made by Bassilij for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Greetings, Soul Deliverer!

You should remove all souls from the lists, who don't qualify for heaven as a siner. There are only seven such sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Laziness, Anger, Envy, and Pride. Souls will tell you about themselves. Press DEL if you think the soul is not fit for heaven. And the soul will go to hell. The soul's story is short, and you have to decide quickly! You have no right to make a mistake. Don't send an innocent soul to hell and a sinful soul to heaven.

Example: 'I killed my neighbor.' - it's a sin! You press DEL

It seemed like there wasn't enough "Hell Deserving" choices to balance it out. I found myself not pressing anything for quite a while. Definitely an interesting concept though.

I have to agree with other commentors, there weren't many hell deserving choices and there also weren't many overtly good acts, so it seemed like a mix of normal / usual things, which, after all is how life normally is, so points to realism I guess.

The music and writing sound effects were interesting at first, but got annoying the more I progressed into the game.

Even so, it was an interesting concept and I am especially intrigued by the fact every asset was made with Stable Diffusion.

Overall, a good game I enjoyed.

very unique mood. I've never played a game like this before! Quite a few belly laughs. Great job!

The gameplay was interesting (especially as the lines started being said faster) and there were some gems in there :) I would have liked to see more different lies too and maybe also stories that would be coherent from start to finish for certain characters rather than the same lines being used randomly, but this was nice!

The art style was definitly the most interesting part to me. and the mood was set well with the constant sound of writing.

You've got a good concept. The graphics were fine, but the gameplay felt a bit stale. Either way, I really enjoyed the texts.

What a strange atmosphere. The artistic touch is a big part of it. It was surprising, I liked the experience!

Unfortunately couldn't play. Pressed del key in M2 macbook air and the game didn't start :((

The concept of the game is very fresh and unusual. I think it also succeeded in making players question their own moral compass. Every time I saw the phrase 'I am a priest,' I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency to press delete in order to save the children.

Very cool !
It's just missing more informations on why we succeed or failed.
Love the mood !

Good game! I feel like the interactions are perhaps a tad drawn out so a way to speed up the text at the expense of difficulty would be cool. All the same I really enjoyed!

i love the music and the whole weird atmosphere that emerges when you play the game and reading the words they say! so creepy! though i'd have also liked if the sentences would have been written faster :)

I think the use of AI images added to the atmophere! i like the concept but i wish it would give me a bit more time to evaluate the statements

The game is simple, so I played. Longer than I thought.

Easily the most creative take on the theme I've seen so far xD

I really liked the concept, and the gameplay was fun, but it got a little repetitive after a while. I would have loved to see some tailored stories that would make you really weigh the decision of sending people to hell (kinda like Papers Please).

Good job!!

This was an interesting entry! I think it could've been way better if i had a little bit more time to judge and i also hardly ever ran into something that was hell worthy : P

Great work!

In general, it's cool, but it would be worth coming up with more phrases. And also after writing the whole word, I would make a short pause, otherwise sometimes there is not enough time to realize the phrase if you don't know English perfectly well).

Cool game, I liked the concept of the game, the writings get a bit repetitive after a while, the graphics are really nice, I found it really interesting to use AI to generate and the sounds are also really cool. Good job!
