All around 5 star. This game was INCREDIBLE. So enjoyable. The art is gorgeous. I love the charcoal sketch kind of vibe to it. I LOVE these kinds of games where you have to observe the discrepancies. Amazing voice acting in the beginning too <3

The game fits the jam's theme really well while still being simple. Reminds me of Papers, Please! The art style is unforgettable, props to the artist/s!

You fit the theme well! Obviously derivative of Paper's Please, but this is a great setting adjustment. I'm impressed by all the writing and consistent art style. Good Game.

Developer

Played the game through and I wasn't disappointed! The worldbuilding from the NPC dialogue and other set pieces is great and the cross-referencing part is pretty challenging too.

The artstyle, sound design and voice acting are absolutely superb too (props to the artist).

Great stuff!

Yay web build!

Exceptional art, really stands out and carries the whole vibe. Was continually surprised at how many new character designs kept showing up! What an effort from the artist. Love to hear some voice acting in jam games too - not the best mic/recording setup, but it was well performed and added to the overall package. Could possibly be cleaned up a little more in post without needing to makeshift a recording booth, but perfectly jam acceptable as is.

The gameplay was okay, very papers noir, it did feel a little overshadowed by the art, audio, and narrative though. Would've been nice to have a little progression/more things and complications to check as the days went on. It definitely wasn't bad in any way, and having the presentation take priority over gameplay isn't necessarily a mistake, but I was expecting it to ramp up at least a little like most papers please-likes.

I enjoyed the little extras on the desk, having a cigar and using the record player, really helped sell the mood. Talking of the record player, the music was great, I'm glad I figured out how to play it and change the track!

Excellent entry, great work by the whole team and thank you for the extra effort getting a web build out!

Developer

Thank you so much for this amazing insight! We dabbled into the possibilities of a progressive difficulty but we just found the time left to be constraining for it to happen, we're glad you enjoyed nevertheless!

Wow, the game is visually stunning!

Really loved the voice acting, felt professional and the overall vibe of the game is really good and obviously fits the theme perfectly.

Great job :D

Good visuals, smoked a cigar, lost few fingers and boss died.

Developer

Thank you so much! Happens to the best of us.

The atmosphere and the visuals are amazing! The gameplay loop can feel a bit repetitive, but I think it works well for small game. The interactions to light a cigar and play a record are nice touches and fit the vibe really well. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your thoughts! Love your game, planning to download the art book, we're glad you enjoyed!

Was not expecting the voice acting! very good, PLEASE make a web build!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed our game!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed it a lot. Reminds me of Papers, Please. I think the only thing I'd change is to add a few other variables or things that we have to check about each person, as the core loop can get a little repetitive. But I really liked the narrative and level of care and detail in each character, awesome work there

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback and thoughts! This will be noted

This was such a blast! The art is GORGEOUS. I really loved lighting a cigar between visitors, such a great touch. I managed to not get my fingers cut off, but wow that is so metal and kept me sweatin' over those papers.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! It is def an achievement that your fingers are safe considering how difficult the game can be xd, we're glad you enjoyed the game!

This is so sick, the vibe is on point, I also thought the record player where you can pick your music was a really cool touch

Took a couple of attempts cause I let some assassins through but I managed to make it through the 3 days :)

Thank you so much for your thoughts on the game! Glad you enjoyed it!
