*I think I might have accidentally made two logs for this game oops*

Okay well, I work a graveyard shift and we have lots of spare time so I figured I would put it to good use and play.

Oh man, is the ship sinking. Things are getting messy. And my staff is becoming so touchy it is hard to operate. The budget is putting real stress on both me and staff especially when I am having to send out more man force than necessary on simple missions because they dont feel safe (because I suck as an official and entrenched our department in the mafia. Im telling you let the idiot BURN Kendrick). Im really exhausting and overworking my crew to hit basic needs and its getting harder and harder to have any clean ends. Im definitely starting to feel like a real sleeze ball with some of the calls I had to make to keep the department floating. (nothing like killing off an officer that asks to many questions am I right?)

Im still really in love with the graphics style. Especially now that I am further into game play. It feels almost propaganda esk which I think is appropriate for the message that is being communicated. It also makes it easier to focus on both the game mechanics and how royally screwed you are in the story line morally as this poor sap of a chief.

I do maintain that the actual mechanics of the game play are a little route. Repetitive but I think a good choice for the narrative.

Nice job Atticus. I agree that the art style for this game complements the gameplay and definitely fits a propaganda aesthetic. From what I gathered from your gamelogs it sounds like you are having to make a lot of tough decisions and that there racking up to make it harder for you to make the ethical decisions you would like. Are you finding that the decisions you make are paying off, and if not, do you think making a different choice would lead to a better outcome.
