Interesting take on the theme! The controls weren't great, and there wasn't a whole lot to do, but it was certainly innovative. The environmental graphics were also quite good. I loved the letters :)

I really liked the mood in this game as well as the concept. It felt kind of strange having this relative discourse between being the lone survivor in a desolate wasteland (common for heroes of survival type games) and finding out through gameplay that you are the reason you are the lone survivor. Good job!

interesting narrative but clipping was really buggy, I activated the explosion and it teleported me but not all the tiles synced so I was walking through walls and stuff

I will try and reproduce it so I can fix it. Thanks for letting me know about the issue!

I do love a story, even a tragedy.

Well done, sir.

On a replay, I trapped myself in the "burn every bridge" path. Not sure how I would have taken it if I'd done that the first time.

I hope I never receive a letter from the Alaska Fishermen's Union.

Interesting story of a man remembering how he became who he is at the beginning of the game.
I like the idea of the progression and how we can modify history by disabling the machine anytime.

Nice to see a game about a villain which isn't one-dimensional. Like it.

Very moody and heavy. I was intrigued and wanted to keep playing to see what would happen. Nice story development, and great job overall for a weekend!

Wow, that was surprisingly engaging. The narrative was great and the controls were really well done. It has an almost Saira-esque lonely feel to it, it was really shocking.

Some more work and this could be a really, really amazing game! Please keep working on it!

Wow. Fantastic storytelling. Game engine and UI is a bit crude, but served it's purpose. Very thought-provoking...

Neat story, and I liked the interface with the hold left/hold right controls.

Nice graphics and a solid adventure game!

Interesting take on the theme and always good to see a narrative-driven game like this. Not my kettle of fish really but still interesting.

It was fun to see the character seeming less and less evil as I went backward.

Very nice storytelling.
Not for everyone, but I though that this game had the best story yet this LD.
The graphics and sound are really nice as well.

Interesting story.
