The text in bulk describing the different personalities in the Characters tab could have been better formatted. In-game, I couldn’t completely tell what was happening! Eventually, I just ended up managing to shoot people down, and that’s what I focused on! Eventually, that did feel pretty immersive! Thanks for the entry.

I liked the paper art, but the game was a bit confusing honestly

Original concept. I would have liked to have more time between switching sides.

Also the panning left and right seemed a bit glitchy - made me think my mouse was becoming defective.

I liked the art too.

This was interesting I wasn't expecting this. The hand drawn art was great. Your use of long bios and switching between characters/giving them voices helps to humanise the people on both sides. Congrats.

Thanks for the feedback, our team is delighted that you enjoyed the split narrative/humanizing effect of the game.
