NOTE RE POST-JAM ENTRY: Due to the pixel artist being overseas, a connection problem in the final hours of the jam meant the art for character facial expressions and an extra background were not received until after the deadline. I would hate for those assets to go unseen, so they have been included as a Post-Jam entry. The entries are the same otherwise. Thank you for your understanding.
A Visual Novel that's part 60s futurism, part theme park, and ridiculous from start to finish.
The ISS Subculture used to be a unified craft of all of the galaxy's weirdos and outliers - until they all split apart to their own custom Planet-Cities, connected by a maze of transport tubes.
As one of the only Peacekeeper Corps officers on duty, you must visit the Reps of every Planet-City, solve their problems, and maybe do battle against a gigantic Space Cat.
Pixel art and art direction by Gordon Shier. Script, coding, and photoshoppery by Nathan Blades. Assistant scriptwriting and proofing by Phil Baxter.

As soon as the Jam ended, I rushed over here to find out what you'd made, haha! Despite being pretty short and not introducing the difficulty your last entry did, I really liked this. Character design is great as always, and you've really captured that "VN Feel" in your new setting. Great choices made with music and mood.
Favorite character: Probably Manuel. He's got the best outfit ;]
Pretty interesting visual novel with some nice graphics and really engaging music. The main objective fits the theme pretty well and some of the dialogue was quite funny.
Oh man, this was amazing! Overflowing with personality, I adore the character artwork, the general silliness and bizarreness of the story and situations was perfect. Definitely one of my favourite games from this Ludum Dare I've played.
Man, you never fail to deliver on the funky, ridiculous, wonderfully enjoyable visual novels! Beautiful art with great music choices too! <3

Cool, another RenPy dev ^^. Err, the game was rather...original, to say the least X). I'm still wondering what I just played to be honest... Have mercy on us, Galaxy Cat. (Is the "I heard that..." a Spoony reference 0__o ?)
Well, it sure wasn't particularly puzzling VN, but still very pleasing to play, with all that dialogue and such (and enough points of interaction not to feel overwhelmed by lengthy dialogue sequences). The humour was great as well; I quite enjoyed all that absurd. I guess my biggest complaint would be that graphics felt inconsistent in some places. ^^"
