This is a really well made little point-and-click adventure by @MatthewJFrith. Made for a game jam but it looks professional as hell. It reminded me a lot of Beneath a Steel Sky in both the futuristic cyber-punk setting and the pixel art.

The pixel art is phenomenal - really excellent quality in style and animation. Seriously - look at this hungry panda... so cute.

Panda!

There is no voice-over which might have been cool but understandable not to include in a game of this size.

The game itself was pretty simple with the character locked into a scene until you figure out the puzzle. No complex branching puzzle or narrative. The writing was very good and fit the world and style of the game. It's not big - maybe 30 minutes of gameplay but still cool and fun.
