Beautiful game. Love the jellyfish ⚡

10 out of 10 because this game is designed by my professor ;)
This game expanded on the classic question of whether you would flip a train track switch to make the train hit one innocent bystander while saving the lives of everyone on-board. The idea of this game is very interesting and can definitely be expanded on.
I'll probably keep on adding to this review as the semester goes and eventually turn this into a full fledged game critic ;)

As a suggestion though: Despite this game's similarity to Papers Please (the player chooses a person's fate), most decisions I made in this game did not feel difficult because
1. The player has little emotional attachment to any characters (The most interesting decision in this game for me was "the ones who love you vs. the ones your love". Real emotional investments were present here.)
2. There are no lasting consequences to the player's decisions.
I suggest creating one or more recurring characters with their own personalities and stories. Once one of them is killed off, that person would never show up again in future rounds. Harder decisions would make this game so much more fun and if an accumulation of all decisions can impact the test result the player gets (and even the future of human drivers lol), it'd be amazing. (Here's the twist. Because this game is an exploration of the complex nature of morality, and in most situations there is not one choice that is necessarily "right", perhaps this game should not have a "good ending" at all.)

This game is absolutely astonishing! Took me only two days to finish the entire game (14 hours). The story telling mechanics and logical puzzles in this game are awesome. This game is art.
