Wow. Nice work. A lot of dialog. I can take a leaf out of that book.

The premise and non-linear story telling was interesting, but the language was a little awkward and I didn't get the robo rampage and was denied my catharsis. :expressionless:

Impressive how much effort you put in the story! I liked the game, sometimes the presentations(gameplay) were a bit short compared to the story, personally i would like to play the game a bit longer before the conversation starts. But good work!

The story if short but well written and very well told. I loved the aesthetics and the atmosphere of the game.

Cool story but I wish the gameplay was longer and more complex. I also wish it followed the theme a little more closely.

Not much gameplay, alleviated by a cool story, but English is a bit approximate ! You're mentioning chatgpt in the game, it can help with the language barrier.

The character illustrations are so dramatic and well done I love it. They definitely made me more invested in the story + dialogue

(en) Great work! A cool story, even if a bit predictable (I thought that some dude was sitting inside the robot, but anyway). Yeah, this English is a bit rough. I imagine it's kinda hard to understand for non-speakers. This is the first story-based game that i've played in this jam, but it got me hooked the whole playthrough. Gameplay with robot itself got a bit simple and lacked definition and fun, but I can understand that this was not the point. Some sounds were a bit loud, but it's a horror element, i guess...
P.S.: Great remarks about blockchain and neural networks. Gave me some laughs! I hope you're doing well in Ukraine. It's hard to speak from my position, but I wish you and your family only the best.

(ru) Отличная игра! История хороша, хоть и слегка предсказуема (Я думал, что в роботе сидит какой-то чувак, но все-таки). Да, с английским туговато. Предполагаю, что некоторые места трудновато понять не носителям языка. Это первая игра с уклоном в историю, в которую я поиграл в этом джеме, но она меня затянула на все прохождение) Геймплей с роботом простоват и не хватает чего-то прикольного, но я понимаю, что упор был на другое. Звук в некоторых местах громковат, но пусть это будет элемент хоррора...
ПЫСЫ: клевая отсылка на блокчейн и нейросети, поржал) Надеюсь, что у тебя сейчас все спокойно в Украине. Мне трудновато говорить с моей позиции, но пусть у тебя и твоей семьи все будет хорошо.

Кстати, тут не так уж и много текста, если хочешь, я мог бы помочь перевести его)

@beebster-games you are not suppose to run it in your browser through the index.html, you have to run the Game.exe executable file if you are on Windows.

If you are on Linux, Wine might be your only chance to get it running.

I like the premise and it is impressive the ammount of text produced for a single jam.

Now, this is my personal opinion, but I saw pretty early were the plot was going. I would have preferred to know better the main characters than the 4 flashbacks being a mere build up for the ending. (This is my personal opinion, disregard as desired)

It is clear you put a lot of effort into the game and the story. I could not write that much story in a weekend AND put together a game, too. I am impressed. Very nicely done.

I'm blown away by the amount of narrative, backgrounds and characters in the game, it is quite rare to find such a developed story in a jam, great job.

A gripping story, it was interesting to read. I also was hoping for some robo-rampage :) Maybe in the next part of the game? ^^ A cool take on the delivery theme. And the gameplay part you added with pushing the packages is pretty nice for RPG Maker. I enjoyed the game and I wish you all the best and the war to end as soon as possible! You guys got it. Freedom is more important than anything!

So much story done in such little time. Liked the approach to the theme. Good job!

I appreciate the concept and it's remarkable how much content was generated for a single jam. The narrative was succinct yet comprehensive. Your approach to the theme was commendable.

However, just sharing my perspective, I managed to anticipate the plot direction quite early. While the four flashbacks served as a buildup towards the conclusion, I personally would have appreciated a deeper exploration of the main characters. This is merely my viewpoint, feel free to consider or disregard as you see fit. Good job overall!

cool story. Pragmatically, the ending amused me a lot and I'm impressed with how much work you've done... although more gameplay is missing, but the game looks great and finished.
