How does the game fit the theme?
You hire a crew to run a factory. Any hire MIGHT be a killer. They hunt in the dark. You watch how they act, then retire the ones you cannot trust. The title is the rule: trust, but verify.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Fonts: Outfit, Instrument Serif. Sounds: 8 asthma inhaler (btherad2000, Freesound 328033), famished stomach sounds (underaspell, Freesound 691594), knife demo (olivia_parker, Pixabay 309903), hit flesh 02 (u_xjrmmgxfru, Pixabay 266309). Art and code are ours.

Oh this was very innovative, did not expect to be able to make my little crew speak with my own voice! On the topic of the theme, I say pretty well done. Enjoyed this too much, good job!

Very polished for game jam. Great touch to implement audio cues and the art style is also very clean and distinct. Very well done!

Gameplay is really clean including UI and art visuals! The randomized hires makes it interesting and fun too especially the option to customize and record their sounds as well though the record timing seems a bit off but not too much of an enough. Great use of the theme while also implementing survival mechanics which gives the player more of a challenge in a fun way. Also nice to see there are more levels or content to unlock which makes the game not feel too short. Amazing work!

This is insane that you made this within the week! One of the best games I've seen so far.

Really love this take on the theme! A ton of content and definitely scary hearing the recorded sounds play back :)

Submitted

We were blown away by the presentation. Really like the concept and how it fits to the theme. Will definitely be coming back to this on our own time.

Good work on this! I liked that you could record your voice for the animations it was fun! Crazy to see what can come together with a team of 2 in just 7 days!

Cool game guys! Love the characters and that you added voice recording for characters, more games should explore that option. Yabbadub studio tells me that you guys are experienced in this audio recording stuff. Keep up the good work!

Here is one idea I would personally test to see if it improves the game: Think if the WASD & E controls are necessary for this game. The game might work with only mouse, point and click style. It is kinda idle / watch workers style game, so is it necessary for player to start the level slowly moving to intractable and holding button? I you want to keep the wasd movement, you could try tap E for interaction instead of hold E, then show the duration of action on animation or UI. You have many levels there which is good thing, but if the levels start sluggishly players might drop, that’s why I would explore these options.

That's actually REALLY valuable feedback, we're taking this into account for the extended release of this game. Thanks so much dude!

It's awesome that you can record your own sound effects, but the volume seems a bit low. Is that just me?

Submitted

I loved the idea and gameplay. Its simple but you play a critic role on a murder mystery. loved the art and animations. Great job!

Submitted

Wow, those graphics in true south park style are amazing! What surprised me most, apart from that, was how many levels it had. was it seriously made by just two people in so little time? Honestly, fantastic work, guys!

Submitted

Artstyle is amazing, so stylish! SFX also good! It's strong project
The characters are great! Well done!

This game is interesting, because it combines murder mystery with work management. I enjoyed this game, and the art style is fun

I also love that you can make own sound to NPC

Submitted

A very polished and comprehensive game; the theme is perfectly integrated—what an achievement! It might be a bit long to finish within the scope of a game jam, but I’ll likely play it again later.

Submitted

Seize the means of production

The art style really suited the game. It was very fun just watching the workers do the job while i stand at the light. animations are great. Fun game - 10/10

Submitted

Awesome visuals and sound design, didn't have enough time to get through any other levels but I had fun from the start! Great work.
