while it does loop the same the scenarios, which may put some people off this is definitely something i will come back to often, purely from how interesting it is to me
This game caught my interest but I don't really have a working controller, is there any way keyboard controls could be added?
The reason I didn't was because I had to read out the controls in the tutorial and all the complication of detecting what the player was using, plus recording extra voice lines was too much for a jam experiment. I'll try to add them in today and just post the keyboard commands in the description.
