This entry deserves more views.
It's really really good, one of my favorites so far. I kinda had to be a monster to survive...sent off half of the camp for scavenging, had enought resources for the 5 remaining to last for quite a while.
The tutorial goes for way to long, it could be shorter!
Kudos!
I feel like a monster and I killed everyone...
10/10

Game stuck after some moment. I felt like this game could bring better fun if made turn-based, not the time-based. Music is just awesome.

Very cool, the time was a bit annoying, I'm very indecisive and never had time to kill anyone ): Graphics and audio really solid (:

i felt guilty afterwards for being so selfish, but when it's come to surviving, i only care for myself...
seems that i really am the monster here. great job

Game has tons of atmosphere, fantastic art style and music. Great concept, executed well. Well done.
Cool concept. I particularly like how this game handles the theme -- exploiting your companions for your own survival pays off better than simply trying to keep everyone alive.
I found a bug. I'm the only one left alive, and no matter how often I feed myself, I'm perpetually stuck at 29 supplies.
Does this mean I win?
Really nice game, at the end everyone hated me, so I send everyone to scavenge and just one survived... I think I should not be the leader of a group

Great game really! One of the best I tried so far.
Amazing entry. Only a few small details that, if fixed, could make this easily a top-10 entry:
- Time run too fast! I barely have time to assess my people and have to click super fast. Make it slower and/or give me the option to skip to feeding time when I want to
- People stole more supplies than I had. I got negative supplies, and after the feeding phase the game froze. This happened on my 2 runs in the game =(

Excellent entry from you guys as usual. You have all the right elements here. I'm always really impressed with what you guys manage to pull off during a jam. The gameplay is solid, though I did manage to get my brains bashed in. The art is beautiful, and the soundtrack is great. With a little more polish you guys will have something really special here.
Very compelling game. The content of the game combined with the music really set the tone. Very well done.
The Audio made this game. I really like how solid it was and could see this being a fully realized game. Nice job

I was looking forward to this one (got to it through a blog post) but everyone seemed to move slowly. I'm talking walking-in-place slowly. Weird bug! Here's a gif: http://i.imgur.com/DaMIwVG.gif
I'm refraining from rating. Nice music and ambiance though!
Wow, emotional connection achieved. I found myself hating the guys with big appetites who would wand to eat all the food and sending them out into the wastes hoping they would either die or bring back food, either way being a "win."
I am a monster.
Music was fantastic, and art style conveyed the stark nature of the environment, even though pixelly.

I killed everyone the first time I played. The second time I left them to starve while I stuffed all the food for myself... I can't be responsible of a group of people... or animals... or objects... ;-;
Nice graphics, nice gameplay and awesome music!

Quite good, could be polished more for post-comp version
This game is AWESOME!!! The only issue I have is that the hunger bar is sort of confusing. It says "hunger" but if it's full then...they aren't hungry? And if it's low then they are...so it took me a little be to understand that low hunger meant the are hungry. But other than that, it is really interesting and the art is great, and animation and the kill animation...the sound track. Very impressive, this could totally be fleshed out into a fully featured game! However, since it's not a refugee camp in Africa and just a generic camp in the apocalypse...I wonder why all the characters had to be black aren't white people affected by the apocalypse too...or maybe that's part of the statement of the game? :)

An excellent game.
I would've liked a few more options with what I could do but I understand that would be a little hard in the time you had.
I also managed to find a bug where I just got unlimited supplies, not quite sure how to replicate I'm afraid.
But overall a great entry, I loved the music and it truly does make you feel like "the monster," good job!
I liked the Papers Please inspiration! Pretty fun until the game got stuck after sending the rest of my people out for supplies and I couldn't feed myself (bug?). I also did not realize I could give more than one food to people, wish I had known that before everyone got mad at me! And finally, it'd be great if I could skip the scavenge mode if I wanted to go straight to the food time. Overall a strong entry!
It actually has a thematic and gameplay similarity to a past LD game we did called "Rations, Please!" Check it out! http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=22946
Amazing game about man with power. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. But I see little relation with the theme. The game gave me a reason to justify my decision, I don't necessarily feel like a monster. A very polished game nonetheless. 10/10
I was really looking forward to playing this, but whenever I go to the web page, the unity player loading bar fills up and then stays there without starting the game. Am I just impatient?

