I really enjoyed the new version of this game! The decision to outline the player character in white is a brilliant touch that makes it stand out more. The redesigned map is more detailed, enhancing the overall experience. The music remains the same, yet it continues to be fantastic, adding to the game's ambiance. The addition of university course progressions introduces a cool new element of gameplay that I find very engaging.
Encountering a criminal in the game was an unexpected and thrilling twist! However, I did encounter an issue with the text size on GNU/Linux; it appears larger and overflows from the designated text boxes. Making a wrong decision led to an intriguing outcome where my character ended up at 54, having spent too much time working at a fast-food restaurant.
For me, this second version is significantly improved, more expansive, and more comprehensive. In my opinion, it would have been a strong contender to win the GoedWare Game Jam!
