Very on theme, great face animations too!
I was able to survive the nuking (at least for another month)
I loved the artistic, detailed qualities of the intel and the deep psychological analysis that I had to perform in order to get the neccessary information :smirk:
Impressive technically with polished graphics and working TV! While short, I enjoyed this short exchange that enabled me to delay the inevitable.
Respect for the detailed manual and ambidexterous controls.
I like the concept - I would totally play a longer game with this concept, something with the mechanics of"Papers, Please!" but more lighthearted and with tounge-in-cheek tone - sounds interesting!
I would love to see the "writing" part explored more in this concept - the setting, audio and graphics set the mood wonderfully but it left me hungry for more!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511798379394867205
The scrawled writing and coffee stains, the reinforced concrete 'office', the period-accurate devices - all very well rendered.
All that for just 30 more days in the sun...
Great entry!
Love your take on it. It's pretty small but I enjoyed every bit of it. Graphics are great, the core mechanic of trying to understand the drawings on the board in 15s is really fun (the drawings are top-notch btw), the dictator's animation and voiceover are also very-very well done! Very polished and fun experience!
I was recording my playthrough of your game, but it kinda took a lot of resources so the recording's like 1FPS :sweat_smile: Well, you could still hear the commentary so here's a link just in case https://youtu.be/xAmitsB_F9k
The humor is definitely this game's biggest strength, along with the audio and visuals. It's a pity there isn't any more content.
Just a nitpick - it would be nice to be able to skip the dialog.
Great job!
Always imagined he's looking exactly like in your game :)
Good job!
But overall, well done!
