Creepy!  I thought the game was very engaging.  Once I grasped the idea of replacing the organs it was very satisfying to try to swap them all out.  And the art is awesome!  Thank you for making a weird game I had a great time!

Good game and nice controls! Really like the doctor character and introduction. My only nitpick is that it would be nice to have some kind of a trash bin to toss away those imperfect rotting organs once you have a suitable replacement (old organs really clutter already small workspace and often left me confused about what organs should I put back in)

Nailed the grotesque atmosphere in both visual and music. Love the aesthetic. The gameplay is very well made, only issue I had is time issues with blood loss, meaning that sometimes it went out really fast and didn't have time to refill it. Nice work!

 It's a nice mechanic that the player is under the obligation to use the mutated organs to buy time and make the patient survive. Unsettling and original, a very nice submission.

It was gross, it was macabre.. I loved it! The social commentary on mutation and life was intriguing. I found myself scrambling to rearrange the body parts to get to the infection. Died at the kidneys. Nice cozy horror game!

Graphics are super grimy, in a good way. Pretty original take on the theme. Well done.

It's not my jam, but the art style is so well done. I wasn't able to finish even though I replaced the organs as soon as I could, the poor guy was losing bile like crazy. Very good job!

Wow

Music and specially graphics are on point.

the only issue i had is grabbing limbs if you place them a bit outside the tray. some times it would not register the clicks

Art is wonderful. I really liked it

Wow ! The game has a great artstyle and is very polished ! The mood is very disturbing (in a good way)

Great job !

It looks very interesting, but I don't understand how to use the medigun. It just doesn't work for me?
I still believe it is a good game

Developer(+1)

Ahh yeah it's not super clear about the Medigun, thats our bad. You have to click the organ with the tip of the gun not just any part of it. Thanks so much for the kind words and for playing!

thank you, the game is really fun!! definitely one of the best games out there. I like the it's pace but I would love to play it at a higher difficulty.  hope you will update it in the future

Really awesome artstyle and vibe!

Definitely one of the most original games I've played this jam. Incredible use of theme. Quite atmospheric and tickled those fears of surgery. Drag and drop could use some work, and some more medical tools/procedures would have been a nice ramp-up on difficulty. Good job.

I was fully in on the unsettling  body horror presentation, great all around. I could name MOST of the organs that I was replacing.

Very fun and very atmospheric. Not to mention a very... interesting use of the turtle
