I decided to make this the last game I rate for the Jam. 

Cool to see a narrative-driven title in a jam, and you sure did go hard on that, respect! 

I will say right off the bat though that I have dyslexia, so the font and the words shaking gave me a real headache lol. 

The sound design, while some parts were creepy, other parts were a little distracting in it's repetition. Replacing anxiety with annoyance. 

Also, I don't know what caused this, but the mouse cursor would not latch onto the game window properly, so the cursor was moving around on my screen the whole time.

Either way, cool entry. Glad to end on this one!

I was super afraid someone with dyslexia was gonna run into this one even though i decided on shaking font as an aesthetic choice i knew that could be a problem for some people. Glad you liked the narrative part i still didn't have enough time to showcase everything i had planned so i plan to update the game. As for the sounds (probably the voices i made) were meant to be both i wanted to portray how the entity tortures the protagonist so the feelings of creepy/annoying were kind of the goal as the samples repeat every 30 seconds. Thank you for giving the game a shot and especially for saving it as the last rating and giving it an honest shot despite the dyslexia (sorry for the headache). Cheers and have a good one!

Man, this was a really different experience. I had to play it twice just to kind of understand what was going on. Overall really cool, and that room full of mouths definitely made me uncomfortable (if that was the goal, you nailed it).

Developer(+1)

Definitley intended for the room to be uncomfortable i tried to portray what's going on in the protagonist's head having an entity that verbally abuses him 24/7 that's why the mouth motif the voices etc. Thank you for trying the game out and giving it a shot multiple times to piece together what was going on

NGL the intro was fire and the cutscenes, di you drew all this, wow! what can i say i'm impressed.

I would also like to know your insight to my game if you don't mind and thanks in advance.

Developer(+1)

Yes everything was drawn by me, i'm still learning how to draw so i am very glad you liked the art. Also thank you for taking the time to try out my game i will also give yours a shot. Cheers! :)

I can really see how you strive to draw! I am also on the process of getting better at pixel art so I can rally see you are on that process as well. Good luck to both of us. :D

Developer

Absolutely, good luck my friend we just gotta keep at it! :)

woah I love your art and the music is very fitting!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for trying out the game, glad you liked it!

I really enjoyed the art itself; very unnerving a creative.

The game had an extreme lack of polish, and the story felt very edgy.

Overall, a nice, creative take on the theme.

Developer (1 edit)

I agree with the gameplay side, i have spent a lot of time drawing the cutscene so gameplay was rushed, i am glad i managed to make something but as you said needs polish, as for story i understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea. Thank you for giving it a try! :)

I liked the experience the font is a bit small in dialogue and is hard to read small also I think at times it overlaps. Good twisted FX and sounds a nice change of speed. 

Developer(+1)

Yea sorry about that the font overlapping was an aesthetic choice but in retrospect it was a bit of a bad idea plus yea it's too small in cutscenes. Thank you for giving the game a shot! :)

I liked your digital art style, and I think the story is interesting (I say "I think" because I don't speak Spanish and couldn't follow the whole thread).

Developer

My friend the entire thing is in english, not a single line of spanish was written in

Submitted

Oh. My brain glitched, I don't speak English, sorry
