Day 18 - Peace On Earth had me really intrigued with the plot/story of the game itself. (Trying not to give any spoilers here) What happened to Amara? What kind of circumstances are the characters even talking about? What happened to planet Earth? And what is the severity that this situation poses on the setting of the game?

I mean, it's not like much crucial information is given when the player interacts with other characters, which leaves so many questions unanswered, but still leaves the game up to (maybe?) interpretation or so.

If there's even a true answer as to what is going in this game, I'd be highly interested in knowing and I would really appreciate as well.

Hiya, I'm the dev for Peace On Earth! Glad to hear you were intrigued by the plot! This game actually serves as an Easter Egg of sorts for another HPS1 game that has not been released yet. Originally it was planned to be released before Madvent, but the deadline came and went, so it's being held off for now.  Keep an eye out for another HPS1 release (hopefully) early 2023 for further context on this short story!

Dude, that's great to hear that you're making a continuation of the story about what's going on in Peace on Earth. Really left me in shock and confusion as to what I even witnessed in game itself.  Can't wait for the next (installment?) HPS1 game when all the pieces are in place and the anticipation for the story of Peace on Earth doesn't leave me hanging when early 2023 arrives. Also, nice job on the execution/cliffhanger vibes (maybe?) that Peace on Earth gave off overall. Really sets the tone of the setting/plot of the game as a whole.

Thanks for the great feedback! The upcoming game is another collaboration effort, so I only wrote and created one segment of the game myself. Peace On Earth serves as a kind of "side story" to the events happening within the upcoming game's narrative, with a few direct references sprinkled through the dialogue. Not everything in Peace on Earth is relevant however! I hope you get the chance to check out the new game when it eventually releases, I think you'll like it!

I thought that reference was more like a dev, hey I worked on this, not shared universe. Cool to know what is going on down on earth. Though, spoilers, I don't think I'd call it peace.

See, that's the kind of vibe I got from Peace on Earth when the ending cutscene rolled around. (Spoilers, probably) looking at the color of the Earth itself and how the main character just kind of had a lack of enthusiasm in saying "Merry Christmas... everyone..." makes it seem like there's some sort of hellish scenario going on in this game entirely. Nice take on the horror aspect of indie games. 

Anyways, kudos to you OctalOtter on this submission and kudos to you Vladimere for organizing this entire project as well. This is a one of a kind type of Christmas gift for the whole itch.io community :)

Oh, I bet I will, since I am a fanatic about low-poly/PSX games. Looking forward to your contributions and games in early 2023 then! :)
