The artwork is fantastic. Unfortunately it looks like there isn't much to be done as I couldn't get the game to progress past the first turn. I'd like to see this continued."},{"author_name":"Gipzo","author_uid":"32280","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 6:56pm","epoch":1450205460,"text":"Couldn't see any response for my actions in game.

The game is quite dull though; not that i only expect platformers, but I did not see a lot feedback to my decisions. The idea is good, so keep on it!"},{"author_name":"Tyler","author_uid":"16252","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:40pm","epoch":1450208100,"text":"Art is great, but I don't really think it relates to either theme very much and needs some more instructions on how to play. I also didn't feel like my choices affected anything much, so it needs improvement there too. It's a good idea, though!"},{"author_name":"the-arrival","author_uid":"47053","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:09pm","epoch":1450209840,"text":"Good concept, but it feels like an early prototype.  Your actions don't seem to have any real consequence, and people seem to shift from acceptance to displeasure at random. It would be great to see the idea fleshed out."},{"author_name":"UrbanHelsing","author_uid":"44682","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:29pm","epoch":1450211040,"text":"Looks alot like Papers, please.

I didn't have any trouble figuring out the basics and getting through the game for quite a few turns. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think a visual indicator for remaining supplies and cost for each selection would be good. I also don't know if selecting multiple even works.

In the folder will be proposals that you can approve by clicking on area with the line that is directly next to the fancy x, the proposals are how you respond to the events on the clipboard. ignoring a event or approving a proposal will affect your stats. your stats will be used to create a newspaper that vaguely describes your stats.\r\n\r\nNote:There are always multiple reports and potentially multiple responses, try clicking the shield with the eye and sword icon to change the page. \r\n\r\nEnding the turn lets several months pass, which gives you a set of reports on what's happened, proposals on how to deal with them, and a newspaper with your new stats described. You must try to keep the country stable the best you can with the information given. before signing a paper be sure to check the newspaper and think on how it will change the news on your next turn.\r\n\r\nIf there's something you don't understand, or want to see, please leave a comment.
