Theme: Nothing is what it seems

Content Warning:
This game contains labels and stereotypes that may be offensive or hurtful.

But the more you play, the stranger it feels.

Will you keep going?

i loved this concept! I'm a fan of games where the mechanics are the message.  Great game and amazing moral of the story.

i wish to see this game but longer and more consepts i really like it it reminds me of the impossible quiz form back in the day or like a ui standly parable

interesting game

I saw "Too much" according to it cause I didn't put anything xd

(also is this supposed to be all caps?)

(+2)(-1)

yes

It means you value the people more than their labels lol