This. was. AWESOME.
No, really. Great idea, great music, great art style, awesome game.
Veeery nice, probably my favourite so far :)
Reminds of Gods Will Be Watching somehow, I'm sure you already thought about that.
I love the mood, but also the gameplay. There are a few things that could be improved, like the aforementioned time problem, but overall. it's awesome. Lots of 5 stars for u guys ;)

Tutorial is too long, but the game was funny.
Pixel art and music was nice too.
This is IMPRESSIVE. Dark, challenging, and a really great interpretation of the theme. 5 stars all around.
Jesus. 10/10
Love the concept and the aesthetic of the game. The atmosphere really makes you feel like there's little to no hope. The strategy itself feels slightly shallow but still enjoyable. Definitely enjoyed this one!

Awesome game! Overall 5/5! The concept is realist. I like it! The graphic is lovely and music is great! Picked by GB!
Damn, a game's so emotionally suppressing. Hopelessness in every second of gameplay.
Everything in this game feels very solid.
My head was smashed with a stone. My suffering in this hungry world has ended.
If there will be a little bit more variety in a game I will totally buy it.

Wonderful game. Finally one where I really felt like I was the monster, and I didn't really have a choice.

Great idea, though obviously inspired by papers please, well done :)
Very good graphics, and nice take on the theme.
I just think the time until dinner is a little bit too fast.
But overall, well done!
Tip: if the game seems to get stuck in a loop after preloader bar is full just wait some more it took a while to load for me I thought it was crashing at first.
Love the game. Considering it's an LD entry, this game deserves 5 in many categories. Won't be wasting any more time on praises (I have men to feed :D), some critics: writing "hunger" on a label for hunger bar is misleading, only at start of Day 3 did I figure out fuller bar means person is *less* hungry, the bar being red which is usually associated with danger doesn't help either, as a matter of fact even after figuring it out I'm still getting confused over that one. Maybe rename label to something opposite of "hunger" or invert the bar so it gets emptier the less person is hungry. And yea timelimit gets annoying but I guess it is meant to be played different from what most people expect once you learn the game logic, I think most of us just want to take it slow and enjoy the setting you set us in, with that being said if you feel like please do expand this game into something more than what it is now by adding more options and situations, and then maybe you could increase or remove time limit.
arrrg!!! I really want to play this game, but the web keeps crashing... :-( What can I do? (please answer on my page so I can see it)
@Drunkteam read my comment above just have to wait for it to load, keep clicking Wait button.
Bug report: on day 9 I got stuck with only 2 more guys and have sent them both to scavenge, after I gave myself last ration (had only 1) the game get stuck and I am just standing at table.

Very fun and great interpretation of the theme.
I ran into a few bugs with it getting stuck but thats to be expected in an LD. Great work on this.

Very original entry.
I liked the concept very much. I wish there would be even more ways to influence the other members of the camp.
Sound is top notch and the mood is great!
Nice entry!
Hah! Why Unity3D for that 2D-game? Not Love2D? I'm dead while is loading.
Very good, I like the random events! I don't like the graphics, though! Played it 4 times. :)
Keep it up!
Nice, end game is a little slow once everyone is dead though, since there's no option to do anything. But one of my favourite entries!
Nice choice for a monster. 5 on the theme.
omg this game is amazing! papers please with apocalypse awesome, nice job!

Great atmosphere, great take on the theme. One of the best entries so far!
Very well made, by far one of the best games I've played.
This is by FAR one of the best games I've played. I love psychological games and stories and this one is so effective. I developed a plan to keep the strong builds and emotional indifferents as well fed as possible, while casting the others by the wayside, but I really felt like a terrible person. It was alot of fun to play and I'd really like to see updates on this! Amazing job!!

This is a really remarkable entry! The art, audio, mood, and systems are all really intriguing. I had a problem when I started it up and immediately felt overwhelmed by the tutorial, all the people I had to keep track of, the timers, etc. but I think you could really tighten the game up, balance the progression, and it'd be something that I'd love to play for hours!
Awesome work!!!
Looks awesome but I can't get it to play in my browser. Any chance for a downloadable version?
Didn't run on my laptop (browser crashed), tried desktop and omg. This is very good - theme, mood, graphics, fun. This entry has it all.
Impressively complex, brutal with great visual style, quite arresting...
Amazinga game!
A bit hard to survive, but this game is impressive!
The music fits so well with the game to!
Day 14 - Everybody has died scavenging for food a long time ago. I have lots of supplies and I think I can just eat that one bug over and over. May be I have been alone for too long and am just imagining things. May be I should just eat the bullet next.
Great gameplay! I love it :)
I sure did eat like a king! Somebody bashed my head in with a rock on day 10, but I totes had it coming.
My only criticism is that there's a bit too much to weigh up in the time before dinner, I would prefer to be able to send everybody that I want out for the day, then manually proceed to feeding everybody else.
Wow really intense!! Very grim but awesome. Saw complaining but ignored it: i was assassinated. 5/5 on mood.
You guys always make cool games with very interesting concepts. Great job!
