The worldbuilding is great in this one - loved the contrast between the common and the affluent areas, the hoverbike, how hazardous Martian sand is, and the nefarious forces at play. The main character is believable and complex, and it was interesting to follow her investigation.

Thanks so much!

I enjoyed this experience; investigation stories are always intriguing and keep you hooked, and this one was no exception, with nice and immersive writing. As a bit of constructive feedback, I could suggest adding more variables to check if certain events have already happened, since on several occasions you end up in loops that take you back to the same scene. This breaks the flow and shatters the 'invisible box' that a video game or interactive fiction is in this case. Beyond that, I really enjoyed the experience and had a fun time solving this case—just another day in the life of Bailey.

Thanks so much for playing, and I'm grateful for the high praise! The two regions that allow players to circle are definitely priorities to patch after the jam. Agreed on all counts

Incredible and thorough storytelling. The world feels real and lived in. We liked the proggression of the story! 
Just a tiny note: the player can loop the "grab a snack" option when at the Office and fully refill his resilience points. 

Great job overall!

Developer

Yeah. I wanted to make the options disappear in both the office and councilwoman's home, but just ran out of time to figure it out and implement. Fixing it after the jam , and coming up with some kind of cover image is top of the priority list. Good call out, though! Really glad you enjoyed it!
