The jam was a whole lot of fun again, and I'm quite happy with how the game turned out. But I got lost in details a bit too much and didn't manage to get everything in there that I wanted, such as: - sound effects (though it does create a certain atmosphere without them) - better storytelling / writing / endings - a second game mode (highscore survival) - balancing changes and accessibility settings to adjust the difficulty a bit (the game is probably too easy on the violent path and too hard on the non-violent one, even though that's part of the message) - improved visuals, especially animations and player feedback - and more...

I hope to get around to making a post-jam version as I'd really love to address these things someday. And to clean up the messy code :D
