I like this. I think we need more space for games like this, little reflection/musings/logbook rambling that never tries to be good (and that’s why they’re good). A more playful look at creating things, to let go of perfection/polish in the era where it’s easy to compare with just everyone and everything. And it’s ok for ideas to be shelved, resurrected. recycled… and I personally think it’s also okay not committing in any one hobbies. I have a lot of hobbies and I sort of cycle between them. Sometimes my pens are gathering dust… sometimes it’s my tablet… but I go back to them eventually, and if I daresay myself better each time because things build off one another and no artform is isolated. You draw sometimes, you write sometimes, you still get better eventually even if it may not compare to people who does one thing intensely. And you still make things, so all is well…?
that's what I feel like I should say after playing this. nice to meet you. sorry if that's weird, lol. I just played "apparition/existence" and then several more of your games so it feels a little like... wow, this is the person that made those! hi!
it's hard to put into words exactly why but I like your games and I'm glad that you're the one who made them. thank you for sharing
I keep thinking about this... I guess sometimes intentionally bad is just unconventionally good!
The room transitions are so nice, each glimpse of another scene brought me so much joy :> Also I mean I just love games and talking about games and making connections between the games I love (Citizen Sleeper!) so of course I love this it does it beautifully. Good luck with your projects!
thank you for playing! i'm happy you enjoyed it :3 thinking about how games are similar and different and what they're trying to do is really interesting to me. also citizen sleeper 2 is coming out at some point, i'm really excited for that :)
Oh wow. For an intentionally bad game I thought it was very good. If you wrote a book I'd read it cover to cover. So fun! Why don't we let ourselves let loose more? So charming!

(What is THIS trying to do, the pondering has begun)
really enjoyed this in a museum/rambling blog kind of way, and as a bonus it reminded me i need to finish Citizen Sleeper some day. nice work.
edit: I think you should make the radio station game, I really like the idea of games scoped to a single location and job. for example Papers Please
tysm for playing! you're right, you should finish citizen sleeper :3
thanks for the support! i'll finish that one eventually
