Pretty different! I like decision-making games :)

Survived until the 'reprogramming' :( damn you humanity!

Simple concept but I like the idea. The music was a bit too loud though.
Good job!

Ooh, all-powerful AI. This music reminds me of old sci-fi.

Nitpicks:

- The text at the top is sometimes hard to read. The backdrop should be less transparent.
- I have to use my mouse to proceed? There should be keyboard controls for something like this.

cool little philosophical game for a change.

Really cool textual game, with a nice universe to develop ;)

Really cool, not very often i see pure decision making games. The music really set the mood. Great jam entry!

Loved the feel and mood. Wasn't clear to me that the praise of humanity was required to exist. Kinda wish I could just keep playing through to the end each time and not be affected by humanity's opinion.

Little thing: partially transparent dialogue boxes with stuff behind them make it harder to read, especially when it's a series of white lines.

This was really good! I enjoyed the story, art and music. I wish things were a bit more open-ended but I understand time constraints. Good job!

Nice! A game that stands out from the rest (as far as I have seen). Great submission :)

Really liked the feeling of being above humanity and not letting yourself be used as a tool. Well done with the mood!

Cool game, very nice work for such a short time-span. :D
I'd love to see an expanded version.

Played it through a few times to see the different endings. Great game!

Nice game, but can you die? The comments say you can, but I won for the first try. Great music! Thanks for the Linux build.

Thanks you for all your comments :)

@Plash @ZNCatlaw Agree with the transparent boxes problem.

@eemmbbeerr Yep, there's multiple ways to get a game over :) And i'm glad to see i didn't export the Linux build for nothing :D

the music and visuals are really set the mood... I'm like back in 80s ))) Good job!

BTW, the download link says it runs on Linux - is there any way to run Unity Web Player on Linux?

You have to download it on gamejolt (same download link) for the linux version (scroll down below the web version)

interesting game, congrats on the entry! nice to see some story based games in here. nice graphics
Corné Dorrestijn5 Sep 2014, 19:46
Great story
goerp7 Sep 2014, 15:45
Great mood and a very nice take on the theme. The graphics were simple but all the more atmospheric and enhanced the sory telling.
Wow.

Good game! Very solid gameplay, I really like the concept of it. I feel like towards the end the dialog got kind of crappy, but that is totally understandable for a jam game. Nice job!
kristof7 Sep 2014, 18:38
Cool idea. I like the music and mood of the game. Some gameplay mechanic to make it more gamey would have been cool though. Still, good work!
Cake&Code9 Sep 2014, 05:38
Really unique game! I enjoyed the choices and, as others have already said, the visual and music were really well done! :)

Great music. Reminds me of Deus Ex. But those were some harsh consequences! "Game Over" seems to be looming after every choice. :) Good game nevertheless.
