This game is really tense!! It's giving me chills even a day after I played the game! ;A; I can't imagine what HCF might mean though... alas... Good job though! I can't wait to see more things from you in the future!!
The music is really great, and the concept is very dark and intriguing. I find that I want to know more about the world this is set in, which is something I always love. As for what HCF stands for... Holy Conspirator Finisher? Or maybe Hyper Control Freak?
Playing the game made me feel like I was performing some kind of technology-assisted process to bring Ann's views in line with a set of accepted or "approved" norms (by forcing her to either renounce her views or be killed). So in my mind, the target of HCF is the "heretic" that is being "cleansed"... seemed like an ominous enough term to fit with the tone of the game. ;)
@Halsted M. Bernar: Thanks for playing! We're actually getting ready to record the voice-acting tomorrow! I'll probably implement it by the end of this week, or the beginning of next week. Keep watch!
***PEOPLE! HAZE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE AWESOME MUSIC THAT IS IN THIS GAME! GO CHECK OUT HER SOUNDCLOUD, AND HER TWINY JAM GAME, BALD EAGLE! (her Steven Universe fansong, Fusion Beat, is pretty sweet. ^^)***
I have no idea what HCF means but I like that I don't know. It makes me less complicit here, which eases my mind somewhat.
Very strong work encapsulating the mood and premise with few words and an excellent choice of soundtrack. I look forward to the addition of the voice acting.
Sorry it took me so long to reply...Loved HCF, it's very atmospheric, and very different (I'm always on the lookout for more original games) The moment when you find out what exactly you're doing is pretty jarring, and delightfully unexpected. As for what HCF means...I'm still working on it. I'll follow you on Twitter and let you know when I've figured it out, lol. And thank you so much for the positive comment on the quick little game I made; seeing that email pop up was...well, I needed it that day :)

Hey, thanks for the feedback!
I really enjoyed your game, it's a shame that I missed it back in the jam days.
Keep up the good work, I hope to see more of your works ;)

@Mars B.: Thanks, I'm glad to here that! And thanks for following me! :D

@RoboticaBirdie: Like both your guesses! Would you mind if I tweeted them? ^^

@Hishalea: I'm glad to hear that! Got any guesses for what HCF means? ^^
Wonderfully atmospheric and intriguing. This is sure to be something that I think about for days to come. Great work!
@dreamlogician: Just did! Thank you! :D
@Norbez: Sure, feel free to tweet it.

Hey, guys. Leaving a little something about HCF:
@PenguinSebs: Yes, that Lord of Ann's is very charismatic. I follow Him.

@dreamlogician: "Heretic Cleansing Function", huh? Hmm. . .
Would you mind if I tweet your guess?
@TopHat Haze: Thanks! Like your guess!

You should already know that I like your game. :)
I tweeted my guess a bit ago, but I thought I'd say it here: I think HCF means Hurting Christ's Followers, since you talked about apostasy.
This is genuinely creepy (in a good way). Nice work! I'll go with "Heretic Cleansing Function" as my guess for what HCF means. ;)
@Brian White: Don't worry about replying late! :) And feel free to tweet me when you're ready. I'm glad I could cheer you up with my comments.
