I simply can’t elaborate how much I love this story. Speechless. Instantly become my one of favorites. If I could, I would give it 66 stars.

- A very timely and powerful entry with the political story (that I loved). Although you mistook the theming slightly, I still think you managed to incorporate it very well into the story by showing how Miran's actions killed him (morally, mentally, and physically) and those around him that he held dear (i.e. Cassandra & his country).
- I love how the developer drew inspiration from our country’s political situation at the time to write this story. The writing is great, but I do wish there were more story variations based on player choices, as well as a more fleshed-out ending. Even though the backgrounds are filtered photos, they’re well chosen and the filters match the game’s overall vibe. I also really like the customized UI, the graphics made for the political posters, and the camera movement in certain scenes, which adds a nice layer of visual variety.
How does this project relate to the jam theme? (Judge Question)
My submission interprets the theme "killing me softly" not through Miran's physical death, but through the gradual erosion of his moral compass. His job forces him to slowly chip away at his morality, he was just following orders, until before long he can no longer deny that he's part of the machine that kills innocents. Thats what kills him slowly/softly. (Mistook softly as slowly, but theyre somewhat close yes?)
