Good job with the atmosphere! Very tense and unsettling!
Thank you so much
TV is evil! I knew it! They want revenge!
Other than that, it's a really nice game! I played it to the end with pleasure!
Thank you so so much!
very interesting game with spooky setting, the hospital was quite creepy. i also liked you added multiple different rules and switched between them, that made the game feel fresh
Thank you so much for your kind words !
This was neat. I would have liked to have the option to save or not, and to have seen the consequences of my actions at the end.. Instead the TV just stopped talking to me 🤷 I still enjoyed end regardless, got a solid oh! out of me!
Thank you so much! And yes more was about to come but ran out of time and only did it 3.5 days due to work haha
This is one of the games I've played which went heavier into the story - and it worked out very well. I think the card game was very simple to play and "win" against the TV so I don't know if there were any special outcomes for losing but come to think of it that was probably intentional given that ending!
I wanted to add more but had work and did this game in 3.5 days haha . Thank you for your kind words!!
I knew that tv had something planned, never trust a tv that wants to pay cards! :D Nicely done!
Haha yup! Thank you so much !
Really enjoyed playing your game! The atmosphere is strong and the visual style pulled me in right away. I especially loved the changing-rules mechanic — it kept things fresh and kept me thinking. A couple of things felt a little unclear (like what exactly triggers the win state) but overall you’ve delivered something memorable for a jam build — nice job!
If you’ve got a moment, I’d love for you to check out my jam game too:

Yes so the game was a little abstract but I was gonna add more but unfortunately ran out of time and only had 3.5 days to complete it . I'm so happy with your kind words . Thank you thank youuuu!
Very interesting game! Good job.
Thank you so much!
"... when I finished, I felt everything was building up to a big final scare or something, but then nothing happened and I couldn't do anything anymore. Idk if that was intentional or a bug, but it would've being cool if something happened right there...."
- exactly my thoughts here
Yes there was alot more I planned but I ran out of time and did this game in 3.5 days as I had work. Thank you for your response!
Really cool atmosphere!
Happy to see another "I'm playing a game against a TV" game haha
Haha yeah! Thank you!
Very atmospheric and catchy expirience.
Thank you so much!
I'd like the atmosphere and your concept! I'm not really sure if I won or not, but it was interesting.
Just in case: when I finished, I felt everything was building up to a big final scare or something, but then nothing happened and I couldn't do anything anymore. Idk if that was intentional or a bug, but it would've being cool if something happened right there.
All in all, great experience. Good job!
Yes so I was intending to add more to the story and the final Act was supposed to be so much more but I ran out of time as I had work and did this game in 3.5 days .Thank you for nice words I really appreciate it.!
creepy atmosphere :) I think I "won" all but one, but we were not sure if that was actually winning. Did the dialog just end after the reveal or was there something else to do?
So I wanted to add more to the story but ran out of time haha Thank you for your kind words !
Nice game i like the atmosphere created. Only i felt like the text and the cards where not really in sync, i mean that i could pick a card while the tv was still talking and he picked his card before he was done talking which was a bit weird. What was also not apparent(to me at least) is that rules did not stack when only treats needed to be selected suddenly the highest card won again while i expected it would be stacking rules upon rules so you have to remember more.
But i really enjoyed the game well done
Yes I was not intending for it to happen but I ran out of time and only did the game in 3.5 days due to work . I really appreciate your response Thank you!
Interesting game. This felt to me like abstract art. Or like one of those interpretive plays where you come out feeling like you learned something but you're not sure what. Very interesting vibe. Definitely a creepy atmosphere. Well done with the creepy TV.
I did not get the story. Like there was one but I was confused as to the ending. Like others, I was unclear if the rule changes were cumulative. Sometimes they seemed to be and sometimes not. Though perhaps that was the point. Overall the experience was like the game Green Glass Door, where the point of the game is to torture the people who don't know how the game is played until they get it - which TBH I hated those games. The game just wasn't for me.
Solid work on creating a game loop and creepy atmosphere. Very interesting experience.
Yes it was a little abstract but I wanted to add more to the game but ran out of time because I had work and only did this in 3 and half days . Thank you so much for your kind words and response .
I totally get that. I lost 4 days to my computer catching on fire.
Omg damn what ? You gotta explain that one haha
I talk about it in my Skele-Tom Post Mortem DevLog. basically, my brother had a better video card sitting around and had been offering it to me for like a month. The first Saturday of the jam, we both had time and it should have been a quick upgrade. Instead, the card caught fire. It was like a candle flame size. The card, motherboard and power supply were ruined. We had to rebuild my whole computer from scratch with new parts.
I really really liked the look of the game. I see you got it somewhere but it looks really nice. I didn't really understand the story. But I think it was meant to be a little abstract so maybe that was intended. I will also say I think I got a bug or something because I got to the point where it was asking me to only select treat cards and lower cards so I selected the lowest treat card and it said that I got it wrong. But I also don't know if I misunderstood and only 1 modifier applied at a time? Unsure. But I think having some sort of indicator showing what the rules are would be helpful. I was a bit confused at points
Yes I get what you are saying . It was one rule at a time but would've been better if I specified. Thank you for your response !
Some good atmosphere, and the constantly changing rules keeps you thinking. Good Job!
Thank you!
The creep factor is presented well. Solid use of atmosphere
I appreciate it!
I really like this game, especially its aesthetics and atmosphere. The idea of changing rules isn’t new, but it works really well here. Great job!
Thank you so much!!!
