Liked to play your game. It is very exciting.

I liked the descriptions and effects that immerse you in kinda gloomy mood. However I have lack of variety in the gameplay. I wish have more actions to do. Anyway great entry!

I think the descriptions for a jam are a bit too verbose, but this is just my personal preference, as I'm not into text based games that much. Also some commands could've had some alternate versions, like battle -> attack and fight.

Sadly I was not able to play it because of my antivirus but the idea sounds fun and the name is great :D

I didn't think I'd be so invested in raising my mighty army of cockroaches, yet I spent a very unreasonnable amount of time trying to get as far as possible :')
The ambiance is amazing, it's incredible how such a minimalistic interface can immerse you in another universe !

Oops, I didn't see my end coming =D I really liked it, I wish there was more content and maybe a little bit less to read, cause I ended up skipping a lot, but at least there was this button to skip so it's great. Thanks for the ride !

A very beautiful retro shader especially liked how images looked through it. The constant white line flashing effect is a bit of a nuisance. The descriptions of the battles are intriguing. The descriptions, sounds and slower nature of text-based games create a nice ambience! 👍
