  • Aesthetic is really good. I love the dithering effect.
  • ^ Same with music, matches the vibe very well
  • More in-game tutorialization would be nice, but after a run or two I figured out what was going on. I mainly missed out on how hunger worked, and didn't realize an offer had a delayed effect.
  • Corruption resulting in the screen getting static-y is a nice touch
  • I have awakened the great one. Cool end cinematic!

Very cool game, great job.

Developer

thank you. For awakening the old ones, we will fix these issues in future updates, thank you!

This game has a really great vibe :) The mechanics were well explained, so I was able to jump right in. Very solid work!

Developer

It's very refreshing to hear you were able to pick up on the mechanics and jump in right away! We did our best with the information, given the time constraint, but could have done a lot better with a proper tutorial, so I'm glad we did well enough for you to run with it anyway. Thank you! Love your game!

Enjoyed this game, very cool art and sounds! Love the background. Well done and good luck in the jam <3

Thanks so much! Good luck to you, too!

Very cool. The atmosphere comes through really well in the art and sound. The web version could use some shader preloading so that it doesn’t freeze when a new shader shows up, but otherwise the game runs well.

The game mechanics are explained well enough and the rest was pretty easy to figure out. Hard mode is a little more difficult, but after I learned the timing a bit better it went smoothly.

Good implementation of the timers and resource complexity to make a raising game.

thank you for summoning the old ones, we’re glad. We plan on fixing stuff in updates after the jam (maybe even a steam release), so we hope you enjoyed it!

Developer

Really excellent feedback on the shader preloading. We were a little hung up on performance issues in the web version, and I'm not sure if our programmer was able to pin down the reason (or maybe just wasn't able to implement that fix under the time constraints we had). It's valuable to have someone knowledgeable point to that, so thank you very much!

Cool game! Loved the art, music and gameplay!

Developer(+1)

For a sec, I thought our programmer (Shinkenzero) was commenting on our own game lol

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

The art and audio work in this game are awesome, I never would have thought that Cthulhu and Tamagotchi would fit together but you definitely made it work -> I was proud to see my little eldrichi all grown up 。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。

Developer(+1)

They grow up so fast. I remember when my Eldritchi was only the size of the Chrysler Building :)

ahh those were the days

Awesome game! It was a bit hard to understand what to do at first, but the visuals and shaders are outstanding!

It really reminds me of Mike Klubnika's Concrete Tremor—it has the same kind of vibe.

Awesome job!

Developer(+1)

Whoa, Concrete Tremor looks cool as hell. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation and for enjoying our game!
