really cool! i love the vibe of the game, with the minimalist sound effects, simple visuals and the adjustable filter it's really perfect, i really like the choice of not having any music it fits the vibe, the concept is really fun too, i'll try it again and i'll keep an eye out for this secret ending

game concept is exciting, and I believe it has the potential to be a great addition to the gaming world, but the graphics are causing difficulty in reading the game content. Amazing work tho

Very good game and the story writing makes it awesome. Still waiting on those opening hours for the shoe museum though. Good job!

Very interesting game concept! However, after reading 5 or 6 messages I felt like I'm not sure where it's going, and if there's gonna be another aspect to the game. Amazing execution with the graphics, audio and mood!

Liked the original concept ! Games a bit slow to my taste, maybe have some kind of timer forcing the player to answer faster, or have some deep interaction between the conversations (I mean they are there already, but maybe deeper even?)! Also it is true you kind of have to force your eyes to see through the shader, though I get that it is for the feeling of the game. Congrats on the entry !

J'écris en francais puisque comme il y a une trad fr j'imagine que vous l'êtes :smile:

J'aime bien le concept,il est original et dans le thème d'une certaine manière.
On voit tout de suite qu'avec plus de temps les histoires pourraient être plus approfondies et avoir plus d'impact entre elles en fonction de nos choix.

Et puis la réalisation de l'idée est cleen, donc bravo!

Interesting game. The graphics are very good and I liked the sound effects as well.
Polished to perfection, now it's time to add the story :D This could be a full game with more work imo.
Good job, very nice overall!

Fun and easy to understand. Graphics also match this kind of game well :)

cool concept!! and i agree with others that this would make a great full game =D how the different routes could intertwine and how small things like a changed message from a kid to their mother could change the whole destiny of this city...

One of the best times I've ever had doing something hideously unethical. I'm not sure which I enjoyed more: screwing over the Land Robber Dealership or sending the would-be panda-nappers to the tiger cages. XD

Also: secret ending? You have me intrigued. :3c

Love the aesthetic and overall concept :)
It was really satisfying to see my actions affect the events in the game! Only wish it was longer and had a deeper plot and an overarching goal.

I really like hacker games and this one is really fun ! It was nice to discover the consequences of the changes I made and it was quite an immersive experience. Congrats on making me sweat to find the password, feel proud because I had discovered the password at the last possible try and then discover that no matter what I input, the third time is always the good one :smile:
Great job !

Clever use of choice to impact the in game story events! I would have liked to see even more events integrated into each other, though saving the museum and arresting a crook was pretty fun. It rewards paying attention to details, which allows for a tiger to be set loose while saving a panda.
Good job!
