Maybe I don't get it, is there a way to affect one's destiny or can we just watch and hope?

great mood and presentation, love the quick cycling through different lives. poor susan, at least she had the best party ever before she killed someone, lived on the streets, got enslaved and died.

Don't know how to find out, with choice is the best... is there is special system to find out? 8 of 10 people died while i played this game ;)

It has alot of potential. But there should be a way to see if it's going to be good or bad(unless I don't get it) because otherwise it is just guessing over and over again. Making it have about a 4% chance that you will actually make it have a perfect life.

I like the concept, although I´m not sure how to find out which choice is right. It´s just a gamble, right?

Congrats with finishing your first LD. ;)

Great visuals and sound - contributed a lot to the atmosphere. Did not really understand my part as a player though: was I supposed to memorize some patterns or is it just "hope for the best"? Interesting entry :)

Weird game. My humans always had bad luck ^^

sebastian 2013-05-01 16:02

Got betrayed, accidentally killed someone, had a daughter, then skipped school and died...
Sheesh.

Interesting concept, great atmosphere. Everybody got arrested though, but at least they all had daughters :D

The ambiance is wonderfull, good job, but I don't understand if the player can found a strategy or if it's just random.

Wow. Really haunting :O I just didn't get it when there was a good choise to make...

The 75% odds of getting a bad event for your human make the game a bit sad. The sound design was pretty good.

Awesome! Almost as fun as torturing a potato :)

Good atmosphere and somewhat original, but as most people here I don't quite get what my job as a player is. Still a pretty ~immersive experience.

Excellent atmosphere - glad I played it.

eggdestroyer 2013-05-07 11:00

Sadly, I didn't get it at all

Very interesting entry. It has a lot of potential.
It might be more fun with a few other features.
Great atmosphere.

It's very cool, and I like all the generated names and events, but I can't figure out what effect my actions have on the outcome (i.e., is this actually a game?)

Good presentation and mood (music/sfx). I wasn't sure how to play and the directions seemed random? The most I did was 4 or so without failing. Good job on first LD. Work on the fun now :)
