This is easily the top submission of the jam. I played long enough to treat the first patient. I don't know if it was done intentionally, but the player could use a bit more direction. It took me a bit to realize that I could click on the Green Scaled Lizard. I did read that there would be hyperlinks, but maybe an example of the game's version of the hyperlink could have helped. I am coming back to play this when I am on my desktop with a larger resolution. Itch's overlay got in my way when I was playing. 

5/5

Thanks for the feedback. I would be interested to see what you think after a proper playthrough. We had enough time to add 13 patients total.

I will think about what else could be done re: the hyperlinks. As you say, the AI helper does mention them but they do not look like normal links we are used to (we tried that but the normal blue color clashed with the interface/text blue). I'm also considering whether the data files should be unlocked automatically and just use the link as a quick access - right now the link is necessary to unlock it - this would give the new player two ways of finding the relevant files.

I think when the AI mentions the links, you could have part of the sentence look like a link. Alternatively you could have the AI use an arbitrary example in the text box that they talk about links. Definitely will play it tomorrow and let you know what I think.

Thats a few good ideas. I will look into which looks better. I like option 1 better.
