Really neat game! I was able to win after a few confused attempts by just spamming the green button without a care and won twice in a row? There may be a few more helpful scenarios than hurtful. It was really interesting and your team took an approach that I had never considered. The countdown going faster really broke my ability to make calm decisions lol.

Fun game! I love all the scenarios

Is there a way to win? I just spammed the green button for like two minutes and neither won nor lost lol

I like how the tension mechanic works! When the clock ticks faster, I can really feel the tension rising. It also makes my experience very stressful.

Distressing, in a positive way. Really fun little game! Video games as a vehicle to understand politics and propaganda is something I consider often. :)

I love your inspirations ^^

I won, but at what cost? Great game! Love the amount of scenarios there were how simplistic you made them. Very easy to understand right away and try to make a snap decision. Loved it!

Developer

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm very happy to hear that it was easy to understand what to do!

Amazing! It reminds quite a lot of "Papers Please", and it was for sure fun re-playing the game after I failed the first time, as I knew the outcome of certain actions (so I could choose better), but certain actions were still a mystery to me, so I still had to choose carefully! Overall, super well done!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! That means a lot! <3
