This kind of game is right up my alley! I loved the writing and the premise, though I do think the formatting makes it slightly harder to read text with more than one character, and the aesthetic is oddly nostalgic (big Fallout vibe). I would happily pay to have this as a full game, especially as the core gameplay loop is very addictive. There's also a shocking amount of events, especially for a jam game, though it does get a little repetitive after year 20ish. I think the actual shipbuilding could use some more restrictions for balance purposes, and there's one or two events I would also consider rebalancing (the distress signal one where you can choose whether or not to bring on more passengers ended literally all of my runs. though I suppose that might also be appropriate punishment for being immoral), but all around this is an amazing game! The whole team should feel proud of themselves (:
