as soon as it starts the presentation is amazing, both visual and musical choices are excellent from beginning to end. 

it was short but it made me wish for more.

Man, the presentation is on point. The background and the music is perfect, the font and design of the podcast goes great with them, and I love the little window into this world.  Honestly, it left me wanting more.

Maybe this is a bit biased coming from the guy who did a (according to some people) way too long forum hunt in his game, but I absolutely love these sort of epistolary elements in games, and this one was very well made.

Great title, would've loved it if it was a bit longer, but I am well aware of the pitfalls of game development. Still,  hopefully next tugajam (or maybe even ludum dare) you can really show us what you're made of.

I think the forum hunt was actually one of my favorite parts of Digital Exorcist.

Damn that presentation is good. Fun perspective on you making your own conclusions on this world with pretty much only being given an Infowars podcast of this world as material. I was a bit sad that it ended kind of abruptly as I'd have loved to see more of this world..maybe in another game then? Great shit either way.

Unexpected format that made me incredibly hype as soon as I fired it up. It's like taking a peek into a world that already exists without my involvement and I love when a game does that. Just drop me in the middle of shit. Great use of title cards; I'm always a mark for those.

very tight. i love the vibes and presentation, they're absolutely on point. the broadcast having so many parallels to modern day society and burying itself in a bunch of meaningless buzzwords and inhumane desensitization appeals to me a lot.

The psychedelic backdrops and music are a stand out.
