Really enjoyed the story. I do wish there was even just a short little 'where are they now" kinda thing at the end but that just means it left me wanting more so great job! Not sure if it was an issue on my end but I couldn't hear anything even after adjusting the volume in the game settings. Speaking of which I love that settings were included and even save files too! Not common for jam gams but appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it! On the sound, we didn't get time to add anything and given the subject matter and gameplay decided it was OK without - if we extend upon it post-jam we'd likely add some atmospheric hum and some simple music.

For the save games and such you can thank Ren'py, it was my first time using the engine but I was very impressed.

Scarlet reminds me of a former colleague who resigned. I decided to stick it out, though hahahaha.

I've definitely known people like Scarlett, her texting style and attitude is inspired by multiple people I used to know a decade or so ago :D

I definitely feel the same way as Wrinkly Brain Studios. This whole game feels like my life the past several months. The writing in this game is really good!
