I love the music, I managed to make it to day 6. Not sure if it's possible to go beyond that.

I didn't notice the day to night count on the bottom left until my second playthrough, it's a bit inconspicuous.

I liked the fact that you have to balance popularity with money.

Very interesting idea for the theme. I like the art style of the game and how it mixes with the music. It was really weird though that some day everybody lied no matter the chances. Great job!

As soon as I saw Miku I just HAD to click it
She looks very cute in your artstyle and the music is very pleasant, I could keep listening to it for hours
I love the sketchy look of the dialog box and the rest of the background, it really helps with the feel of the time period!
I had trouble understanding who told the truth and who didn't, but being tired probably didn't help

Love the art, music, and vibe, the dialogues are fun and thematic. Would be fun to see expansion into how you know the chances, great entry!

I spent 27 gold coins on this.

Omg I absolutely adore the art haha - especially that armored fellow.
The UI was wonderfully done as well - has a great sense of character and style (almost reminds me of sol cesto)
Awesome job!

Nice art! I found that sometimes I would skip dialogue too fast by clicking, thinking it starts dialogue though.. Stupid habit from other games! Would love ability to read what was said prior 'I spend ... coins on this' to think it through.

Interesting take on the theme! I wasn't sure what to base my guesses on rather than blind chance, which made the gameplay loop not too rewarding... But either way, the art and writing are both great, very polished entry.

A minor complaint: the typing effect made me want to click to reveal the full message, but instead that skips to the next one.

很有趣的游戏,随着催收金额越来越高,让人也有一定的紧张感,画风很好看

Love the art style, and the writing is fun! The gameplay feels a bit like Reigns that you have to balance reputation and revenue, and the idea is interesting. But I’m not sure how to tell if people are lying. Did I miss something?

Love the artwork and the whole idea! Playing with possibilities and balancing popularity and money was very interesting. The only thing I'm struggling to understand is the relation between money declared and money/popularity that I get. I guess the amount of popularity and money recieved are connected, but the sutiations are random.

Great looking game. The balancing of choices is great game mechanic, but why does clicking truth sometimes lower the people's satisfaction?

I like everything about this game except for the game itself. Let me explain - the art looks nice, the writing is interesting, the sound are good, the ui is responsive and nicely stylized. The only thing that I am missing is a rewarding game loop. I don't understand what my my decisions should be based on. It feels like just clicking the sign with the bigger percentage underneath it.

Interesting game, I liked the characters and their dialogue, at the start I tried to figure out how to play the game, but didn't seem to find much correlations so I just started to click the choices randomly.

Really cool game, I liked everything about it... Its just a little bit to hard for me, if I have to be honest... Thats probably an issue from my side though, so I love everything. (Miku reference?)

It's really difficult to please everyone! Being hated is inevitable...

:)

It reminded me of "Reigns". A little simpler, but it has the same idea.

Great art and music, and fast and interesting gameplay.

Congratulations!
