2087, Global warming has become uncontrollable plunging the world in a restless serie of catastrophes. The poorest have been abandoned to their fate, packed like animals in the cold, while the wealthiest have find warmth and safety inside the cities wall.

You are a secretary at the border of such a city, Your job is to take letters, passports and packages and give them to the right people. (A simple click and drag), sounds easy right ? After all, this should be just another day...

the game reminds me of "papers, please", it sticks methodically to the theme but it gets a little bit boring after time. great work for only three day's time. would play again.

Really good game, with great atmosphere! Loved the guitar music on the background.
Sad to see you with so few ratings, people should really play this game.
Good job, I hope people start noticing it more and more ;)

@josemachado Thanks a lot for the feedback. I took a little too much time to play and rate game so it got a bit lost in all the submission, but i'm trying to catch up! Thanks again!

I really enjoyed all your sound bits for all the characters. I think i'd enjoy the game more if you put notes on the folder.

It's a little paper-please-like game. Love the mood, and the gameplay is solid. The sound design is nice. If you add more variations to the gameplay, it could be very nice!

Nice entry. The story, music and graphics build up a good mood! The graphic style is quite interesting.

As a fan of 'papers please' I enjoy games like this one, it's cool. I found a bug, when you click on one of your papers, after giving one of the people a letter, the letter spawns back at your desk. Should be an easy fix, I guess :)
The gameplay itself seems a bit repetitive and the choices you can make are also not that diverse, but in general it's a good entry!

Very well made and moody game, it could be improved by adding more meaningful player decisions.

This game could really really be a big thing post-jam. Like Papers Please, it could be a huge exploration of all these moral choices on who to reject and who to bring in. It also can be a huge exploration on the realities of global climate change and how that would affect society. Lots of great potential.

I wasn't very sure where the challenge was in this game, was it just to make sure that everyone got given the right letter and only let certain people in, or did I miss something? Lovely art and music though, very atmospheric.

@historymaker118 Thank your for your comment ;) We made the choice to have a very simple gameplay for the jam version, we wanted the challenge to be the moral decisions you have to take (letting certain people in, and not others), we wanted also the game to be about the relationships with people, especially your collegues :)

Wow great mood, liked the music and the rain background.
The speech are also emotional but i'm not sure to understand what I should throw letters in the bin since i don't run out of space on my desk ? (but i understood that the safe city run out of space haha).
Anyway great mood game, 5 in graphics and mood. Liked it very much !

@antoined73 Thank your very much for your feedback ! Actualy there's no real use for the bin haha, we programmed it at the beginning and decided to let it in for fun and to realistic ! May be we should have added more letters on the desk to make it harder aha ! Thank you again for your time and your vote, it means a lot ! Glad you enjoyed the mood of the game !! :)

Nice interpretation of the Theme. I liked the Graphics and the audio was amazing!

@ozerion2103 No I think the quantity of letters was enought :)
I think that if you have added more of it, it could have been frustrating and the player attention would have been deported on the quantity of letters instead of the emotions of your characters.
Oh and yeah, when we refuse to let a poor man pass, it could have been great to see him left from the left instead of seeing him leaving the screen to the right as any other rich people. ;)

The game was really well done. The connection to the theme was clear in two way: 1. the city where there was not enough space for all people and 2. the letters. The music and artstyle supported the atmosphere and I also really liked the soundeffects, like the voices of the people. I tried out several things but when I let the strange man in, the ending didn't show me what happened :c. Also I found a bug if you give a person a letter you can pick it from them away. This way I just stole the letters from the people and my boss still was happy with it :D

You can really see the influence from "Papers, please". Still, it's a nice game and I could see you made an effort to make the player have empathy for the characters. I like the graphics! But somehow it feels a little bit weird that the characters are the only thing with faceted style. Neat game overall, good work!

@antoined73 you're right, it may be the right amount, it doesn't gets your attention away too much from what's really important in the game...
Concerning going to the left for the poor man, i agree, we just did not have more time :P

@drskort thank so much for all your insights! 😊 Yess we heard about that bug haha..
Concerning the strange man, it's stange (no pun intended) that you cannot see his effect... Try to upset the boss a little bit, by making his satisfaction not at 100%... It should work that way at least ;) thank you a lot again!

@laura-angel unfortunately personnal events didn't let us have more time on the game.. Otherwise we would have done many variations of characters! Thank you for your feedback!! 😊

Ha that's a nice 'Papers, please!-ish' game. I like the mood and story, graphics are also very well made and pleasant to look at, i like this style a lot. Gameplay is really simplistic and at the end it comes down mostly just to what decision you have made, but i think that gameplay wasn't the main focus of the game, feels like it's more about mood, story and characters. Interesting game!
