How does the game fit the theme?
Borrowed Skin is built around the theme “Trust No One.” Trapped inside a failing military bunker, the player must question each survivor’s story, piece together conflicting evidence, and decide whom to trust before the lights go out. Every decision affects who survives and which ending is reached. Even the protagonist’s own memories may not be trustworthy.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The game was built using Godot Engine and Audiokinetic Wwise with its Godot integration. We used Tiny Texture Pack 2 by Screaming Brain Studios, along with the Pixelify Sans and Press Start 2P fonts under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. All other game-specific code, writing, characters, models, props, environments, UI, visual effects, music, sound effects, voice acting, and artwork were created by our team during the jam.

How many people worked on the game?

This is such an amazing entry, and very polished too!! The graphics were stunning and the story was engaging. I do wish there was a bit more interaction other than dialogue, but that's a minor complaint because everything else was very impressive! Good job!!

Really enjoyed this one, the atmosphere and sound design are probably the best part and it actually made me feel tense in some moments. I got a bit confused a few times on what I had to do next, so maybe some clearer feedback would help, but overall it feels really polished for a jam game and the theme works really well.

I loved the story concept. It was really well put together and the use of breathing helped a lot with the immersion. I would love to see the concept on a larger scale. So far it was really fun and very well made. I loved the UI and the little quest tracker as I played while I was working and had to multitask. This enabled me to be able to find where I left off and resume. 
Overall, I would love to see the game done on a larger scale. Detective style games with a monster are a very untapped horror genre to me. I feel like I haven't gotten enough of a chance to play more like this. 
I would have loved to see the monster form of the enemy.

The game environment reminded me of Desolate or Metro

We are really glad to see that you loved the game. This jam has brought us together as and we are planning to work together in the future. In regards to seeing the parasite definitely look forward to the future, we didn't want to commit to showing the monster this jam as we like to spend time to get it just right, for it to horrify the audience and fit the tone.
