I realized that the movements of the people at the store were easy to predict. You should add some randomness in how and when they turn and change directions. Could be a few times in the game, and that would add to the overall intensity of the game. Other than that, this is a very good game. I had fun playing it!

This game has a stellar narrative and voice acting! The aesthetic is really nice (and consistent), too.

This game was hilarious! The voice acting was on point and it was such a funny premise for a stealth game! Although the art ranged from great to alright it was very consistent in style which made the changes in art quality harder to spot, so extra points for that. The controls also felt quite floaty, like everything was made of ice, but other than that I really enjoyed it, well done!

Great game, really liked the graphics and sound effects. Keep up the good work!

I like, very original take on the theme. Some minor nitpicks are that the movement is a bit slippery and that I want to listen to all the dialogue but dont want to start the level over :p

Great game! I had a lot of fun playing it and there is a decent amount of content. The art is pleasing and fits the funny tone of the game nicely. I also enjoyed the voice acting at lot!

As has been mentioned already, I found the player movement to be floaty and a little slow. The only other suggestion I would make would be to add some kind of visual warning that an enemy is about to turn around. This would avoid the frustration of getting caught without being given the chance to evade.

All in all, solid entry. Keep up the good work!

Decent visuals and great sound effects. I think, you could experiment a little more with controls and core gameplay to make the game more challenging. Nice story, actually, and awesome trailer!

Nice game. Loved the sound effects! But same remark about the movements of the player.

Also, I got stuck twice in the first supermarket level because I was in sight of a red guy, but the guy could not reach me because of the angle and had to restart. But, hey, that's a Game Jam ! Anyway, nice work given the time at hand.

Great game, love the mechanics.

I do not really like top-down quests and RPG-like games. I liked the freedom of movement and nice art

You should probably have a 'Press Space to Continue' prompt on the first tutorial screen. Had to mash a lot of buttons before I found it, lol. Too many LD games played this week for me to have any clue as to what 'standard' controls are anymore! Also, kinda strange the the tutorial for the Small Mart gameplay section to happen on the second visit to the store. Actually, I'm not really sure why there is the first visit section at all.

One more nit to pick: I did not like the slide-y movement at all. Not just from a control standpoint, but the retro visuals really play against expectations for this sort of movement. It was very jarring and strange.

Alright, now that that's out of the way, I loved both the gameplay and backstory/fluff! Totally wasn't expecting a stealth-ish experience from the screenshots. Graphics and audio were top notch!

Nice take on the theme. That's a good entry, even if it lacks some little polishing.

Introvert Simulator 2017. Nice theme interpretation. Game can be easily passed on the first go, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Had fun playing.
