I adore the art style, the game itself is gun and the game plays nicely, love it
Unfortunately the game doesn't start on macOS (latest Chrome). In the logs there are something about the fmod initialization. But screenshots and gifs look amazingly well!
@gamescodedogs We’re very sorry that it’s not working. This is really sad news for us. It never even occurred to us that something like this could happen. We told our sound designer to keep things quick and simple, but he wanted to level up his FMOD skills :)
Cool Visual, Keep going!
Aesthetic is really cool, I like the fish character!
Hey Chef! Really beautiful game, the newspaper aesthetic and the sounds nail the vibe perfectly
At first glance I already fall in love with the graphics, with the old cinema styled intro and newspaper style (not sure how to describe it). I like your itch page decorations as well. Funny how the characters burp out their words. The motion and screen movement are really smooth and it is interesting to play, filling out the pages and making my own decisions on which content to fill. The stamp is very satisfying and I actually have the urge to stamp the full page.
I love the idea and the style! Keep going, your game has potential!
Great aesthetics and visual style! Great game!
Gorgeous art and lovely music! It really makes you feel like an office clerk in the early 1940s.
The art style is absolutely gorgeous! I wish the game had a Chinese translation, as I had a hard time following the text, but I still felt really immersed. Great job!
The game is absolutely cool, but it looks similar to The Republia Times.
The concept of balancing the ‘official' story against the raw rumors really gives the game a compelling tension. It's fascinating to play a character who is navigating the difficult line between making a profit and making a real impact on the city. You've created a fantastic premise!
Wonderful game! It feels simple but doesnt get boring. Style and audio are also great and they only add to the atmosphere!
@arfenalis @eugenik @1ncors @anku @naidove Thank you very much for your kind words
Very cool mood and graphics. I really enjoyed reading the little pieces of news (I did not read all of them, there were a lot, but always good surprises).
I also really liked the camera effect.
There is not much to critic here :)
@tomtomgome Thanks! We really put in the effort—everyone on the team worked on their own articles :) Some even decided to create their own illustrations for them.
A lot of people have already mentioned it, but the visuals really are awesome! The sound design is great too.
And the game as a whole is really well put together. It's just a pleasure to play!
Really cool theming and presentation. The art is great and the presentation is a complete package. Nice use of the gameplay elements telling a cohesive story. Great job!
WOW... Fantastic art style!!! Same goes for the gameplay. I find it hard to keep track of the dialogs though, cause they kept interrupting me in the beginning, and I didn't realize they can affect the plot. A notebook keeping track of what had happened would be great, and the frequency of conversation could be reduced, giving more time for core gameplay.
@crotonyl-alcohol Yeah, now that I think about it—following what you said—it actually makes a lot of sense. We did have some other ideas for polishing the game, but we just ran out of time :(
@strega @aterim Many thanks for kind words
A fantastic interpretation of the old technology theme! Running an underground newspaper in a world where dictators control modern communication is a compelling premise.
10/10 for aesthetics. I played through a couple of times to get the different endings. Seems like what you actually put on the paper doesn't affect anything, so much as the dialogue options. I'd recommend making that clearer. Everyone still pays you if you promise to run their ads, even if you don't actually do it. Otherwise, I loved it~
@maakole Yes, unfortunately, we didn’t manage to refine these aspects—we simply ran out of time. It’s a real shame; the game could have been much more engaging—for instance, by creating a stronger connection between the newspaper and the dialogue, incorporating more branching conversations, and having the newspaper actually influence the game world.
Stunning visuals and such expressive characters! I'm having some fps issues, so the game keeps freezing. Пожалуйста, добавьте локализацию 🙏
Cool concept. I'm hooked. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous.
Good game, nice visuals and music that never gets old. Definitely has a Papers Please vibe going on. The whole time I was playing I assumed the money piling up on the desk (why doesn't the janitor pocket it? haha) didn't affect anything, but turns out it seems to influence the ending. Not 100% sure though. The text in those cutscenes scrolls by really fast and I can't keep up with reading it. Reading the news entries is a bit inconvinient too. Other than that, super fun game! Really addictive. 🍦
Love the aesthetic, and the game is really fun!
The art in this game is simply beautiful, as is the music! The artistic direction they chose couldn't have been better xD, from the character designs and color palette to the drawing style, everything is truly incredible! I found the concept and the story to be brilliant, and it’s a lot of fun. Congratulations, great work!
@emaigualmc2-art Thank you so much! Our artists and audio designer will be over the moon seeing this. We really wanted the world and aesthetic to hit hard, so it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the vibe and the story. Thanks for playing! 🙌
Great game! It's well polished and very complete. It's a cool gameplay loop too. As often with these kinds of game (with tons of text), sometimes it's a little bit hard to tell if a text is meaningful or just here for filling up space but no big deal. Congrats!
Very intriguing, love the theme/setting. I fought for the people and the secret police got me 😩 hahah
Игра очень понравилась, но без русского мне тяжело). Процесс игры записал, будет интересно можешь посмотреть. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2910447474
