I wasn't expecting this to get the visibility it did... but I want to say thank you to everyone that took a few minutes of their precious time to play through this.

I made this on a whim yesterday. It's inspired by many of my experiences talking to folks in the AI space. While it paints a grim picture, I still have hope that we'll find a way out of this mess in the future.

I also want to give some recognition for the visual inspirations here. The characters are inspired by one of my favorite indie games: Death's Door. I played this in Seoul a few years ago and ended up not sleeping the entire night just to play it. It's very affordable (even for undercrows), and will probably inspire many more of my future works. Not getting paid to say this - I simply think birds are cool.

Remember - if you keep grinding, you might just be able to don that top hat...

Cheers loves!

Are you familiar with Molleindustria? [1] (Oiligarchy, Unmanned, Every Day The Same Dream)

I think your game would fit quite well in that collection of "political" indie games. Which, in my opinion, is high praise.
