Cool game! Or should I say Hot! I mean its on Fire! ....Flames, I mean flames.
To whom it may concern in the Brotherhood: I hope this message finds you well. After achieving world domination for the Brotherhood of the Flame, I must confess that I feel the need to abandon the Brotherhood to join another must supreme one... The Goofy Guys. We'll take over the world!
Congratulations on an amazing work! I really enjoyed playing it - and I have not played Papers Please so now I'll add it to my list!
Dear evil diary,
I have successfully infiltrated the STUPID order of flames. Ptew ptew, even saying their name brings disgust to my lips... Anyways they appointment as their meeting guard! I get to let in as many glorious order of fire members as I want!
They kept sending me letters about letting in the wrong members but I just ignored them. What're they gonna do about it?
With this we can sabotage the stupid... other order and we will rule this planet with ease! Muahahahahahahaha.
Side note: Make sure to take my robes for a thorough cleaning, pretending to rub shoulders with these wanna-be cult members makes me stink!

So yeah anyways about the game. It's a fantastic and really fun twist on the Papers Please mechanic. It's executed really well and doesn't stray far from the formula.
The art is simple but well communicated however the text was pretty small/difficult to read at times which is concerning for a game that has a lot of reading/focus on documents. It didn't stop me playing i just had to really get close to my monitor sometimes to double check I was reading it correctly.
As you can probably tell from my entry above and the screenshot I wanted to see what would happen if I just let everyone in. Suffice to say, you lose because the other cult takes over the world instead.
The mechanic of using your cult members as a resource after letting them in is a stroke of genius and I thought was really smart.
Oh also the SFX of them falling through the trap door when you deny them is hilarious.
Loved the vibe nice work.
All my homies HATE the brotherhood of fire. They SUCK.
[Great game, good work on the jam!]
