Thank you so much for the detailed feedback!
We were actually not familiar with the game "Perception" until we had a friend of ours playtest our game and he mentioned it. It is since been added to my Steam library and the top of my "To Play" list for sure.
And yes, I agree. The stakes are quite low. And those are great suggestions! We have been toying around if we want to do anything with the game after the jam, so those suggestions are a great starting point to making the player's actions feel more meaningful.
Thanks again!
