This game is really cool! The level of polish in the music and visuals is honestly jaw-dropping, it's difficult to even consider it a game jam project... The worldbuilding is compelling, too, with its own unique flavour of Norse Starship Troopers-esque Forever War fascism. The Solar Edda chapters between scenes were a particular highlight.

I think where this game kinda fell through for me was mostly the character writing. While the prose was of a high quality, consistent with the other Nth Circle titles I've played, none of the cast really left much of an impression on me, which is a bit of a misstep for a narrative adventure game like this. In particular, the main character is strangely absent from the fabric of the game in a lot of ways—the decisions you make for them don't really seem to affect their personality or the trajectory of the game's narrative very much, and while there's setup for interesting drama from the backstory, it doesn't really manifest itself outside of a couple of quirks and lines of internal narration. It's a bit of a shame, because the protagonist in Model Employee felt like a really good player-insert character who you could naturally relate to and feel empathy for, in how their agency had been taken from them. And Morgan from Of the Devil is one of the better protagonists in any narrative adventure game I've ever played.

Man, though. That doctor's cool as hell. He gets a lot of screen time for a non-romanceable character, and has probably the greatest amount of importance in the story—which is good news because he's easily the most compelling character in the game. The layers of sardonic bitterness hidden beneath his good-natured persona, the drips and drops of thematically resonant trauma from his backstory... Awesome stuff. 

Anyway, I saw one bad end and one good end, which I think must be the true ending? I feel pretty satisfied with my one playthrough but I might go back and try and date the really tall strong girl if the mood takes me. Congrats on making such an interesting game, devs!

I've finished this game multiple times now, I've done the Sinner route and the Pulp Writer route and wow!! I love it so much! Kudos to the devs, this game makes me so happy

Also if anyone has any advice on how to get with the butch biker, I'd love to hear it... I want to kiss all the girls...

I followed your suggestion and did some googling, and it turns out typing --no-sandbox into Launch Options makes it work with seemingly no issues through Steam! Thank you!!

Hi hi, this game looks awesome and I can't wait to play it. However, I've been having issues getting the linux version to play on steam (though it works fine when you just launch it from the file directory) and I was wondering if you have any advice for any launch options that'd get it to work? If not, I'll just wait until I have access to my desktop again to play it. Thank you!
