You did NOT just make a mission impossible ticking time bomb scene in visual novel form, that's wild... good job

Also, chefs kiss. Funniest choice in the whole game lmao

I'll be honest, I am not a huge fan of visual novels. I understand the appeal though. Nevertheless, I did love the mechanic of having the game flow like a messaging app. Our brains are so used to Discord/Slack UX now that it just felt intuitive to play through. The fact that the texting style was relatable too and in short messages made it so nice to progress. I guess I'm in the target demographic haha

The game was surprisingly fun! Each character was nicely defined and the story itself was easy to understand. Everything flowed nicely from the first day to the last.

Like the other commenters, I didn't piece together the relation to the theme until I read the game's description. I felt I locked myself into a specific ending by my first choice (which I had mistakenly picked), and then I was locked into the super authoritarian (or I guess neutral) route. I assume there's three routes (neutral, all good, all bad), but I didn't try to get all of them.

Great job on the game and incredibly impressive to be pulled off by one person.

I played til the end. This sh*t is relatable af :)) Every, single, time :))

Welp, really enjoyed most aspect of the game, though its take on the theme is questionable. I guess its "the boss fighting for her own life" lol. Anyways, great work. For 7 days, really impressive!

This is a pretty cool take on the theme! While I can't really give points for fun, everything else is fair game! I love the story, an amazing subversion of the typical "useless group members dragging you down" trope! Connecting with all the characters on a personal level like a real friend and being a big mean boss both provided very nice perspectives on the same situation. For once I actually managed to get ALL the endings in a game like this, and it was very worth it! Its incredible how something like this can only be made within 7 days!
