me potted plant died :(
Actually, this was almost no game. Nice art, nice atmosphere, nice plot (as far as I got it), but the gameplay is nearly non-existent.
Another great game from them and really enjoyed this one. The art style looks great, and the simple mechanics were fun to learn. Even in a short time, it managed to capture me and make me wonder what was going on. The sounds and atmosphere were done well while the plot was quite engaging yet simple. Short but a good experience!
Excellent art and mechanics. I thought Papers, Please-like games wouldn’t surprise me anymore. Great work!
Awesome short game! Even with its short run time it got me invested in its world and characters. I hope we can learn more about the characters in the future <3
Kinda reminds me of Heat Abnormal! (a song)
LOVE ITTT :D
such a nice art and sound design, i wish there was an ending which would show what's happening. got some Papers Please and No I'm not a human vibes
satisfying hole punching sounds
Needs more hole punching, but I liked it! Good job!
Thanks for playing!
ДРОП, но почему?
В самом начале было сложно, непонятно куда эти листы вешать.
С механикой разобрался, первые 2 дня оказались простыми, но вот такие приколы ввели в ступор.
По итогу дропнул здесь:
**Почему?** То, как я проходил предыдущие уровни больше здесь не работало. Новой информации нет, затуп, дроп.
Но даже это не главная проблема игры!!
Главная проблем - отсутствие выбора и мотивации. Время никак не ограничено, проиграть нельзя, выбрать помогать челу на 2м дне или не помогать нету. НУ такое
то что время не ограничено для меня наоборот плюс, с механикой разобралась довольно быстро. жаль конечно, что в игре нет разветвления и концовки как таковой, но всё равно мне понравилось. Джасткор молодец, берёт вайбом
Awesome!
