Like the concept a lot. The art and music are so nice and reminds me of 50s or so cartoony art. The 1.0 web version is kinda unplayable but the executable is much better. The gameplay reminds me of that Reigns game on mobile which has a similar concept of managing your resources through decision making cards. Although there seemed to still be some bugs in the 2.2 version. in the doki doki reaction event i couldnt take the +1 star option despite not being greyed out. Also pressing the middle option (which was empty) during it changed it to a different doki doki reaction event with different choices? The option on its right was also similarly not choosable. I had negative triangles and stars during it. I also got to a point where i got negative triangles that caused me to get a loop of many repeat sentry event that eventually caused me to lose. If the bugs concerning how the cards are chosen are fixed along with more fine tuning on the resources gained from each event then this would definitely be a solid game.

Heya, composer here, the music was made in the image of the early-mid 1900s, so glad to see I got the desired effect-
Going about emulating that vintage, staticky and worn-down audio was tricky at first, but thankfully sound effects saved the day- it was achieved by grabbing a rotary sfx, applying it on the grand piano lead melody, and applying stereo delay when needed.
