The hand-drawn art style really works for the old-school throwback theme you're going for. I like how all the characters have pretty distinct personalities (I've no qualms betraying a coward!!), and that you've written a good bit a dialogue for all of them. Hopefully the other two in the head office get their due at some point! \n\nAlso, if you fix the brandy bug, please fix it by coming up with an in-lore justification for there being infinite brandy in the cupboard. That's really the only valid solution.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PaulLyaudet","author_uid":"1052048","time":"2019-05-02T19:55:58Z","epoch":1556826958,"modified":1556826958,"text":"I loved the art style and even if I thought it was a lake of a little move animation, after some minutes playing I totally forget that detail and was absorb by that game, good job :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rose","author_uid":"1007865","time":"2019-05-02T20:20:14Z","epoch":1556828414,"modified":1556828414,"text":"This is one of my favorite jam games so far! It's rare to see a story-based game like this in a game jam. Some of the art could use some polish but the portraits are great since because they convey a lot of personality.
