Wow, I've been wanting to play a VN exploring those moral dilemmas, and I'm glad this one did and so well! While the first question is the only one serious, since the rest of them are either completely absurd or horrifying (Eve's reaction if we choose to save the passengers on the boat was BRUTAL, but reflects alas too many despicable views, but I'm making it political dfdfg). The puppy climax was absolutely excellent!
On a technical standpoint, I found the GUI very well done, it did reminded me of these governmental sites which haven't been updated since 2003, and Eve was very well designed as a mascot. The game respected perfectly the restrictions of O2A2, and yet managed to do it in such a clever way!! Congrats on the team for this great game!!
No worries, stuff was already political. I (and the rest of the team) am still shaken by the recent European election results and art is and always has been a great outlet for that 😅
As for the GUI, that's exactly what I was shooting for, so I'm super glad it came across the way I wanted it to!
I really enjoyed this! Very effective satire. The boat question was brutal—it reminded me of a related question in the Voting Advice app for the European elections.
Oh wow, I didn't know something like this was in the Voting Advice app! I'm not surprised though, as this game was inspired by the last European election.
3 endings sounds correct. (Spoilers:) The "compliant" ending, the "swat" ending as we called it, and the "kill eve" ending.
The idea for the game seems very fun, but I couldn't actually play it. It just displayed an error message-
"While running game code: File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 275, in script python: File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 275, in script python: File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 1621, in <module>
Exception: Could not set video mode.
The game exited unexpectedly.
More information may be available in the browser console or contained in the log."
If it matters, I'm running the game in-browser, on firefox, on windows 10.
Downloading the renpy log didn't seem to yield any useful information, and although maybe someone who knows how to read code could see something there, I don't want to make this wall of text bigger than it already is.
I saw that the ren'py website was down yesterday, so I'm wondering if maybe it needs to establish a connection/load some more assets for the web version from their server and that broke it? Could you try starting it today/some time from now and see if the issues still persist?
The error message refers to code that is supplied from ren'py itself, so if this wasn't just temporary, I might get into contact with the maintainer so they know about it if it's a bug with the engine.
If you want to send us longer error logs, you can also send us an e-mail at nothack.europa@gmail.com. Thanks again for letting us know~

How many endings are there? I found three :D

Hey, thanks for the heads-up!

It worked today! Thanks for the response, game was very fun. Would hate puppies again.
Great! I'm glad it worked out and you enjoyed yourself :)
Really enjoyed this! It reminded me of governmental surveys I've filled out...though with less puppy murder of course!
Glad you had fun and thank you for the comment!
