Thank you for playing!
The Jam version is a fair bit unpolished because we ran into some circumstances out of our control with about two days to go which forced us to switch engines to make sure a game even got out. We're very thankful the organizers allowed us the time extension in that sense. 😅 The original idea of the game would have played a lot differently; I hope we can get back there at some point.
I'm glad you enjoyed what we did have on offer for Cold Open; as the lead writer, I wanted to ensure a lot of different stories were being told which may not otherwise get shine. As director, I also wanted to try some things to add to the experience (such as the VA) and everyone did an excellent job. It sounds like you fell in love with a bunch of characters, which I appreciate!
As for your inquiry regarding M... That's a bit of a mystery which is will be left up in the air for now.
Thanks again!
