Deep in the vastness of space, far, far from any chance at rescue, The Long Division is beset by pirates, aliens, and criminals! Systems are down, tensions are high, and every decision is life or death - you're going to have to solve this on your own, captain! Do you know your crew and officers well enough to figure out what orders to give and get out of this mess alive?

Well, that sure was, uh, something? Going for a FMV game is always something I admire. I will say though, I can't really understand what the plague doctor is saying behind the mask

A very, very fun entry! I would have appreciated a bit more guidance on what I was supposed to do to get it right.
The shoot must have been a lot of fun to do—you can really feel that you had a great time making it !

Every time I do a LD jam I make an effort to play these FMV games.

No specific feedback other than to say keep being yourself, team! I can tell you're having a lot of fun and it really invokes that 90s era of FMV games.

Long live Bad Engineer, you precious soul you. Loved all of the different overlapping elements that made losing still fun!

I finally managed to win the game! :smile: I had a good time it was (even though on some dialogues the voices were low, so I wasn't sure what they were saying. Good job guys!

That was very fun, I loved the characters. Subtitles would have been nice to follow the story more easily.
Also, sometime I didn't understand what was happening, why some characters changed set, or things like that.
Still it was fun, with a nice mood ans music. I played it like an abstract experience.

I always knew I could do it.

Oh man, I remember Mythical Mediator all the way back in Ludum Dare 50. Both these games make me think of the advisors from Civ 2 (one of the best things in the entire franchise even now XD)

Couldn't quite manage to solve it, though - I'm assuming that not just the assignments are important, but the order as well (a la Grow)? I figured out the right choice to deal with the Alien Run Amok but none of the other combinations I tried seemed to work with anything else @_@;

10/5, absolute cinema! I am happy to see another brothers and sisters of mind, who makes not a game, but art.

Incredibly charming, it was quite difficult to find the correct order for the different persons but the game hints towards the right solution pretty well.

I love the cringe videos :D - it would have been nice to know more about the crew, so I could have a chance to survive :D

@robobarbie @braktheman @ryusui

I’d like to thank you for being returning players of our silly little games!

We all always look forward to seeing who recognizes us from previous jams. It’s one of our favorite parts of the whole process.
LDJam user 23863924 Apr 2025, 00:36
That was amazing. It took me a while to figure out the solution and I almost gave up, but I got it! My only nitpicks are that the music volume gets reset whenever you click retry and some of the clips have audio that's too quiet or too loud (SNIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF). I had a great time playing this, was laughing so much.
