It is something, and something very good, in the form of a ttrpg scenario.

I’m at a loss. It did go ove rmy head when I read it and it became very clear when I read the second zine. But that’s nocht part of the jam, so what to do now? Didn’T help that I shrugged of a lot by not knowing the system and thinking “Must be something from that”.

It’s fascinating. It reminds me of my own submision on steroids. It makes total sense and I guess in the system its written for it works by all the questions asked?

I don’d think it would work that well in a more literal, crawl-centred system, you seem to made the right pick.

Overall I’m struggling with this, but not of something you wrote, but because of something I read. Unprepared, uneducated.

A fascinating peek into kaleidoscopic cosmic horror.

The Metaphor add-on is a great addition in helping to understand the science & thought process behind this though-provoking Incursion. It’s also very nice seeing more Trophy entries!

The layout is a bit visually busy, but perfectly emulates the style of hand-written lab notes. And while I never prepared live bacterial cultures, I do remember prepping slides when I interned in a neuro lab for 3 years, and this is a haunting role-reversal for me to consider lol. Good job!

Wow that was very unique! I dig it.

A really fascinating read, well-written and laid out in a unique way. I think you kept it clear but evocative the whole way through, and I like your use of highlighting and also the copy font you chose. I also learned something, which is one of the standards I apply when deciding if a game is good :).

I like the layout approach and story. Makes me want to run Trophy Dark again.

H. pylori is one of those microorganism that has actually bothered me for years. Very interesting to see it in this perspective. 

Submitted

This felt like a fever dream on all the right ways. 

The idea of breaking encounters down into Terrors and Temptations was very cool.

I actually figured out the Metaphor of being an invasive microorganism very quickly, but was glad that there was a companion piece to give me more information about the thought process.

I like how inventive this one is (it took me a moment to realize what's going on, then it was even more effective)! As a fellow Trophy incursion submitter I'm glad I've checked out your entry.

Incredibly poetic and so emotional. Would've never guessed the actual inspiration for this. What a wonderful place your mind must be. 

Little, little ones, I'm so very sorry. (Takes the antibiotics.)

I haven’t played Trophy Dark before, but playing as a bacterial organism seems intriguing!

Submitted

I've only played Trophy Dark once but I can imagine playing this with a growing sense of dread

Whoa, so it's a journey inside and then outside as you become the specimen for microscope use?

Developer

Indeed! Psst... but the bacteria doesn't know that!
