Do I need to pull the lever?

Thats a decision you make at the end of the game :D

I got to the lever but I don't know what to do next

Hmm. I hope I didn't leave a state where the final cutscene doesn't trigger. I rushed the game out because the game jam deadline was approaching. Once you have at least one guy reach the lever, there should be a cutscene where the president and adjutant discuss whether to pull the lever or not, and whatever decision you make should result in a couple more lines of dialogue and then a game over screen. But switching between scenes at the end was finnicky. 

Oooooh I see. I think I could get it if I tried it again, the first time it was so funny trying to get a sense of how to play.

Lol yeah, I intended to make it either more self-explanatory or add a tutorial, but I underestimated the project in the end :/
