This is a interesting concept and I do love to see new approaches to what a "game" is. Enjoyed the atmosphere, though I got stuck in Chapter 2 and never got past that.

Also liked the idea! Nice work.

Interesting! Ideological justification for literally burning entire continents never gets old!

Nice try on describing the story with game maker. Hope to see more narrative interactions like selecting continent to bring democracy in the game.

@tory, yeah, sorry, it's false-positive. For some reason Game Maker compiles games like this =\

Very nice tale of a future of the world being told in a western point of view. It is quite funny to see how you burn everything and then somehow everything blew up in a short time. I really also like how the world order UI break.

Wow, this is really cool game! The mood of this game really set the corrupt, and horror tone of war. Great job dude! Like others said, if you had more time, i think this could be a really cool narrative driven game.

Interesting statement, but it would be good to have some kind of tutorial.
I totaly love your map and scale sprites tho!

The concept of this game is very different from what I usually see in jam games, and it come acrosses it clearly, I would have liked some form of tutorial, but it was a good game nevertheless. You can defenitly add on more to this game with time, great job man!

Interesting concept! For what it's worth, I actually had no problems downloading and made it to the end no problem. I kind of liked how it was disorienting and you had to guess how the controls worked. The pace of the story did feel a little rushed, but obviously that's because of the jam's time constraint!

Interesting idea. I thought the game would be more specific to Vietnam since the intro focused only on it.

Great atmosphere and writing although, I do wish it was longer to make a more lasting impression. What was there was well made though.

Really interesting, definitely stand out as a piece of art

This is a very unique and fun idea. Nice work! :D

As a former pol. science student of international relations, the grains of truth in the chaotic comedy made me giggle. Well done!! Wish I could have seen the perspective of the other 2 or 3 "great nations" :D

Привет! The game is really unique. It took me a while to understand it. It's really fun and has potential.

Nice to meet you guys! The game has cool atmosphere: the first and the last chapters were creepy. Graphics are simple but supports the atmosphere. Remarks on polishing the game: window is pretty small on 4K display, so it is hard to focus on things. Good job!

Рад встрече, ребята! У игры классная атмосфера: первая и последняя главы нагнали жути. Графика простая, но поддерживает атмосферу. Заметка по полировке игры: окно довольно маленькое на 4K экране, тяжело всматриваться. Хорошая работа!

Some thoughtful essay. My world is a full disorder now...

Very creative game, is the game only three chapters? The game ended after I pressed the button.

@xiyou, yeah, game has three chapters.

Веселая арт-инсталяция. Атмосферно=) Тревожная музыка на фоне очень помогает вливанию в происходящее. Правда мой отвратительный уровень знания английского языка оставил в темной зоне достаточно большую часть повествования. Но по визуалу я вроде все догнала=) Молодцы=)

@terabyte, спасибо тебе большое за поддержку! Гляди, вот здесь можно менять язык, мы специально добавили русский язык. Текст, действительно, довольно сложный, поэтому лучше играть на родном языке.

I'm going to forego my political opinions, and just say that this was a fine piece of art. It really has the potential to educate people, if expanded and gamified (to keep their attention and make the experience more interactive/persona1).

Makes me think someone should make a "Call of Duty"-style game, but if you die once, you're DONE. No checkpoints. No mercy. You start back at the beginning of the game, or your mission failed and you have to live with the results. Might make people re-think how "cool" war can be and how "badass" they would be under the circumstances. The poor are dying, to keep the rich in power.

Dammit, I said I wouldn't be political, but this game got me heated.

That was interesting and unique. This was probably the most serious "game" I "played" this LD. It definitively fits the theme. Good job!
