How does the game fit the theme?
In our game, you have to sort the emails using rules given from various sources.
Each level comes with a set of rules. You can find them in a neat rulebook, though it deteriorates from time to time, giving you false information.
While playing and sorting you get specific rule emails that have you choose another rule to follow. Neither those can always be trusted and need to be evaluated carefully.
The premise is simple, trust no one. Be it the mails' contents, the people writing those mails or even the game ui itself. You need correctly choose who and who not to trust.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All art, music, sfx and code was made by our team during the jam.

goog game
Thank you!
a really cool way to use the theme, this was fun :) sometimes i had trouble reading the text, but enjoyed nonetheless!
Thank for playing our game and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! We'll looking into the not being able to read text bug! :>
I have to say I had quite a lot trouble with identifying good emails, it wasnt as easy as I tought lol. Unique take anomaly games genre too. However game gets pretty repetetive the longer it goes since there is not much variety between the days. Oh and btw maybe its only me but attention check minigame with only 3 green things was quite often saying failure when I did it right. Art is great and I love john email. (CRT shader is very nice too!). GG
Glad to that hear you mostly enjoyed the game! As for the verification minigame, sometimes you might see a small ! in front of the instruction, whatever that might mean...
Great to hear that you liked it! I think the boundary for the spinny verification emails can sometimes be a weird, but glad to hear that you enjoyed it! (Or at least the first few days of it) Johnathan Mail is amazing :>
I actually reached day 10, forgor to mention
Very interesting! I like that it didn't shy on adding more features in the game! I like how it's not just looking for a certain rule but we also make that rule, do some verification stuff, and more. Good job on the dozen, damn!
Thank you! I do feel like we might have overscoped a little but that was probably a planning mistake on our part. Thank you for playing our game!
The visuals are great, especially liked the icons. However the gameplay itself is pretty repetitive -> read -> sort -> verification minigame. From time to time new rules get introduced but some of them didn't really change the gameplay for some reason? The music and sound fit the game well.
Well done!
Thank you! We did try and find some ways to spice up the game a little but I do understand that it was probably a little repetitive. Nonetheless, thank you for playing and rating our game!
Interesting game. I like the visuals.
Thank you for the feedback and for playing our game!
Nice game guys, like the vibes a lot!
Thank you!
