How did you choose to implement the Theme: State of Anarchy in your game?
I really wanted to try to come up with something that wasn't my initial idea of either something really politically focused (like focusing on anarchy as a political movement), or by my inital thought of "people running and screaming everywhere". I tried to take a quiet approach, while the world is in anarchy, something really messed up is happening beneath our eyes in another, different kind of archaic way. The facility itself is supposed to be in anarchy, but with one malfunctioning ai and two patients instead of a bunch of people.
Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?

"Live foreverrr, cn'all cheat death now."
C'mon, love. we're building the future.
I found the mood pretty unique, I got a little lost in the setup, not being sure of who I was and what I was doing, but it also piqued my curiosity, nice work!
Ty! It was definitely a fine line trying to be mysterious, it may have been a bit more confusing than I'd liked at the beginning. But i'm glad it piqued your interest, thanks for playing! <3
I love this, great writing and atmosphere!
The font choices add so much, the way certain words are 'misbehaving' in the documents add so much atmosphere and directs your imagination in interesting ways, and the options being embedded in the text gives a real sense of confusion and exploration; stumbling about in a strange place.
I got ending 3 my first time and I'm going to try exploring for the other endings!
Well done!
thank u so much for the feedback!!
I'm really happy you liked the atmosphere and misbehaving text, I was trying to make it feel like you were a malfunctioning machine. I'm glad it came across. Thanks so much for playing! <3
I loved the sound design on this one, those background noises were very chilling!
ty!! The composer is really incredible!
Thank you! I usually use a combination of sample rate and reverb to completely destroy sounds and make them spooky if you want a bit of an explanation how i did it.
