How does the game fit the theme?
Cerilia meets four friends while on her adventure, and each of her new friends has a "bad ending" where they kill her.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used the renpy game engine and documentation to code the game.

As a solo dev, being able to make branching storylines, dialogue and the art for each scene is really impressive. Good choice on the sound effects, it definitely helps build that off-putting atmosphere. It is pretty well done!

Such a fun game!! The story really reminded me of children's fantasy books like Alice in Wonderland or even The Chronicles of Narnia, but with a slightly eerie atmosphere (and I mean that as a compliment XD). The three companions you meet along the way all feel surprisingly well developed too.

It's honestly hard to believe you made all of this in just seven days. From the artwork and writing to all the little details that change depending on your choices, there's so much here to discover, and I had a great time going through the different paths!

At least I get to have ice cream tomorrow XD

Does anyone know how to get the first ending? TT

OMG!! I'm so excited that you rated my game. I thought that you wouldn't because you technically have enough ratings. 
Thanks for spending so much time on it! I can't believe you got almost all the endings.  
To get the go in circles ending you have to repeatedly take the left path from Sally's grove. It's on the 11th repeated go that the narrator will break character and scold you for not playing the game.

I had a good time playing through this - will need to go through a few more time to see different endings... I think I failed rather quickly

I liked the art and the many ending possibilities, it all tied together quite nicely and the game fitted the theme really well. 
Great job!

Great art and a great little story to play through. I played all of the endings! I loved the creepy but kinda cozy vibes. An Over the Garden Wall reference is always cool to see.

I played through all the endings and really enjoyed the dark atmosphere throughout. The story fits the theme nicely, and the art and sound work really well together.

I did run into one small issue during the Daisy ending where both Daisy and the background were missing in one scene, but otherwise everything worked well for me.

Really nice job overall, especially for a solo jam game.

Good game! I like the atmosphere, and art, and story! Good that there is a happy ending after all, who could've thought I can trust that creepy weirdo.

I like that the game doesn't take too long to complete (perfect length for a game jam), but still has a lot of endings. And the art is pretty good. If you chose to grab Daisy's hand, Daisy's image isn't loading, but other than that, everything is well done. Great job!

Biter is the best!  Great story, artwork and sound effects.  An sooo many endings.  So much death.

I really liked the world and atmosphere of the game. The twist at the end was kinda cool. I'm really impressed you was able to do this game all by yourself.
