Really loved the game and the idea with the "Big Brother is watching you" vibe. I found three endings. Good Job!!!
This was so awesome!! I love the vibes (particularly the visual effects, and how the music progresses). Eye on the TV screen is an awesome touch. I also liked most of the writing, particularly the TV text!
If I had to critique one thing it's that some lines felt a bit stiff or overexplained maybe? ("after all those taxes we pay, I'm basically just in poverty" stood out to me)
Also please hook my bro up with some more arms 🙏‼️ ty
This was a very fun game to play! I love the aesthetic use of flashy colors! Good work :D
Cool short game. Loved the use of aesthetics!
My only issue is that text tends to jump around while being typed, making it a bit hard to read, but a good game nonetheless!
thank you for the feedback! yeah that's the edgy noise shader i slapped on top of everything - good thing to point out though, i'll patch that up soon so it's easier for people to read :)
