Your spacecraft's life support system has been irreparably damaged and is now capable of sustaining only one person, not three. The "Unconventional Weapon" is a program on the ship's computer, called "chucky_the_arbiter.exe". Chucky has been tasked with deciding who lives and who dies.
If you're up for some good ol' fashioned dark comedy, this simple game is definitely worth sixty seconds of your time.
Well you got the humor part down :P
Aside from that, unfortunately it's just a quiz you take. I'd suggest either having a larger pool of random questions for replay value, but really a quiz as a mechanic for a game isn't that exciting. I said 4 stars for mood because the dialogue was well written and the UI/graphics immersed me pretty well.
Liked it. Would have been neat if the UI were on a terminal screen -- the star field could be seen through a window in the background maybe? And a little more sense of what the computer "thought" about my answers, maybe a snarky response to some of my specific choices.
@scumbly There actually is some internal logic behind what answers the computer likes and doesn't like, and he has certain biases against certain crew members. Originally there were going to be some mechanics where you can do certain things to get more insight, and use that info to help you choose your answers more carefully.
I ended up being really sick the entire weekend, and this was all I had the energy for. I almost didn't participate at all, but instead I decided to do the smallest project I could think of.
Hopefully I can do something more ambitious for LD 33.
Funny little game! I included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Cnio28O-EgI
