and the music help to create a wonderful atmosphere
Amazing pixel art and the music is very atmospheric, great job !
Wish it could be a little longer. Most of the choices were pretty straight forward making the game very easy (Naked android in the street? nothing unusual here ! you may proceed ! XD)
If you plan to iterate on this game, I would suggest adding an exposition level that fill up and lead to game over if you're too careless in your actions / decisions & make the choices more ambiguous (more greys, less black & white) & maybe add a third or even fourth option to every decision to make it a bit more tricky ?
Appart from that, pretty solid jam game & fun to go through. Good work ! :)
A few of the in-game consequences felt weird and unfair. Why does it help AI take over the world if I refuse to work on a sex robot?
Overall a really cool and thoughtful experience. I'd like to reiterate how good the art is. (SPOILERS AHEAD) I keep thinking back to that killer android from the ending, absolutely chilling. Great work with this one 😄
