A good incremental game :thumbsup:

Perhaps a bit long for a game jam experience. Well done for your participation!

Really simple, but told a fun story of survival and choice. I was a lot more engaged in this than i expected. Really great job. Would have loved to see a tiny bit more polish on the art side to increase the atmosphere, but otherwise really solid.

Incremental games are always interesting, but this one lacks graphics and a story to understand what’s going on.

I embraced the cult.

It's difficult to understand. A little more information or a tutorial would be helpful.

Balancing food and water was interesting. I think the thing that brings it down the most is I can't actually idle. Clicking outside the window stops the timer from what I can tell (Firefox) and the events that occur also seem to pause the timer. The ability to redistribute points and balance them going up and down is very Armory & Machine, a mobile idle game that is one of the best, so you are in good company there. Have fun out there!

A pretty good incremental game with a hint of story. Overall, it was interesting to play, but at the beginning nothing is clear, even though the mechanics aren't revealed all at once. Thank you for the game!

Got a few survivors and was fun time

Suprisingly varied game, solid amount of content! Could use some kind of simple map of places found to have at least some visualisation. Interesting to play though!

Nice survival game!

It's super annoying that the assignments reset when a survivor leaves. I had about 100 survivors, and unlocks an extra, leading me to going into minus, resulting in all my survivors being unassigned. I try to spamclick to reassign, but before I get them back on track, I'm so much in minus that another leave. Rinse and repeat while I try to spam assign people back in line, and survivors leaving one by one. When I finally get out of the death spiral, most of my survivors have left, and I only about 20 left.

I had no clue what the point of starting and stopping the car was?

You managed to do a lot with a little. Good job!
