Only a prototype, if people enjoy the concept we might add more to this. Feedback highly appreciated!
1. Check coordinates on computer
2. Grab binoculars & check map where the coordinates are
3. Look for the subject in the given area and scan it
4. Write a report about what you've seen. If the subject endangers the deer population, it has to be neutralized (sniper) and the report filed accordingly.
5. Put report file into fax, wait for confirmation and receive new coordinates
6. All Subjects for the day finished? No -> Repeat 1-5; Yes -> Take pills & go to bed -> repeat
hope this helps if you get stuck
Currently there's only 1 ending.

A fun short game with an interesting idea. It took me a bit of time to realize that I should't kill every deer :D (I should have read the tutorial more carefully). Some more player feedback would be nice, so you know what you did wrong. I would also like to spend more time observing the deers to see if there are any abnormalities, since right now you can just read the notes and you know right away. Well done!
Thank you so much for your feedback <3 There's still a ton to polish for sure, this is absolutely more like a buggy prototype than an actually finished game :D Time pressure was real but we at least wanted to share our idea of the game
