- This is a stunning visual novel with a really well written story. The narrative is enticing and the characters feel very real. I like the way you've implemented the theme through a machine made to kill/destroy. That works really well, and the player-character's existence as a "weapon" comes out through interesting dialogue. The art and sound both serve the story well, and I can see this being built out into a much longer game. This very much feels like a first chapter in a longer story. That said, I think there need to be more choices for this to really feel like a playable game, rather than just a novel. I think building out a longer narrative, with more choices that result in a greater variety of endings would be great. I'm already engaged in the story, but I want to know more. I also want to feel like I have more influence on the story, as a player. Right now, it feels like there's very little consequence for the choices that I make (even with the ending where the player is going to return to the warehouse, it doesn't really feel like it's much of a consequence for the player-character since the game ends there).

Yes
Summarise your game!
War Bond is a point-and-click visual novel, where you play as an android in a post-war scenario. You will pick the parts to repair yourself with the help of a blacksmith, unfolding the story as she narrates it to you.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Rather than being a weapon as known to us (i.e. guns, swords, and the like) the theme is interpreted as you being, or having been, a literal weapon in the shape of a robot/android.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
The art and music ;^)
