I like the idea but i was confused how to chop the fish and when it turned into a human it really became creepy . Nice work btw .
thank u for playing! you actually just need to hit the right timing to chop successfully but the visual cues might be a bit unclear atm.
I enjoyed the concept. The music is good too. I would be addicted to the pill if it were IRL.... wait.. it called
DRUGno no no noooo u can't be like this !!!!
the pill vs truth dilemma concept is so eerie, love it!
yayy!!!! tysm!!! Really happy that you enjoyed the game!
I love the concept and aesthetic of this game, but I was kinda confused about how to chop at first, and I understood it later. In my opinion, this game needs a better tutorial or UI. It would be great, I will be looking for it 🐟🐟❤️
Yep, UI is definitely the part we're missing and the core mechanics aren't super great in this build either.
Thank you so much for playing! Really appreciate it!!!
oh i loved that level in What Remains of Edith Finch
great job!
yay i'm a big fan too! Thanks so much for playing the game!!!
I somehow managed to escape the 'finish' and escape the addiction. Creepy indeed, good luck with development!
Yep the core mechanics aren't fully polished in this build yet.
Thanks a lot for playing tho! really appreciate it!
Cool atmosphere, but it's a little hard to chop, I'm not sure if I suppose to move my knife 🔪 even I chopped on the right time it's still not chopped.
This give me the vibe of Mouthwashing, super creepy and cool!
thank u for playing! you actually just need to hit the right timing to chop successfully but the visual cues might be a bit unclear atm. Really appreciate the feedback and the comparison to Mouthwashing!
The current build is a prototype ver and doesn't fully capture our complete vision yet. We will be releasing a more polished update soon. Thank you!
