I really really like the furnace and archive sprites. Great work there!
I personally had a hard time understanding what I was supposed to do because when I thought I burn the documents I was supposed to, some dialog pop up confused me by saying "that's getting out of my paycheck". Did I fuck up? I don't know. It may be a language barrier (English is not my first language) or just not used to text heavy games.
So some of the rules and documents are a bit ambiguous to instill some moral choices (and to pay attention to clues distilled through details in the documents and story, but as someone who ironically rarely plays text-heavy games too, I totally get it if people don’t understand. It’s a hard thing to balance).
Also there are a few different paths and endings in the game. And for some, you actually have to make a “mistake” which will get you the dialog pop-up (and salary fine at the end of the day in the recap).`
Btw I’m not a native either, I’m French, which is why the game is written in some sort of conlang, English with some words replaced by their French counterpart when very close to the English word. Maybe the title should be “Fournaise in the Archive” or something 🤔
