Even though GMTK doesn't provide an official overall score, most teams put effort into every category. We made this ranking by averaging each game's category scores so everyone can easily compare their overall performance
Hey thank you for letting us know, someone else scraped the data, and there we got place 10: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FGjF_zpUvzjgF8nvU_jLtxi1NjvwSqhbCA5_Jc9Z...
It seems like: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4820688 is missing from your scraped list.
10/10. Really, there's nothing else to be said. Impeccable atmosphere, amazing voice acting, incredible graphics, I could go on and on just praising things with "adjective" + "noun".
I especially loved the red herrings, forcing you to actually read the text rather than just skimming through and looking for keywords. I don't know if acids and bases can actually be hidden (as the notes mention) because that never happened in any of my runs.
I don't know how this game could possibly be improved further, but this is easily the one game in the Jam that I'd love to see get expanded.
My one singular, pedantic piece of criticism would be that "Ctrl" just makes you slower, which seems pretty useless. I wish it would make you crouch instead, making it easier to pick up items on the bottom shelves.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to all of us. We will definitely keep your thoughts in minds when working on a post-jam patch!
Crazy cool game, the voice acting is phenomenal and the gameplay loop is pretty creative. I appreciate the compounds required changing per run as it adds replay value. Took me a second run to figure out what I was supposed to do but eventually figured it out, this *might* be problematic for onboarding perhaps? I did enjoy having to figure out what I'm supposed to do so I'm not sure where the balance between handholding and discovery lies here. Absolutely no complaints otherwise, big fan of horror games and this one had a super interesting setup.

OMG I was watching your stream but now I see your itch.io profile I remember playing your game in last year's GMTK jam! How cool to find eachother again! It was a blast watching you play our game. Thanks!
OH. Seeing that you made LETHE explains a lot. That was one of my favorite games last jam and I can see that same narrative energy being carried here!
So awesome! Voice acting was cool, atmosphere was awesome. Havent played any other horror themed games this jam so this one really stood out!
Thank you so much for the feedback and the kind words, it means a lot! :D Am surprised to see there aren't many others this year, too.
Greay Game but Unfortunately It won't allow me to play it ;) :( .
Aaw that's unfortunate, thank you very much for trying though!
Yooooo, its really cool! So creepy atmosphere even if u replay it over and over))
Really liked art and visual, music also sooooo fit here, voice are so cool.
Can u give me some advices how to reach such results on visuals? U really did a great job, good luck with this project <3
You really did so much with this game, the emotion in the notes is great and the room helps even more to set the stressed out tone of dread. I am a huge fan of this game, only downside is that I couldn't actually beat it but that's just a skill issue i think.
Wow, don't know what to say. Thank you for sharing all that, it means more than you'd think. :) And don't worry about not beating it, the game isn't meant to be easy - the patients wanted it that way hahahaha
I didn't sleep to finish my game on the last day in this jam, with the amount of quality here i want to belive you didn't sleep through the 4 days?
Jokes aside, i loved it! The visuals, the gameplay, the narrative, the ambience, all perfect! An Game Jam game with voice acting at all is impressive let alone with such quality.
Hahahah we know the pressure XDD
We are honored, thank you so much for such kind words, it means a hell of a lot! :D
Not much a comments needed. Very well polished 5 minute masterpiece.
That's some big words, thank you very much for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You've tapped into a really great gothic aesthetic, and using pH as the subject for the game's puzzle is really inspired. Its a great game :)
Thank you for the sweet comment PEEDGANG :)
Love the presentation! The voice acting was great. I would have loved an outline on the medicines though as it was very easy to lose them in the dark.
Thank you for playing and leaving feedback! I totally agree with that.
Love the artstyle and premise of the game, felt like a chemist who was bound to lose, havingt to figure out how to survive by scraping all the other notes, well done!
Thank you for your kind words!
I love the vibe of this. I like that you have to read between the lines a little bit to figure out which ones are good and which ones are bad sometimes. Running around and frantically checking your notes to make sure you dont get yourself killed creates some great tension. Great work!
I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for sharing your thoughts, means the world to us! :D
I enjoyed the game. Visuals and audio are pretty cool.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I really liked it! The game's atmosphere is wonderful, and the voice acting is good too
Thank you for your kind words!
Very cool atmosphere! Saw ur team, I actually just watched dogeased's video on making the fly thief game for their first game jam
Thank you so much!!! :D
What an amazing game! Very cool concept even though it was testing my reading comprehension :D
Haha thank you for your feedback, means a lot! :D
I gotta say...I need to know more lore! :D
The idea is that the player is a doctor at an unnamed facility and used to conduct various, often cruel experiments on a number of patients.
The patients, however, had an uprising and decided to take revenge on the doctors working at the facility by putting them in their position, reflecting all their pain and past harm back to the very people responsible for them. They are gambling with the doctors' lives as they inject every one of them with a mixture of poison for which there is an antidote, however it has yet to be made.
The patients gamble which doctor lives and which does not, and after many deaths, some doctors come up with the idea to write down their findings - it seems their symptoms are very similar, so later doctors begin writing down ingredients they think would work in the creation of an antidote as it seems they are all injected with the same poison. So the notes you can find are all written by previous doctors in hopes of being able to help a future doctor put in their position. :D
Well, that, or they've gone insane and writing down their last thoughts is their only escape mechanism from their situation...
Thank you for asking about the lore, it feels nice that I could put it out there like this somehow! :D
Very interesting! I need some kind of sequel game :D
This is really great had a blast
Thank you very much! :)
Damn! I wasn't excepting to get into a saw experience. I thought I was waaaaasting my time reading the notes carefully at the start. It really stressed me out but it helped not injecting myself with too much random stuff ahah. Oh and I looooved the voice acting. Good job!
Haha thank you for the feedback, it means a lot to us! :D
THIS IS SO CINEMA
YOURS TOO, and thank you as well! :D
