Love the style, big fan of it!
unfortunately like a lot have said already I was not able to finish a single round. At first I was confused about what I was even looking for, but the more I played I started to notice what's suspicious, but I still could not find enough suspicious things before the timer would run out, they showed too infrequently for m to take all the photos I needed. maybe I am missing more things I should look out for, it would have been super helpful if you showed exactly what top look up for with example images or at the very lest if it was explained more in detail what to look out for

How does the game fit the theme?
The main character doesn't trust anybody.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was made from scratch except the font, and the level music, but these are still unique to the game.
How many people worked on the game?2

Every time you take a picture, the spawns reset, so there should always be an imposter on screen, and they also spawn frequently on the sides of the screen... there's never a period where there isn't one on screen. Figuring out the differences for yourself is half the fun to me, personally. I would've liked to make more of a tutorial, but attempting to squeeze difficulty out of this idea in such a small amount of time proves pretty difficult.
holy lord the polish is high, it may be simple in terms of gameplay but i loved every part of this, AMAZING job both of u!

Cat CatastropheThis is a functional game that looks and sounds fantastic (Kind of reminds me of old Newgrounds games), but I think the differences were too hard to spot and info on how you increase the sanity meter was kinda vague. Loved the bizarre horror monsters to contrast with the cute art style, though.

Oogle's Murder (Game Jam Page)Really really lovely presentation and concept! I adore the art it looks super duper clean, but i felt finding out who the fakes were to be very difficult.. Would love for you to try our game too!
Submitted
SchismaticVery nice presentation. The UI and menus are really charming, but I found the game to be kind of confusing or difficult. I played several times, and could barely tell any difference between any of the characters, to the point where it felt completely random. Really cool concept though!

Treasonably IncompetentI've been getting varying mixed thoughts on the differences in the fakes, I think I'd change it up if we come back to this idea. The difficulty is very intentional! I considered the part where you're figuring out all the differences to be a separate part of the game in of itself, maybe I could have done more to point towards the fact that that is how you're expected to play it. It's not random! There's always one on screen.
Love the fact that the character is just noticing people looking at him for the most part lol
I think if you click the bottom right, it takes you to the next level so I assume that's a debug thing left in
Loved the style, loved the art.
My main gripe is... I WANT TO FULL SCREEN!!! it's so hard to tell what you're meant to notice and it's tiny on my screen. Also it was a bit too subtle at, I only found like 2 characters acting weird outside of the obvious spooky ones.
Overall loved it tho!!

Treasonably IncompetentNice graphics! I gave it quite a few tries, but unfortunately I couldn’t win a single round. I couldn’t quite figure out how to tell which one was the alien — they all looked the same to me! I even tried picking some random pictures, but no luck.
The intro was sick!!!
Anyway, I had a lot of fun trying! Nice job!

Fade AwayWHAT THE HELL!? this game looks awesome... the game's intro took me off guard lol. the gameplay is pretty fun, but i think the changes between characters are too subtle. it would also be cool to see pictures of the original characters on the right side or to have a little bit more sanity. that said, i still give the gameplay a 4/5. it's one of the better-made games. good luck! EDIT: ohh and it would be cool to have an option to fullscreen that game

The General of LiesIt took me quite a few rounds before realising I can move the camera side to side so it's not just a small area hahaha. Really love the art, and the bear's expressions are amazing!

The Madmans RoomAMAZING, I havent beat it yet, but I am having a good time with finding different strategies, anomalies, etc.
Submitted
Return To Sendervery pretty visuals, the character's head kinda reminds me of old doom the way it interacts with things even things like looking left and right. the gameplay is a bit confusing at first with the picture grading but once you get the hang of it you really feel like you are paranoid. thematically this is a 5/5

WaveringI felt similar to the rest of the comment section here. Loved the art and the vibe but was confused by the gameplay. Seeing Good and AWESOME when taking photos made us lose sanity - which we understood prety fast but then the WEIRD moments were not happening as often as we would like and past 50% of sanity you already couldnt see anything so it was pretty tedious. Refining the loop would do wonders here :d definitely creative!

Leave Grandma AloneTotally. Part of the appeal to me was how mysterious and vague it initially is, you're meant to figure everything out yourself, but the jank can kinda mess with that. We rushed out a lot of it but a bit of tinkering and the game could turn into something really good and fun I think. Thank you for playing!
Quite difficult, maybe Im not so good at it. Felt weird that when I take a photo and it says "good" my sanity still goes down. I like the other parts

Rations, please
