This was really clever! I did have a bit of a hard time reading the UI since the fullscreen option seemed to be disabled but it was still really interesting to try different rumors and see how people reacted!

Developer

Thanks! That's strange, mine appears in full screen in another window but I can't test it on other screens

I really liked the concept and the way you used the theme was unique and interesting! I loved the descriptions of the characters, my biggest issue was just trying to understand the feedback from my actions. The bars scaling from red to green could use labels and the result of actions in general could be clearer, but I also had a great time trying to interpret the subtle feedback so its definitely a balancing act. Overall super interesting, probably the most immersive entry I've tried!

Developer

Thanks! Yes, I realized the bar was confusing when playtesting. I thought I would have time to rework that and, well, I did not have time.

:D oooh this is really cool, I think I got a pretty good grasp on how to play, going to add it to my collection and play it later, from what I saw of it, pretty neat, great use of the assets, very clean design :)

Thank you very much!

The game has quite the look and I liked the humor in the rumors. Good job! I did not totally grasp the full gameplay in my first playthrough, that said I'm not much used to that genre.

Developer

Thanks! I wanted to create a more developed tutorial, but I lacked the time. I feel that understanding how the character will react to make  the best strategy is actually part of the gameplay, so I wasn't even sure how much I should have explained. For sure, I think the UI should have been much more comprehensible, but that's not bad considering the time I had.

I love the creative approach you had to the jam, really cool stuff, I think this has potential for a full game project that would be crazily enjoyable :)

Developer

Thanks! Actually, I don't really know how to make the gameplay loop rich enough to stay interesting for the few hours it would need to be a full game but I really appreciate it!
