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.

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.
