Here are some screenshots of the game:

I started writing about this about a year ago. I was a business school student and we had to prepare a lot for consulting job interviews.
But most of the practice cases were boring and not entertaining. So I decided to create some fun ones.
It was actually my most successful blog post:

This year, I decided to turn it into a real video game!
This is only a first draft version. I'm trying to see if there is an interest in these type of games and if the gameplay is entertaining enough.
I have tons of ideas for other chapters and also to make the story longer. Let me guys know what you think!

Areas I would like feedback on:

- I really love pixel art, but I'm not a designer. So I completely bootstrapped the game using real images. what's your feedback on that?
Would the game work better with proper pictures?
- How is the gameplay? At the moment of placing the order did you find it easy to understand?
- How are the sound effects? Surprising enough? I bet on the atmosphere rather than music. Is that a safe bet?
- Is there too much text with at the airport stage? does every destination take too long?
- How do you think are the dialogues? I tried to give some life to them but I'm unsure of the tone for some.
- How long did it take you to solve it? Should I increase the length of a main adventure or create several small chapters?

Very interesting topic and artwork. What technique did you use to do the pixelization? I especially like the airport and the guy with the gun one.

Hi! I took beautiful stock pictures and put them through https://pixel-stitch.net

I wanted to have a functional prototype as soon as possible to see if there was any interest in the storyline.

Cool, I think some of the patterns it creates are really good. I'm going to play around with it for a bit.
