Pretty solid game with some interesting level design to it. I loved the style of the art and what you did with the dialogue boxes and the writing was really well written (even if there was WAY too much of it) This was fun to play and figure out how to get through!

I really liked the 'cut scene' style. Small area with dialogue. I could see this type of thing working through different scenes.

In the main game, I really liked the aesthetics. Simple but effective game play. I liked how you left little snippets on your current situation/what's going on throughout the levels. Made the story more interesting and the ending left me wanting to know more! :D

I enjoyed your writing style! Thanks for making and sharing this game.

I really liked the graphics, and the overall presentation was excellent. The only issue I had was that the game was very short, which made the difficulty have to jump rather than grow steadily, but obviously there is only so much you can do due to the time constraints. The writing was definitely the highlight for me, and the story was still intriguing and interesting despite the game's length. Great job!

Great game - the text is a bit hard to read through when you just want to play :) Thanks for joining my channel!

Nice! The stealth mechanics - hiding in shadows, waiting for cameras, etc. were fun. I liked figuring out which doors to go through to go where. Good stuff.

Great game, great mood. Story was interesting, but could have delivered differently.

High mood score. Nice entry. I love pixel art, and animations are nice. Stealth gameplay is quite basic, but it work very well. As many said, I wish it was longer, because I liked the writing and story looks something that can be nicely developed. Good choice of music, bravo.

Neat graphics and stylized music.

Fun and neat gameplay.

However, the intro dialog is tooooooo long

Great story! I want to know more!

I hoped that the game finished with "to be continued..." to be sure that you're planning to keep working on it, because the story is so intriguing.

The soundtrack choice also is perfect.

The only downsides are:

* it is too short, but you focused on the story and in my opinion it worked, since I want more!

* I know that I can press spacebar to skip the captions, but a full "skip scene" would it be great. For this prototype I think it is not necessary, because the most of the game is in the story so there's no need to skip it, given that unfortunately at current stage there is almost no replayability

Great work and please continue!
