Bad End Prelude!?
You're on your way home after a late Friday night when you find yourself being accosted by a suspicious "policeman"(?) who seems to know more about you than he should. What's this guy's deal?! There's only one way to find out...
Enjoy(?) a short conversation with a cute(?) policeman(?) who has a bit too much of a crush on you.
This short-n-sweet game was made for O2A2 Jam 2024! In accordance with jam rules this game is a micro-vn containing no more than 1000 words, 1 sprite, 1 background asset and 1 bgm. It also contains 1 choice and 2 endings, and was made in 1 weekend by 1 developer, though these things aren't jam requirements.
Play time: ~5-10 minutes
NB: Title aside, this is a standalone game which is not intended in particular as a real "prelude"/part-1/first chapter or anything to any planned work, therefore is not in violation of the O2A2 rules. The titular "bad end" isn't something we necessarily ought to expect that we'll experience- the story is a short vignette that doesn't depend on any other works in order to be read and presently has no related works to accompany it.

I am in love. This man is all ive ever wanted.
THIS IS A JOKE BY THE WAY))
Hahahahaha, well y'know, "'Bad' in both the complimentary and insulting meanings of the word" was really what I was aiming for, so I'm glad to hear it 🤭 Thanks for taking the time to write :)
I've never been so baffled of how this guy check all the complete list of leaving some lasting impression where I feel weirded out, while he's a source of this ticklish amused laughter and amusement. absolute quirky nutjob representing the freaky emoji 🥴😏🥵 combination perfectly.
this guy is the good example of the word creep and weirdo like if i were to search up the definition, this guy would pop up as the image in my mind. this guy is the stranger those parents warn about to not talk and engage with. this guy is probably the one getting impostor role in among us and the werewolf in those card/board game every time where he either suck ass or ace it there's no in-between (since he manage to
stealget the uniform and pull off kinda convincing facade of a police). the phrase "set off alarm bells" refer to this very guy, a red flag so glaringly obvious you'd have to be stupid naive singleton or attracted to be approaching him (me im both)i would like to see more of him, and possibly the protag since the sprite outline is already ready there and all.. just one nitpicky issue I think personally the music sounds a bit too much of Halloween vibes? Though the rythym kinda suits the silly idk. Oh man this game is short but you know, i love it lots, and your artstyle too you're def passing up as a creative recommended fun game dev and artist in my book.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a detailed review of my vn, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate you taking the time to write.
Hahahahaha, you're pretty spot on (maybe the game's colour is red because of the strength of red flag aura he's producing? Who can say for sure 🤭)
Thank you so much for all of your kind words and thoughtful feedback, genuinely this comment is so sweet and really made me smile so much.

OKAY BUT FR- this game was really good, and balanced that fine line between horror and hilarity. I loved the Bad(?) ending, and loved the energy the music, background and character sprite all gave off. A really incredible game, through and through! I hope you can continue making games!!!!
