Orwellia is an aggressively monochromatic and impeccably authoritarian state. You are a dissident spy, in the capital city on compromised mission. After being perused for some time, you find yourself in a busy square with no where to go. The government is sending their finest to track down and eliminate you: knife-wielding, shape-shifting robots. The purpose of these machines is to blend in with the surrounding crowd and hunt you down. Attempt to evade your pursuers for as long as possible.

This was my first attempt at making a game. It was a great experience.
note: *lighting is pretty broken in the webGL version, I recommend downloading the game if possible
First time I played I was frustrated that I died and didn't understand why, then I read your description and tried again and noticed the subtle differences. It's a cool little experience. Very nice job as a first attempt at making a game!
I like a lot the idea and the concept of the game. Sounds are pretty nice too with the atmosphere. Congrats on your first Ludum Dare, great work! And now more to come :)
Death is a bit of an anti-climax; some animation would be nice, or camera stuff like turning to face the killer. Some stabby sounds could help a lot as well.
I wish there was some task beyond avoiding randomly moving enemies. Like, if the player could disable the robots (and maybe lose if they hit a non-robot)... or something. Yep.
It's a neat idea and a really cool scene, reminds me of the matrix. Kudos! But can the game be won? I couldn't escape or find a way to get rid of the knife suites.
This could be a start to something really good! It's so creepy giving the visuals and audio/music. I wish there was running at least, but for your first game, not bad at all! I would continue with this project, polish it up and make more to it...a story, more characters, interaction and such. Good work :)
I feel that this has potential to be expanded on. As it is, It has a great mood with the whole crowd and the tense music, but you don't really do anything except walk in circles.
I love this take on the theme, makes for an angsty experience.
