Really interesting concept of inventory use here.

(This text is a bit hard for non-native speakers) Everyway I liked the idea of switching between states

@Caridorc: Sorry about that. It is rather text-heavy, and the text is pretty dense.

In general:

I would have liked to do more with the inventory system (even though it is very rough around the edges): It felt a bit stupid to have the player go through nearly 3/4 of the game with an empty inventory. At least I got all the bugs out of it, or so I hope.

Pretty cool. I liked the idea of shifting states. This could be developed into a really satisfying longer game I feel. Good work for a weekend!

Nice idea and well-written. My main criticism would be that I often felt I was merely guessing the correct response, and more often than not I got it "wrong". As such I grew somewhat detached before the end of the game, but good job nonetheless!

Also, from the very first scene: "You know the man to your left... The woman to your left is very young...." - are they both to your left?

@alastaira: Guh, completely missed that. Yeah, that was simply a typo.

Proofreading is the first casualty of LD.

Very deep and kind of depressing. But I was satisfied by sticking my hand through the cult leader. Would be nice if the background or font changed depending on the state.

@deathray: That would definitely be cool! If I ever make a post-compo version, I'll see if I can work that in.
