Absolutely love the graphics, sound and setting. Definitely has a Papers Please vibe in the best possible way. The gameplay of having to make words from the tapes is quite clever, though the second level doesn't make it obvious enough (for me) what to do when you have two letters per tape. I had to look at the comment below for it to make sense. Sometimes it can be surprisingly hard to make a word. A subtle hint, such as wording in the text, could help with that.

There's a bug on I think the second puzzle on Nov 30 - It's possible to make the correct word with an alternate arrangement of tapes but it doesn't count. If this isn't a bug it's not clear to me why this is invalid. One other thing I'd suggest is that dragging a tape over another should swap their places. It would save a few wasted moves of dragging them around to swap them.

Finally, I absolutely love that you can choose positive or negative messages to influence the election. Even in the tutorial you can go against the words it tells you to use. Brilliant.

Overall I'm extremely impressed by this game. Certainly one of the best games of this jam. This could definitely go on to become the next Papers Please-esque hit

Thanks for the long comment. We're glad you liked both the aesthetics and mechanics of the game. We want to keep the game as mechanical as possible, and that's why we decided to leave the cartridge switching in that way.

Other players are commenting about the words, so we're are improving its design. It is good to know that the game has a Papers, Please atmosphere because that game inspired a couple of things while we were throwing ideas.

We wanted to give players freedom about which path to take, so it is good to know you think it was a brilliant decision.
