I'm super glad you enjoyed the game! Your comment alone made the sleepless nights worth it! Like I've said in comments below I'm going to fix the difficulty after the jam so the story can be fully enjoyed. Not sure how far you got but trust me it gets wild. I thought about having a ticket come up like in papers please letting you know what was wrong but in all honesty I couldn't figure out how to get it to work in time. I should have made like a sound effect go off to at least let the player know they got it wrong but I didn't think about that till it was to late.

It defintiely gets easier the more you play it, I like how it retains the "ok this person is obviously naughty" aspect of Papers Please too, like when there's 3 F's you just instantly file them as Naughty. I got to day 3 the first time and was able to get up to day 14 just now, going to need to take at least one more crack at it to finish out the storyline, the story definitely stays metal throughout, very cool
