Great experience! Really reminicent of london living :)
ps, i didnt legalize slavery but i did crash the car every time on the way home for good measure
That just means you got the most out of the experience <3 although it also means you got the least money out of it...
I really loved this experience. The game was really creative and I appreciate the parallels it brought to well real life. Ths is probably making it into gmtk's vid ngl. I gave it all 5 stars :)
Thank you so much! I do think we need some more reviews before we can get the attention of GMTK themselves :> Would reallllllly apricte it if you get the word around :D
I very much enjoyed this game. The ending was dark, but hey at least I didn't privatise healthcare! XD
To be fair, we should've added a good ending specifically for people who chose not to privatize healthcare.
the fricking MOMENT I heard that FIRST NOTE, I knew what was coming, and I couldn't stop it 😭🙏🙏 And DANG things got dark pretty quickly, also giving me Driving in my car, right after a beer vibes. I LOVE how interactive everything is, this in my opinion is the best life job looping games, amazing work and keep it up guys!
That part was inspired by that song! Thought it would be funny to add drinking and driving, and weforcede it to work! Thank you <3
Forgot to say, but the voice acting was TOP notch!
<3
hi
This was somehow depressing af. Good job
Thank you <3
Same idea, different execution :)
Really nice work! A lot of variety in the different levels. Congratulations!
As a bit of feedback : the scene where you scrub your face was a bit hard to achieve, maybe it's a DPI thing? The filth images were really small on my screen.
I definitely agree. I strugled sligly getting the right sprite for it.
This one hit too close to home. The existential dread was too real, I will dream of the Budget this night...
Nicely done.
Sorry to hear that, I am here if you need to chat.
Awesome experience that starts resembling someone's life and ends up doing it more and more, with very nice use of theme!
Everything is incredibly coherent throughout the game. Extra kudos to the cool postprocessing guy, I like these grains.
Well done getting Chopin into your team! ¦3
It was not easy getting him aboard! But thanks alot!
I'm tired, boss. Can we save those children yet?
Do you have enough money?????
That took a dark turn really quickly!
Is there a "good" ending here hidden somewhere and I'm just a bad gamer? Or was my fate decided regardless of what I do? :D
Might add one if this game blows up. At the moment its a lot of work for the time we got.
Cool !!!
I really enjoyed the game! The dialogues were pretty funny, and the pixelated visuals made for a 'unique' experience :D
Thank you <3
