How does the game fit the theme?
Our game takes the theme 'Trust No One' into the natural world through the lens of brood parasitism. Players observe a nest of seemingly innocent chicks that also consists of a few impostors designed to perfectly mimic the others.
Because the parasite survives entirely on deception, the player must adopt a mindset of constant suspicion. You can't trust their cries, you can't trust their appearance, and if you blindly trust the nest, the real chicks will die. To win, you must doubt everything you see.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All VFX and sounds.

I won, yay! It was quite difficult to watch over them, especially when you figured out which vomited and then they all crumbled together.
But interesting concept you 6 worked on.
After learning how to observe, the game became really interesting. I like this design and the art style is also very unique and creative.
Thanks for your kind words! :D
I loved this game!! I love the idea and the execution was so on point. The art is really cute too.
I had trouble recognizeing the parasites but smashing all the birds that are together works pretty fine.
Thank you! We actually have an information graphic on the game page to help you spot the parasites!
I read it but didnt fully undertand it at first, I had to read it again once I playerd a little bit to understand it
Super cute art and the whole "observe the birds, then pick the parasite" idea fits the Trust No One theme really well. I liked using the items and marking birds with right click, though it took me a sec to understand everything and stacked birds can get a bit messy haha. Still had fun with it, nice job :D
Thank you! Glad you had fun playing our game :D
I quite like the design and the gameplay is fun but confusing at first. the art is superb. I don't know if it was intentional or not but the birds would say void update and a few other code like things i mean sometimes I thought it was intentional like bird!=parasite or something like that. I do like how the birds all have some interesting dialogue quotes. I wasnt quite sure what the point of the food was but I get the stones help you find the parasite birds.
Yes, it is intentional! Thanks for noticing the dialogue :) The food is to help you trigger one of the parasitic signs.
Top game. After a rating of nearly 100 games, I can say this is the one that stands far above the rest. I expect to see you near the top of the ratings. The art is superb, both in the game and on the ItchIO page. Great game mechanic.
I have one criticism: on the web page, there is a wonderful diagram explaining the game; why wasn't it in the game, say, under a button labelled "instructions"?
As someone who also implemented foot stomp in the game, I appreciated that moment.
Well done.
Thanks for your kind words and critique! Good point, we shall add that in in the future! Glad you liked the stomp :)
Very cool game! I like the bird designs. very cute and unique hahaha
Thank you :D
Love the idea, the art style (reminds me of Les Shadoks), and humor!
Omg wow Les Shadoks looks so interesting! Thanks for loving our game :D
Very cool concept!! And also love the art style with creepy bird. I think the only thing is that the game finish quick if we find all in the first day? But other than that love it! (like the Update, FixedUpdate on their head lol)
Thanks!! Good job finishing on the first day :)
The art is fantastic! The bird characters are designed with so much personality, and the sound design really helps build a great atmosphere. I especially love the UI transition when night falls — paired with the sound effects, the texture feels absolutely superb!
Thank you! We poured quite a bit of love into the birdies and sound design thanks for loving them!
Cool game. Short and sweet. After 3 tries I managed to win on the first round !
Yay! Good job!
Loved the art and the whole social deduction game. Kinda hard to select birds that were stacked on each other. Using the items to figure out the bird's behaviors was pretty cool.
Pretty chill game!
Thanks for liking our art and concept! Oh no the birds were supposed to shift away from each other before the elimination stage starts :( perhaps it was a bug.
visuals and music were amazing in this game, I did have problem when birds with same skin would shuffle among each other and that made distinguishing which was which during elimination phase pretty difficult, but that might just be part of the challenge so yeah overall well done
Thanks for your compliments! We do have a marking feature which you have to right click on the bird, hopefully that makes it easier to distinguish!
I love the art in this game, the bird designs are so fun
Really sick concept as well
Thanks for taking the time to play our game! Glad you liked the designs and concept! :D
The art style immediately gave me Don’t Starve vibes. The moment the bird claw slammed down was really funny。 Sometimes they say “Void Update” and “Void FixedUpdate”—is that an Easter egg? They look really cute when they eat. Nice work!
Parasite != me hahahahaha.
Thanks for playing our game! HAHA the bird that says void update and void fixed update is a robot bird XD. Thanks for the compliments!
