AUXILIARY
You DON'T want to be indebted to a megacorporation in a not-so-distant grim future.
Play as an auxiliary worker Lisichka in a narrative driven exploration & inventory management game.
Avoid Entropy and have a wonderful day! (c) DigitalConstruction corp.
Controls:
* Movement: WASD
* Open inventory/interact: E
* Exit inventory: Either E or Esc
* Move objects: Drag & Drop
Don't stack objects of one color in the inventory to avoid Resonance! Or not. It's not like it will result in some really dire consequences ;)

I like the theme and the mood and the ambiance the best, definitely hit the nail on the head. Not sure what the tiny creatures were.
I enjoyed the visuals, the narrative, the mood and the whole inventory manipulation mechanic, but I still have no idea what I'm meant to do with all those glitches, and I just keep loosing due to resonance and entropization buildup.
I really want to try this game again, but could you write a short text description of how to properly manage the inventory, please?

(that's the same as in iframe embedded in the page)
Or you can try itch.io or even downloading it as a binary. If it persists even in new tab and on itch.io, could you tell your browser version and operating system? There may be some quirks I don't know about.
Anyway, thanks for notifying us!
But the main rules are these:
1. Resonance builds up when you have more than 33% of the inventory filled with glitches of one color. So you need to balance the colors.
2. When your Resonance is high or you enter the Entropic fog, your Entropy meter will rise and upon reaching 100% you will die.
3. The goal is to get to the exit from the level with full inventory of glitches. You will be able to sell them, expand inventory and cure entropy in the intermission.
Anyway, thanks for your response and feedback! We really appreciate it.
Overall, it’s cool, I really enjoyed it! From my perspective, things that could be improved include: the screen in collection mode feels a bit small.
P.S. Хорошее имя — Лисичка :)
I didn't know of a game centered on inventory management before, well it's a success! The overall atmosphere is also very immersive, and I really enjoyed the narrative parts (especially the graphics). I find that we're a long way from the theme, but the rest of the game makes up for that.
I would have liked a real conclusion to the story (and not an open ending, where the mysteries are still there), but I understand that jam time is very constrained.
And THE MUSIC! Oh my, thank you so much for introducing me to these artists! They're going straight into my playlist.
Well done to the team!

Woa the music is very loud! I like the limited view/spotlight effect in-game!
I thought it was interesting how the different pieces equated to different phrases! Amazing art work too, good job!
Overall though, great entry!
