We'd love to hear about your experience, what you enjoyed, how it made you feel, and any feedback you have for us to consider for any patches we may apply to this project in the future!.
If you entered the jam, congratulations, and we can't wait to check out your submissions!

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
This game explores the crushing weight of personal responsibility in the most extreme of situations, the dehumanisation of isolation, and the moral imperatives of those unlucky few who find themselves standing on the precipice of devastation of unknowable proportions.

When the order arrives, would you become the weapon?

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Best played in a quiet environment with headphones on. Take your time to explore, read and ponder; we put a lot of care into the little details, and we hope you'll enjoy discovering them and piecing the story together. Thanks for checking out our entry!

Fantastic game! I loved the atmosphere of the game and the panic felt real near the end. I misread one of the final steps .  It said location "Bridge, Hallway and Server" I thought it said "Sewer" and was panicking because I didn't know where the sewer was xD

Good art 

Good voice acting 

Great submission overall I enjoyed it.

I explored hard on my first run through and had about 10 seconds left at the end to make my decision. 

Did I sit and listen to the full wellness program? Yes. Mental health is important.

Did I spend 5 minutes trying to get to the easter egg before the game properly kicked off? Also yes.

Did I have a moral crisis caused by a relentless timer and commands being shouted at me while I put every disk in the wrong slot before realising I'm dumb? Again, Yes. 

Really nice pacing, excellent sound design and strong theme on the art and game design.

This is so well put together for only 2 weeks work, congrats <3
