How does the game fit the theme?
The game is set in a Gang War between La Casa and Bela Falco, you are required to supervise the people that will visit The Don
Every visitors are randomized to be either an Assassin or Innocent, trust no one.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Music and Sound effects from Soundbay
How many people worked on the game?3
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!
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
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!
Was not expecting the voice acting! very good, PLEASE make a web build!
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
I loved the art and the UI design!
I didn't like the long monolog at the start, but that's just a personal preference.
Overall it's a fun twist on papers please!

really good game , loved the voice acting and the art , and the music was great made the vibe much better
I like it! It's a lot like Papers, Please. I love the vibe and the little cigar/cigarette lighting. I definitely let a few assassins in haha.
I did find the opening intro to be a little too long
Lovely artstyle and AMAZING atmosphere!! The entire Gang War story was SO nerve-wracking! Amazing Stuff!!
Although i will have to admit, the game IS a bit tricky at times (or maybe I'm just bad at noticing stuff), but sometimes it'd almost feel random to get killed off even when following the rules, so some clarity would've been good.
All in all, y'all nailed this stuff!!
Cool game with amazing art. Was fairly difficult but really enjoyable.
Beautiful artstyle and very good voice acting! Also pretty hard game (atleast for me), I really sucked at noticing the mistakes and was terrified of every person I approved.
One thing I noticed is that my mouse hover and clicks didn't register at times.
LOVED the art. It's hard to get both the scope and the presentability right when it comes to making art for games made in such short time. Loved the VA as well. The atmosphere was set JUST right, I was terrified of getting my fingers cut off at every desicion and idk about the others but the no music thing really made the entire thing nervewracking. Also, turns out I suck at noticing mistakes lmao. Loved this!
The art in this is soo good, and the VA did a great job too!
On the other comment there was a complaint about the lack of music, and although i also didn't get the optional music, I found that the menu vinil was enough, the music is good, just maybe a bit too happy compared to the lore.
I played three runs (apparently I'm really bad at spotting mistakes, let two assassins in) but got a little confused on the third one, I got the ending with a photo on the wall (did someone die? why? is this one ending or did I lose?)
Overall, really great work! Loved the characters and the gameplay was well explained.
Thank you so much for the feedback! The picture of the player in the wall indicates that he was promoted and is now a part of the La Casa family, I do understand the confusion on that though,
The music feedback I understand too! We had difficulties in terms of music cause our music artist for White Ash didn't had experience with Jazz music so we improvised with ones online, thank you so much for playing!
