the geeky lady completely caught me off guard!
funny that a game that included a linux build would have related dialog.
only things i'd have doubts about are:
- too reliant on mouse sensitivity, if you slip just a bit it might mean instant failure
- closing the game after the first attempt instead of allowing a retry

Really nice game, cool concept and funny!

Nice game!

I enjoyed the gameplay loop and the dialog, although it would have been nice for there to be more dialog (linux lady aside) as I found a lot of the dialog repeated.
Maybe also have a Bach song playing in the background as it is reference in the dialog alongside the music you have right now?

Apart from that I liked the game, the dialog was humorous and the pixel art was nice.

I loved some little touches like the fact the drummer is actually playing animation of hitting the cymbal when you can also hear it in the background music.

I couldn't get past the second character though, whenever I grabbed their belongings, the bar was immediately going full and I had to hide. Tried 4 times, always same result :/

Really original, good sense of humour, and a bunch of really nice touches especially with the audio (e.g. being close to the band). I enjoyed this game - the dialog was fun, the room had a lot of atmosphere, everything worked well together.

I wasn't really sure what the hide mechanic did. I seemed to survive even though I didn't hide, or maybe I did? I got into a state where grabbing the gem would instantly fail.

The whole steal mechanic was definitely necessary but seemed a bit too tedious. The dialog portion was more fun to me. I especially liked that the guy down the bottom had completely different dialogue. I wish that the different fancy people had different sets of correct answers to the same questions, it seemed to be a bit like that with the Marxist guy? but it would have been better with even more of that sort of thing.

Just saying, the bar going immediately full on the second character is not a bug :) Also, being unable to quit to menu or retry the game was caused by lack of time, game shited the bed every in such unpredictable ways while quitting to main menu that we decided to remove this, in post-jam version it will be fixed. In the meantime, please launch the game again in order to replay it. Sorry! :)

Grat graphics and a cool game idea. Like mentioned before a restart button would go a long way. And maybe adding a few shorter conversation options also. A lot of them ended up with memorizing the first words of the right answers and choosing those instead of keeping a real conversation in a way. And i loved the geek girl and the strait chillin dude! More like those please!

Wow, this entry was amazingly unconventional!
It took me a while to get comfortable with the mouse sensitivity not to make the red bar run too fast and also I had problems in being smart enough to read, understand and save enough time so that at the end it became a little like "understand the matches by try and failing".
But I had a really nice time enjoying your game.
Thanks a lot!

Really unique! It's nice to see game that has a non classic gameplay. The art and the music works very well. I was really bad so I could only do harvest a couple guest but I really had fun playing it. Good job!

awesome game! the pixel art was detailed and the colors give depth to the game, the mechanics is well presented to make it easy to understand, the challenge lies on how the hand is steady on the mouse as the player chooses the correct statement, this has good replay value, congratulations! keep it up!

Great atmosphere and art! The stealing mechanic builds a tonne of tension and its fun having to split your attention between that and the conversation. I think there's lots of cool ways you could build on this in the future too, with more elaborate stealing minigames.

A bit tricy and hard, but the gameplay itself if fun og got a nice bgm.

Hey mate, I really want to play your game but it doesn't run. I downloaded the windows version but clicking the .exe only opens a blank window. Is there any software I need? I downloaded Godot but that didn't seem to help.
Also I can't figure out to PM anyone here or on itch.io, sorry.

@schnodelfactory hey, try to open the game using commandline and see if any errors appear. Please try to wait, the game may need to load for some time before it starts.
