I loved this! Definitely caught on pretty early on, but loved the sense of tension. Really well done!
Thanks for playing and commenting!
By far my favorite game I played during this jam. Extremely topical. I could tell where it was going but it was still unexpectedly impactful. I love how the music rises near the end. Brilliant submission!
Thanks for the wonderful comment! Really glad you enjoyed the game, and that the topical nature of the content came across.
I have no words. This is now my favourite game of the jam :P
The visuals were just absolutely stunning. Especially when the words started floating around my cursor. Marvelous!Anyways for mild mild issues i found, you misspelled confidence :> and also two images were missing for some reason. But anyways this was an amazing game! Can't believe it was inspired by true stories.
Also the floating text did kinda get in the way with clicking the buttons :P
Wow thanks so much for your great comment! Really glad you enjoyed it.
Well spotted on the sp, just fixed it now. And yeah, the floating text was a bug, but I felt it kind of went with the hesitance of the character (you) as you get to that point so I left it in for now. :)
Nice. But I choose not to vote , and nothing happened until I had to choose yes, because the game did not progress for the 5 minutes I waited and my partner wanted to see the ending... You probably should have just taken me out.
Haha, you're right. I should add that in a future update!
And hats off to you for not giving in! Maybe you found some of the other hidden options by waiting out the timer in other parts of the game?
Thanks for playing!
Wow! What a chilling, tense and daunting story! I could see different players tacking this game differently.
I, for one, wanted to resist but I also tried to keep my family safe so the "family in danger" text really shook me, and I caved lol. Also, the limiting of choices later on adds to the weight of the story.
A really perfect and excellent interpretation of the theme and well executed!
Glad it had a strong effect, and that the text effects worked! Always hard to know if they'll land, especially on text only.
Thanks so much for playing!
Normally im not a fan of games like this but this one had me hooked with clicking text. Very innovative!
Would you mind rating my game? /jam/brackeys-13/rate/3338809
For a politics topic game, very good, even if i don't love this type of games. But fun for a small game.
