This was a very interesting concept. I got a real old school adventure feel at first then did a few actions and was shocked to see them summed up in a short news story at the end of the level. Trying to imagine how that was achieved blew my mind, well done sir!

Very interesting concept. Definitely fits the theme very well. I like how it all is summed up in the end. Love it!

@BluMist Thanks mate, that was indeed the main concept I was exploring. It would be probably more interesting if I had time for more scenes and more comments by the critic.

Nice game! I haven't grasp what all those icons are for, but i managed to kick everybody out succesfully xD

@Gamepopper Awesome.
@dix Some of the icons are just emotions which does not do anything by itself but in conjunction with your actions they affect the final review by C.B.

I really like it ! The concept is really cool, and the end screen really add a lot to it. Good job !

Minor issue :
I didnt see the actor the first time and pressed right so he left the scene immediatly and got stuck on end screen.

The icons are a bit confusing and I didn't really know what was happening to me and what I was doing, but the concept is really great.

@sprawl Thanks. Good point I could have blocked any movement apart from left in the beginning.

@Wuschli I was worried about that, since my drawing skill are terrible. And as to what was happening to you, you were cheated on :)

@Vidsneeze The C.B. is really picky, one wrong emotion and it goes from amazing to horrible.

Good concept, but gameplay was a bit dull. Couldn't really figure out what to do as well, perhaps some player feedback after clicking on a button would be nice. I like the part where the newspapers showed up, gives you a sense of accomplishment :D

Very nice and funny concept, the stories are great, but a little bit of hint what I can do would be also nice. :)

Great concept! Perhaps it could use better instructions, I didn't really understand what was going on on my 1st play.

So, there's just one scene, right? We never get to see how Sasha does? =)

@playvue :) Unfortunately I spent too much time coding and not enough time making the content.

Hi there. Interesting idea casting player as director/playwright. Didn't get very far, I think I missed how to change characters. The offstage guy came in, talked, professed love, but nothing much else happened. Didn't get to any scene end. Liked the music.
