Aww, this looks fun. Any hope of non-Windows builds before judging is over? Or had I better find a VM?

@diiq - Mac & Linux builds now live! Just couldn't deal with them due to work.

Loved the graphics and the sound was spot on too! If I were transported back to the Victorian era I'd feel right at home after playing this.

Sound effects are great. The idea is amazing. wish the stages were a bit faster.

A really interesting idea. A clearer signal of when things were going well or poorly would have helped -- I spent a long time trying to change the story instead of looking at the audience!

Obviously it would have been a trick to accomplish in the time, but real voice acting, and a hint that you were supposed to play a toff would have helped immensely.

Great work!

This is very confusing, but dash my wig was it also a great game.
