Life of the Only Rational Scientist

very good looking :)
and the music help to create a wonderful atmosphere

Interesting game! I like the idea of having to stave off the AI Apocalypse. The artwork was great and the jokes were pretty good (I'm in love with the roomba!) Kind of confusing at first though, and although the sound and music help to set the mood, it does get a little repetitive. Overall interesting take I like it!

Very atmospheric game, I liked the idea, visual implementation, music. Thanks!

Really nice piece of game ! It's funny and a little too real also ^^
Amazing pixel art and the music is very atmospheric, great job !

Cool concept ! It fit the theme very well. The music compliment the ambiance nicely & the art work is really cool looking

Phenomenal job setting the mood and tone. It's rare to see a Ludum Dare game tackle such a serious, existential theme. You drew me into this world and story with the beautiful pixel art -- I particularly love how many little animations there are! -- the moody, tense music, and the excellent writing. The choices felt real and meaningful, even though they were just yes or no. I think this is because each choice/scenario was so different and unique from the others, with very different potential consequences.

A few of the in-game consequences felt weird and unfair. Why does it help AI take over the world if I refuse to work on a sex robot?

Overall a really cool and thoughtful experience. I'd like to reiterate how good the art is. (SPOILERS AHEAD) I keep thinking back to that killer android from the ending, absolutely chilling. Great work with this one 😄

This a big theme and mood to tackle for LD and you've done a great job, especially considering the time. While a lot of the choices were quite straightforward/obvious, they were still an interesting idea and I could imagine something with more ambiguity / greyness being really effective. Nice job :)

Mood and tone are definitely huge this in this I agree with others. The differing pixel art for each scenario was a nice touch and overall was an interesting take on the theme!

+1 Music
+1 Art design
-1 No meaningful choices

the music was great, i really liked the decision making aspect to the game. I found myself to be scared of making decisions without thinking of what could be the outcome. Good job!

Great mood, theme and premise. Some of the choices were interesting, some where odd. But overall I thought this was a great idea and take on the theme! I might play it again so see what happens when I am really suspicious...

I had great time. Needs some connected choices. :robot:

Definitely well-written choices, though I don't know how much they mattered. Good music, good art.

I really like the dystopian atmosphere. I think this is a great idea and take on the theme!
