Was really excited when I saw this, I'm a big papers please fan. I agree it was tough to know if I was supposed to be following all the rules that had ever been displayed or only the ones that were on the screen. In Papers Please you get feedback right away that you messed up a check. I think here it would help reinforce what you are supposed to be doing. Are you planning on tweaking after the jam at all? I'd be interested where you take it next.

Hi! In my concept the feedback would have been given by the phone on the right, a call would warn the player about mistakes but I couldn't get to it on time for the jam!
I might expand on the concept, since I'm in an iceberg situation, the game is bigger than what is shown right now. It has a system with agencies, agents, government figures, and government operations that would be partially generated and progress during each day; also there are different rooms, there's an archive for example (and other stuff), but I had to scrap much of it because of time constraints and bugs, so I polished as much as I could the room that's playable right now. I overscoped again a bit, who would have thought... :)
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
