First a note for others playing this game: I had to enable 'alternate download mode' in itch to install this one, the download wasn't working without it. In the downloads, just click 'downloads not starting' if this comes up.
The game was actually really humorous and some of the posts towards the end were quite funny! And I loved how increasing followers sacrificed real friends; it felt fitting. I quite liked the pixel art in the second options of photos, but the left options were clearly just photos with a pixel filter applied. It would have been nice to see the nice pixel art continue throughout the game, but sadly, no. I quite liked the degree of choice that you had. The more of a rich asshole you became, the less friends you had, and you could choose what to say and post. The actual UI could do with some work, as many of the buttons didn't highlight when you hovered over them. The message buttons don't highlight, so I initially assumed that they didn't work. Some of the animations were a bit long, particularly the change of day animation and the notification animation, which blocked the power button, temporarily preventing you from progressing. You could maybe have these move faster or react to input (flick up a notification to dismiss). Overall, the game was quite funny, and whilst the theme of sacrifice isn't instantly obvious, it is once you play to the end. Well done, and keep developing!
