Fun little game.  A bit heavy on the RNG and kind of hard, but I really enjoyed it. Really good presentation/polish

Submitted

I really enjoyed the game, I wish there were more things to do, it has a kind of "No, I'm not a human" vibe which I really liked.

Keep this project going! ;P

Submitted

Excellent game! I want to play the full version!

Submitted

Really amazing game, I loved the customer feedback and to pet the dear little cat.

Submitted

Really good entry, I played it longer as expected. It was totally worth the time! Its impressive that you did this all in just three days, very well done!

Submitted

Very well done. I pet the cat. 

Submitted

Maybe my favourite submission in the jam! Really cool atmosphere, and a neat way to create different decision-making scenarios. I escaped the zone.

Submitted

I really enjoyed that. Great job. Nice gameplay, interesting decisions. Made me want to play more.

Submitted

Played it to the end. The atmosphere was great! The dilemma to save your own life or someone elses was soul crushing. Love all the details in the environment. Dark but wonderful game!

Submitted

Does the cat become more radioactive if I pet it?

I really love the kind of apocalyptic feeling of this game. The radio made it even better!
Awesome work

Submitted

Suddenly killed myself. Shame...

Good concept, nice work!

Should've given antibiotics for the dying daugther ;). Thanks for playing mate!

Submitted

I had none! Used them on myself to kill myself next day. What a loser ;)

Submitted

Oh no way papers please type game in this economy?!
Alright GG, The game is good actualy. И боже, они действительно матерятся? XD
This might be the best game of the jam tho

Submitted

nice concept!

Submitted

Cool idea and very nice visuals. I kind of wish that the two NPCs who ask for free stuff had a bit more relevance. It didn't seem to make a difference when I gave them free stuff, and when was surprised that the person asking for antibiotics never came back after saying I'd regret it. Everything about the feel is perfect though. Great job!

Developer

Hello, thanks for playing the game!

Appreciate your opinion, just wanted to say that they do have relevance but due to the small scope of the game, it may come unnoticed in some runs (the game has 5 endings). :)

Submitted

Good game but the npcs will be showing up in my nightmares :']

Escaped with mild radiation sickness (86%). Can't wait to live with the top 1% with my collection of 21 caps

Very fun game! I also managed give the free iodine and antibiotics

Submitted

enjoyable experience, there were some flaws, like too slow pacing for this kind of activity i feel like, its just doesnt have as much variety as lets say papers please obviously, so faster pacing could help. I played it 2 times, 1 run just casual escaped zone, 2nd run still the same ending tho i gave both iodine for free and antibiotics.
Some small issues are i feel like the game is too bright, at the start i was a bit overwhelmed with the tutorial dialogue, mouse movement and character movement i think could be better if they had some smoothing.
Overall great game, if u can expand on the gameplay mechanic more than just deciding to sell or not to sell, this could become a very good game.

Submitted

Wild vibes, well done! Feels like the game Misery also. 

Submitted

Awesome game! I ended up getting to like 160% radiation because I gave the antibiotics to a guys daughter lol. Awesome dialogue, really captures what it takes to make you "feel", in a way hardly any games do. Great job!

Submitted

Ах ты русский засранец!))) Suka. I saw your in dev posts about the game on discord and then I got interested. The game is fun to play because it always creates challenging situations where you have to think, for example, about whether to sell iodine at such a low price or wait until you get more? The radiation mechanics are very interesting because they also force you to consider whether to sell iodine or antibiotics or keep them. The atmosphere is cool. The Russian song in the background adds to the atmosphere.

I honestly don't understand why I couldn't take iodine one time. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place?

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the kind words :D

You couldn't take iodine because the radiation level was beyond 100%, at which you have to take antibiotics first.

Im not Russian by the way, the song is gibberish haha
