super unique, I had a good time. this was a vibe. I had a nice espresso martini, that was a non-negroniatiable. song got a bit repetive over time, might be good to have it cut out for some of the dialogue maybe. It was really nice to have the notes to be able to reference them and not need to memorize a bagillion things.

Wow, I love the atmosphere and the interesting art style of the game which I've never seen before! The game really well to the theme, really cool plot twist too. I'm not really an expert at storylines, so I can't provide much feedback on that, but it was engaging for me. This is very good work for 7 days. I quite like how the objectives lead you to the end of the story on a path, I just wish I could talk to the characters even if they were not part of the objective.

Wild graphics, but I kind of liked them. The photos of the characters was a fun choice, too!

Cool execution and an interesting concept; the vibe reminded me a bit of "Disco Elysium".

Here’s what I felt was missing:
1. A long backstory with no option to skip it.
2. Interactive objects aren't highlighted visually, making it unclear what to do on the map intuitively.
3. The story is interesting, in my opinion, but the characters lacked motivation, it wasn't clear why they were there, other than just being added to the game for the sake of it.
4. If the characters had been as well-developed as the environment (which, by the way, has an amazing atmosphere, you really want to hang out and explore it), the game would have ranked very high in the jam.

Overall, it’s a solid project, especially considering it was made in just a week for the jam. it’s excellent! That said, I would have liked a bit more feedback from the game itself. You guys did a great job; you worked hard and delivered a worthy result! Keep it up!

Tbh i couldn't play more than 4 min, the pixels movement from the background is gives me a headache. The first dialogs should be skipable.

The game visuals are nice and have a good atmosphere. 

  • I think it would have been better to have the dialogue with characters drawn in a style similar to the game (I know it might be a limitation, as you did use some public-domain assets). The video characters look like some cheap 90s video disc game (unless that was the vibe you were going for).
  • I got soft-locked as "Try and complete your task" but forgot what that was; maybe an add-task reminder could be useful. 
  • In the intro, the text would look better with a background panel.

Lots of potential and good stuff in the game; well done.
