Extremely impressed with the way you tell the story! The dark theme, the art style, and the gameplay, they all complement each other really well. Totally love it. Great job on your first jam!

The Last LanternConcept: nice little story, fits the theme very well. I really liked the subtle story things like title screen flashing for a moment, hinting that what we're doing in the game is not right, or the ending screen telling us to let go of this game, drawing a parallel with the story, cool stuff.
Gameplay: it's simple and mostly a device to convey the story, nothing extraordinary but it does it's job well. being able to fall of the edge of the screen is a kinda weird though, breaks immersion a bit.
Art: the spritework is very pretty, especially the backgrounds and level art. Some sprites like the characters feel a bit out of the place though due to the inconsistent pixel sizes.
Audio: the music is pretty fitting, matches the atmosphere of and the story well. I feel like the game is a bit lacking in sound effects though, some actions like dying feel like should give some audio feedback.
Overall, very nice submission with some rough edges. For your first game it's very impressive!

A Slice Of LifeGreat storyline, and a bite sized puzzle platformer. Really like the mechanic of a "buddy" that helps you solve the levels.

Soul Assistant (Game Jam)Very cool take on Necromancy. I really liked the scenes and the overall plot. I felt so bad for my sister, but I still revived her at the end. Nicely done!

Death LightWow this game was really impressive. I had a low expectation when she died the first time, then I understood the game. One of the best of this Jam so far for me.

Revival of the ChosenVery nice! The gameplay is straightforward, but you use it to great effect to tell an intriguing story! It was also just the right amount of spooky. Great job!

COSMIC CORPSESPretty short, but the story definitely got its message across well. You really showed that their sister was coming back more and more as something else. I was half expecting her to attack you towards the end or something. Nice Job!
Submitted
Bone VoyagePretty short and straightforward story platformer. I chose not to bring her back because it felt like the lesson the game was teaching. Pretty simple, the gameplay was definitely second to the story, which is completely fine

Empowerment AfterlifeThis is great! A nice short spooky story with gameplay that complements it nicely.

Raveyard NecrodancerFantastic. This is like a story (great story, btw) and adventure game fit into one. It really fits the theme and brings a whole Pet Cemetery feel.
