This had me biting my nails! Ooh the moral dilemmas! Good job y'all.

Love it :) Would have loves to see some more situations arise besides people offering me more money. I ended up just killing anyone who was old, unemployed, or a student. Call me cold :P

Doesn't scale well on a laptop monitor (1366x768) but other than that great game and amazing art. Inspired by Papers, Please? ;)

Overall, one of the best entries I've seen! Great feel, great fun, loved the moral dilemma aspect of it! You can feel it was inspired by Papers Please, honestly amazing stuff :D

Oh wow, this is great. It really gets you thinking as well, which is always good, I think. Good job!

Really fun entry! It seemed to let me give away rations even when I had run out though.

Nice colour palette and artwork

Great mood, very dark. Is it possible to win? Graphics nice too. I did have a name repeat once or twice in the same line, I thought it was people trying to trick me into giving them two but

..they were different ages, I was trying to say.

Very cool, like the theme, so depressing though, ended up shooting everyone after I had no fresh rations three days in a row. :p

So much feels! Simply phenomenal work here, congrats!

Good job ! A lot of inspiration from papers, please !

I had just finished day 22, had 2 people alive and 2 rations. Then my computer restarted itself. I don't have the patience to try to get that far again (it was my 2nd attempt, my first got me to 16 days), but I did very much enjoy the game. Wish I knew how far I could have made it though.

Also, (not sure if this was by design or not) it seemed like there really was no ending. On my first run, it said "Day 16" on the screen and just never went anywhere past that and the music just kept looping. Having the music fade out or having some sort of text appear to indicate that that is indeed the end would be nice.

This was a tough game... This may not be the best way to describe, but I can't find a better word...

It's a great game to get us thinking!

Something I felt was missing is the ability to price another ration. Sometimes, this would be a good option, if what you earned were great enough to buy another one or two (and the other party could always refuse if they weren't able to pay it).

Excellent job, almost a complete game - solid, brilliant. Compliments!

The game freeze at "black screen with day", at day 23, and one people left...
But overall nice game! ;)
Something like "Papers Please" game, but free ^^
I like mood, graphics, sound and gameplay. Really great job! ;)
You should be proud, that You made it! ;-)

Great interpretation of the theme. The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is intriguing, I love it ! I made it to day 24 but ran out of rations ;) Great work !

This is one of the best games I've seen this LD. You guys must have been really, really inspired by Papers Please (even the art style too!).
Nevertheless, this is a complete experience, and I'm stunned how you guys pulled it off in 72 hours!

Awesome, I really enjoyed the overall mood of the game. :)
