I liked it!
The visual of the game goes well with the theme and sets the mood! Good job!
I'm not really an aficionado with this style game, but I feel like the UI buried information behind those different menus when some or all of it could have fit on one screen. Especially the soldier's mental state, where it seems we need to tediously look through each of their conditions before making a decision about where to put them and which story to pick. There's also the element of needing to match names and faces that feels kind of... not fun.
The artwork is great, the idea is cool, and the presentation and mood is very good (those little animated sections between runs are very cool). Good job everyone!
