Thanks for playing!
Relic, the artist, wanted to add "tells" to the kidnappers, but we determined it might've been out of scope for the jam. Scope creep was a big problem for us, but we wanted to keep to the "MoSCoW" method. Adding tells to strangers just so happened to be in the "Could have" section, rather than the "Must have" section. I 100% agree though, if we continued the game we most certainly would've added it :).
