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.

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.

After learning how to observe, the game became really interesting. I like this design and the art style is also very unique and creative.

WaitGoWhereI 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.

The Murderer and The AccompliceSuper 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

TurncoatsI 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.

Decide in DungeonTop 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.
Very cool game! I like the bird designs. very cute and unique hahaha

I Am NOT A RobotLove the idea, the art style (reminds me of Les Shadoks), and humor!
Submitted
Trusty ScannerVery 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)

Red Riding HoodThe 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!

WHO DID THAT?!Cool game. Short and sweet. After 3 tries I managed to win on the first round !

Garden of TerrorLoved 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!

It Was Themvisuals 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

HellboundThe 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.
