Game Description
You are a trainee at the Erase Department, where every decision you make determines the balance between the government and the public. Your job is to review posts on the social media platform "Twister" and decide which ones to delete and which to keep. But be careful: delete too much, and the people will revolt. Let the wrong information slip through, and the government will question your loyalty. Who will you become? A faceless cog in the system or the one who breaks it?
How does your game tie into the theme?
The game is about Erasing web posts

Interesting concept. I had a hard time, kept getting fired or starting a revolution.
yes, the game is not ez
Very nice game! I appreciated the info sheet at the end of the game. Would love to see this idea developed further, maybe with greater difficulty as the days progress. It could be interesting if there was a way to introduce moral ambiguity more clearly – whenever the people revolted against censorship, I thought “ok, good ending,” so I was a little sad that the only way to get the full game content was to be the best shill you could be. Nice work!
thank you for playing buddy) and for your advices too) very happy that you have seen the secret documents)
Cool game! Gave a sort of modern Papers Please vibe.
It could do with some more mechanics other then just approve/erase. I’d also like to see some ‘red herring’ sort of posts, where it starts one way then goes the other. I found that I could generally get the sense of what button to press within the first few words. Also some immediate feedback on the choice would be cool.
Even though I listed some things, its a solid, enjoyable game. I loved the vibe and theme. The atmosphere and music fit just right. Really well done.
Thank you for the reply) The game was bigger in my imagination, but for the jam I cut it a lot to the basic mechanics) I thought about "editing" the post, but i dont have time to make this. Big thanks for suggestions, it means a lot to me and further development)
very unique entry and absolutely on-theme!
thank you for playing! really appreciate your comment)
Very cool concept and aesthetic!
thanks for playin mate)
I also couldn't see the button, had to toggle fullscreen on to get it on screen, but after that everything worked as intended.
Like others already mentioned, a little hint how you are doing would be nice. Never knew what exactly to cencor and what not.
I still had my fun with the game, tinkering with different options. It helped a lot that you only had to restart the day you were on.
absolute hardcore😂😂😂 sry for that mate, this button makes me crazy) ruined all the game, but it is a great experience for me to move forward
Sign contract button also missing for me, on chrome--it's probably a resolution issue.
Even in the .exe download, the button is barely visible.
Otherwise, I like the game art and vibe
That button makes me crazy) today gonna fix it
Pretty dark! I'm obviously bad at this job, I get fired too often, and if not, I spark revolutions. I gave up on day three, I guess you really need to consider what you erase.
I think it would be nice if you could somehow see how you are doing so you have a hint on what kind of posts are less problematic than others
How could I sign the Contract? I clicked and typed everything without success. Could you please help me?
There is a button "Sign", which device do you use?
I tried Firefox and Chromium on Linux. I see no "Sign" button.
hit the same issue on Chrome
maybe smth with the browser, idk, hte button is still there, and other people are playing, sry for that)
I also have this problem :(
Very stylish! love the Noir vibe. Graphics and Audio really hit the mark.
I've managed both to get fired and to start a revolution :-D
One thing that might help the gameplay a little, would be to have some sort of indicator of how well you are doing during the day (sort of a health bar updating after each choice you make)
thank you for playing) I will think about this, thanks for the reply)
