I love the style. The minimalist approach also feeds nicely into the gameplay - you're being asked to judge people based only on a rough 'portrait' allowing a guess at age and gender and a three word sentence. As I played I found myself agonising over lines like 'I'm not ill.' Does that mean she is ill and she's trying to hide it? Might she be contagious? How would the crowd respond if I shot her? Essentially, you allow the player to fill in all the gaps for themselves and try to read between the lines which makes for a very thought-provoking game. It wouldn't have been so effective if you'd made the mechanics more transparent. I had two riots before I worked out what would most rile the crowd.\r\rAnyway, I loved it.
