I liked the dynamic between Gil and Jill as well as Scarlet and Gil. The glass cleaning mechanic was well-chosen, it keeps the player busy without distracting too much from the story. The music choices were great too, they and the color palette really helped to create that perfect bar mood. Great job!","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Big Pear Studios","author_uid":"1186155","time":"2020-10-06T03:03:19Z","epoch":1601953399,"modified":1601953399,"text":"@captaindreamcast Oh shit it's captain dreamcast.

The narrative, while simple, is a really nice touch that makes it more bearable repeating the same tasks over and over.
