the game crashed on me at the begingin is this normal?

Hello! Sorry I'm only just seeing this.

It seems like the web version of the game failed to download an asset for whatever reason, likely due to a network interruption. Please try again later (if you haven't already), or download the game directly. You will be asked if you'd like to pay, but you don't have to. The game is free. 

Hope this helps!

ah i see kk sounds good and it does help

would you like to translate the game into Russian or Ukrainian?

I wonder what Elis is up to now? This was short, but sweet. Thank you ^

Glad you enjoyed it! Fun fact, this game was a vignette taking place in a larger setting that would have eventually explored that very question, but with other obligations it's since fallen by the wayside. 

(Though I will say it involves quite a bit of petty-but-outrageous crime as civil disobedience. It's kind of their specialty.)

this is my favorite picture. It needs more but it is good make something in it match this picture or for some reason I can not play the full game.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the menu art. The game is complete and I have no plans to update it, and this particular artwork is composed the way it is to capture the overall theme of the game.

I'm sorry to hear you suspect you may be having trouble playing the full game. Are you encountering any kind of error? While I have no plans to add more content, if there's a bug I will be happy to remedy it.

I don't get an error but after I leave Khalil's house and get the picture of the person in the mask the game just ends. although I am playing in browser so that may be the problem

That is the full game. This was a short vignette created for a game jam that explores a brief part of this character's story.
