NOTE: This game does not advocate an ideology or political point of view. However, as a game about SOCIAL issues, diverse politics are directly or indirectly involved. If you don’t like it, don’t play.

THE GAME: The police are a fundamental organization for the whole of society. However, in many countries there are a few agents who deviate from good conduct and use their position to persecute, punish and even kill people at their own will.

This game is a tribute to the good cops and also the victims of the bad agents.

Nice game! I liked artwork and sound, and how they created a moody atmosphere! Also a well written story tht is unfortunately very true. Good work!

Great game! It's just a little sad that you don't have much time to read the text, but that's the only negative I can see there. You put a lot of work into this game, congrats!

Nice narrative and structure. You did a good job with prompts for music and art for the AI. How did you get that cohesive visuals? Loved it!

Muito bom meu velho! Uma pequena obra de arte, completo, poético. No final, fui liberado, mas fica o ranço. :*

Great job, the art is amazing! The overall mood is nice and the music is good. It's very well polished and intuitive.

Only bad point for me is the timing between the choices that is a bit too short to read sometimes.
And the integration was not working, I had to play it on itch.

I like games with multiple choices, I noticed a delay in the audio but it was noticeable in the menu, but nothing that gets in the way, it will appear for future upgrades not to leave the bars on display, because the player makes the story always predictable, reducing the surprise of the end, and add changes of backgrounds or animations during the choices to generate more dynamism, the arts are beautiful and the style I liked, it reminded me a little of comics, congratulations to the whole team, a big hug.

An important topic to discuss and the atmosphere fit the topic very well.

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't figure out how to fullscreen the game as it was quite small in the browser box and so reading was a bit challenging for me. I also only found 2 endings. I apparently can't find out how to be "harmful". Edit: As soon as I hit enter I realized what the third way would be and I got it. Well done.

I really like that you took this on and how choice is/isn't available at different times.
That being said, when I work on more sensitive topics I like to include links to things letting people know their rights (not that this protects them all the time, but it can sometimes help) and also to support services for those affected.
It takes a few minutes to assemble which is precious time in a game jam but it helps smooth out the interaction for folks where this might hit home too closely in the moment.

Overall though, very well done. Thank you.

Great art, suiting soundtrack, I really liked trying out this one. Only one thing that I didn't feel comfortable with was the timing, it was frustrating to read the event, read the options and track the stats all in the same time. My suggestion would be to show the event/situation and then give the choices. That would allow to pause a bit and keep track of what's happening with the stats.
