Dear evil diary,

I have successfully infiltrated the STUPID order of flames. Ptew ptew, even saying their name brings disgust to my lips... Anyways they appointment as their meeting guard! I get to let in as many glorious order of fire members as I want!

They kept sending me letters about letting in the wrong members but I just ignored them. What're they gonna do about it?

With this we can sabotage the stupid... other order and we will rule this planet with ease! Muahahahahahahaha.

Side note: Make sure to take my robes for a thorough cleaning, pretending to rub shoulders with these wanna-be cult members makes me stink!

*** So yeah anyways about the game. It's a fantastic and really fun twist on the Papers Please mechanic. It's executed really well and doesn't stray far from the formula.

The art is simple but well communicated however the text was pretty small/difficult to read at times which is concerning for a game that has a lot of reading/focus on documents. It didn't stop me playing i just had to really get close to my monitor sometimes to double check I was reading it correctly.

As you can probably tell from my entry above and the screenshot I wanted to see what would happen if I just let everyone in. Suffice to say, you lose because the other cult takes over the world instead.

The mechanic of using your cult members as a resource after letting them in is a stroke of genius and I thought was really smart.

Oh also the SFX of them falling through the trap door when you deny them is hilarious.

Thanks for the review, you made me laugh a few times lol. That's a great point about the text, It's such an essential part of the game that it needs to be readable or the game will be impossible - that's something I'll fix as soon as I get the chance! Glad you liked the SFX of them falling, I added that right before submitting (beforehand they would just walk away) and I still cackle every time I hit the trapdoor.


I'm going to add more days and mechanics, the original plan was to add invisible ink and cracking coded messages, taking passwords through dialogue, etc. I didn't have enough time to do it for the jam but I'll keep working on it!

Awesome, looking forward to it :D
