It's a very short game which I made to brush up my skills and experiment with some stuff. Heck it doesn't even have much to be a game to be honest... I really wanted to work on more levels and everything but due to some issues I couldn't but well I really do hope you guys enjoy it!Also I would love to get feedbacks! It was quite fun working on this!

The game has voice overs so I would recommend using the earphones or headphones. Controls:

Arrow keys to Move and Jump X to Interact and Z to shoot.

It would help a lot of people if you list the supported platforms for your build :)

Very nice job on this! I especially loved the intro sequence. And the voice acting too!

The narrator voice and the background rain fits in so insanely well with the overall cyberpunk theme. Really love the pixel graphics too, but there needs to be more contrast to differentiate between the character and background. The narrative gets messed up sometimes if you proceed without waiting for the current event to get over, in which case audio overlaps.

The overall atmosphere is really cool.

the game is pretty. It has a good mood and the design is very good for teaching the player/ I like your level design choices.

I love the art-style and atmosphere, it reminded me why I love pixel art. The gameplay is cool and I don't know if I actually finished the game or not. The penalty on every move limit my eagerness to explore the environment but the stressful need for thinking before doing anything is what I enjoyed about the game.

@articnet I'm trying to fix but not sure why it's crashing. I have uploaded the HTML5 build so you can play that till then.
@hijomo Thanks! I actually wanted to have more levels in there but due to time I couldn't.
@Yetman Glad you liked it! I really wanted to create that feeling of stress while playing the game.

I really love the style of this--great graphics and a solid overall feel. Props for taking such a narrative angle--the voiceovers were interesting. I think the gameplay could use a bit of polish and the voiceovers are sometimes a bit hard to hear and overlap with each other. I think with a bit of elbow grease, this could become something really great.

I like the general looks of the game but the game has some small issues to fix in my opinion.

1. Dialogue sounds overlap each other making it impossible to hear.

2. The main point this game separates itself from other similar games is the story but the story ends very suddenly after a single player choice (I choose X by the way HAHA >:^) ).

If I were you I would have focused on the story more and the graphics less.
Even with the issues this game has I really liked the atmosphere and I see a lot of potential when more levels are added to the game.

Thank you for making this game! I really enjoyed it!

@dgollahon Thanks. Yeah I really need to fix the overlapping sound, I'll be posting a post-jam version soon with less bugs and maybe with more gameplay.
@mrerdalural Thanks. Oh that's a bug in the version, along with 'X', 'Z' is supposed to show up but it doesn't. Though I think in the HTML5 version, it does show up properly. Glad you liked it!

Love the graphic style man, and I actually found myself really getting into the story! A bit more refinement on the character mechanics & animations would be the icing on the cake. Good work!

Great graphics and has nice audio effects. One thing which bothers me is at every restart I have to go through the mini training (pressing X to skip make the voices overlap).
