Clever, fun and I liked the vibe. The flat character aesthetic worked for me too and liked the way it contrasted with the real party convo background audio.
Nice.
You really nailed the atmosphere-- the music in particular really conveyed the sense of being at a real party. The writing was engaging, and each scenario felt like it made sense, even the absurd ones. The resource management component was nicely integrated, and I'm glad it wasn't made too much of a focus-- it made the writing feel more central, which was the strongest part of the game anyway.
Areas for improvement:
Not a whole lot. Other people have mentioned that more graphics might be nice, and I agree-- I liked having a single background image, but switching places based on location could be cool, and the main menu could have been a little more professional. It didn't feel all that connected to the jam theme.
Overall;
Really fun, well written game! Thoroughly enjoyed!
It's a nice game, there's plenty of options to keep you entertained.
