control the future.
Played til the end. Great work! I really enjoyed this game. I think it was a bit too easy to keep things balanced at all times, which made the ending feel unfair. It would be nice to be able to advance the text. Also there were some times where the text overlapped on screen.
Pretty fun game. Reminded me of Papers, Please, just only purgatory edition. I did find quite a bit of misspellings, but it didn't hurt the game any
That was really good! i had fun and really enjoy the game. Really amazing how this game took only 3 days to make.
