Very few ludum dare entries tackle serious issues, and a few that do do so poorly. this is not the case with 'Overwhelmed'. When I play your game, it feels just like it felt in the weakest point of my life, when I too saw people as angry red shadows harboring angry thoughts about me, and the only support I got was being told not to be selfish.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Stellar Job."},{"author_name":"malmazuke","author_uid":"4959","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:55am","epoch":1398664200,"text":"I feel like you captured it perfectly.

I know it's hard to come up with audio resources for a competition like this but this game really deserves something...softer, maybe? Less digital sounding?
