Well done
Enjoyed the game all lot, played it first in normal but then switched to easy.
Killer game over line!
Good entry :D
I didn't have enough clues to figure out most of the choices, but that did not interfere with the well crafted story.
Well done guys!
The graphics were excellent. Sometimes simple is best; very effective!
Lots of subtle animation and cues.
I basically got through each scene by trial and error and retrying.
Some criticisms: intentional or not, it was kind of hard to tell from a few sentences alone the thoughts and opinions were of the opposing force, even in Easy mode. As such, it was hard to tell how well you were performing in convincing the town's population. I wouldn't say a score or meters are necessary, but some sort of indicator, such as facial expression, might have helped. Writing alone was too cryptic.
I didn't realise at first I was actually supposed to react to what they were saying, but that was just my silliness. It looks simple, but has a certain charm to it, and the music is pretty good (and fitting). The concept is somewhat innovative, even though I had to repeat the first level a couple of times, it didn't feel too grindy. Though maybe (for the first level / tutorial / easy difficulty only), it would be nice to give some feedback to the player when they fail, so they know how many they've got right.
The credits were fun :)
