Beneath The Surface of the Mind by jtcrash
So, didn't make it nearly as far as I wanted to. But as my first game I figured I did alright.
So there isn't much to do in game, it is survivalist at this point as there is nothing much to do but walk around the map. The logic may be a bit broken but the idea is if you are alone you will eventually "die" but getting swamped by crowds can set you off emotionally, so you have to avoid these situations.
Right now, nothing happens when one of your emotion bars reaches full but the idea is that you'd lose if any of the red bars goes full, or the happy bar goes empty.
Also no sound :(

I liked the tone set by the into screen and the topic but once in the game I wasn't quite sure what was going on!

Added some comments up above in the notes section, this isn't the most complete game there has ever been :)

Agreed with Pete_H, it was a little tough to tell what was going on, definitely some interesting systems going on in there though! With some more work could be an interesting project!

The graphics were nice (the people could have used more work, but the intro and tileset were pretty nice). That said, I wasnt quite sure what I was supposed to do in the game.

I liked the concept, but felt confused about what I should be doing in game. Did the other people matter?

I ran out of time before I could finish this game off. But, yeah the other people adversely affect the emotion bars in the lower left. You can change your emotions in the upper right and it will affect different internal emotions. So for example, if your fear level gets too high you can switch to the frowny face to reduce your fear but will reduce your happiness.

Pretty creative idea. I think if you expanded on it, it could be a fun game.

This is a good start. With some more work this game could become something special.

Interesting concept, you should definitely keep working on this! Would love to see a version of this with some actual gameplay in it.
