Loved the premise and monochromatic display. Reminds me of Lucas Pope, like a mix of Papers Please and Obra Dinn! Great use of a console I didn't even know about.

Thanks! Obra Dinn...that's high praise.  I hope after a few more art revisions we might deserve the comparison.

How hard was it to get the game running as someone who didn't already have a PlayDate/emulator, if you don't mind me asking?

I definitely had to go out of my way to figure it out from the submission page and there were some steps that I'm not sure most people could figure out. Biggest "hurdle" was having to create an account on the website but after that, i just had to find the import button to use the JSON from the game. There's an on-screen controller which I had to use my mouse for, like clicking A and B and arrows with my cursor, but for a game like this it's not really a problem. Overall not too hard for me but some people might not like it.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the finicky controller.  You can click to get focus and use arrows+a+s instead of mouse, but you can't click the mock game screen to get focus (the most natural place to click) because that's used for pausing emulation and pauses the game till you click again.
