A lot of stuff to like here, excellent visual style, great presentation and audio work, solid puzzles - it all created an awesome atmosphere and an enjoyable experience. I did feel that there was a slight tonal disconnect in some places. The setting and themes were pretty dark and grim while some of the writing seemed kind of light hearted and even jokey, but I'm guessing it was all intentional. In overall, a great jam entry!
Thank you for the feedback, and happy that you liked it overall. I'm also a bit bothered by the tonal inconsistency, and if I was to write it again, I would probably try to dial down the silliness. The thing is, to be completely honest - writing in a jokey tone is just easier, and when you're on a tight deadline, you stick with what you know ;). Hope it still works as a dark comedy!

I just love how it's humorous, dark and creepy at the same time.
Thanks Guga, glad the genre mix worked for you! :)
Interesting plot and good dark humor
