Interesting concept. Reminds me of old school choose your own adventure games.
Awesome game, loved the aesthetic! Little buggy (the guard's countdown wouldn't trigger one play through) but regardless it was really fun!
The art is very good. And Rhapsody in blue gives an amazing mood. Congrats!
I enjoyed delaying the train. Unfortunately police caught me
Loved it. Everything is perfect. I wish there should be an option that skips to the station because the game might be done in a short time.
I really enjoy the atmosphere of the game, the music and the film reel sound effect go well together, art is decent, maybe make the ui more presentable, game was pretty funny too. And one of the more interesting takes on the theme I've seen so far. Good job.
@digitaldude555 I'd love to take credit for SFX, but it's not actually a film reel sound effect, just a genuine 1924 recording! :)
A fun little game. I got a little greedy and just knocked everyone I could out... oh well it was a fun experience, fitting atmosphere and some appealing art. Well done!
Wow, really great concept and art and mood! Could see this being a full-fledged game.
This was awesome! Really enjoyed the art and the entire atmosphere of the game
Very fun and original entry! A very minor nitpick: to me the tracks and the rest of the scenery appear to be moving in opposite directions
@mensio If the track appears to be moving in a strange direction it's presumably the result of the [wagon wheel effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect), which can also affect videos of fast-moving periodically-repeating objects (like train tracks) in real life.
@3lstmsinatrenchcoat I see. I just noticed that If I concentrate on the space between 2 carts I can actually see them moving much faster. Even knowing that, my brain can't decide the way the train is moving. Interesting stuff!
This was great! I rarely give top score on humor but this ones got it! :D
It's simple, interactive, and a funny story. It's a great pixel art story game. I haven't seen an interesting game like this since... I don't know. A long time. The atmosphere feels very old, the background music feels like the old 1900s. Overall, I see this is a solid great game.
I really like this submission. Art and music were on point, and the dialogs were funny. I also liked that you made a different response for approaching the same man again. well done!
Really awesome game! P&C games need to make a comeback. Nice work!
Wow, that was some nice storytelling. I like how you managed to put that content consistently together. Also liked the art and the music. Good job! that was fun to play!
I loved that! It seemed like there was a ton of moving parts, every intractable object seemed to put a sequence of events in motion. So many ways to achieve my goals, reminded me of the first time I was playing Metal Gear Solid 3, and that is a high prise. Great job!
Good job, interesting story ! We also did a Point and click game :D
Haa! I love how I can keep bother jimmy the mechanic over and over. The different dialogue is fantastic. Ohh man, I loved the story, and the fun ways of interacting with people! Very nice game!
Really fun concept to play with. I play multiple times in order to get a good ending.Really fruitful dialogues.
What a fantastic experience! I had lots of fun playing it and after my 4th attempt I successfully finished the game :sunglasses: Good Job!
I LOVE the amount of narrative in here. I love the different options you have and I love the humor written into every piece of dialogue. Fantastic entry and a creative use of the theme!
