Form exchange - main mechanic involves the exchange between the sister and her deceased twin brother's form. Sanity Exchange - in order to deal damage you have to exchange your own sanity for it, to deal double damage you exchange constant sanity drain (brother's form).

This was one of the best games overall! Great job 4.5/5 !
Hey there, I am trying to get other to re-submit their reviews for my game if possible...it was deleted and removed from the Jam on accident based on a technicality which was solved between the Jam Host and a particular asset used in the game...please if you have time, energy, and/or generosity to re-saved your ratings/reviews for the game. I am going through and re-saving yours given my browser kept your rating saved data on my end...but it looks like I lost all 73 reviews and ratings from my end.... :( best of luck to you in the Jam
Sorry for the inconvenience if you have a chance to rate/re-rate
This reminds me “FAITH: The Unholy Trinity” a lot. Great visuals and extra credit for making it by yourself!
Well done, the fantastic art is awesome and scary!
Fantastic art design. Bosses visually look great but very easy. Game is easy in general, almost no challange.
I really like the artstyle of the game and the music is great!
Maybe it was just me but the bosses where a lil' bit more easy than I wish they were.
I would have liked if there was more reason to use the sister, the only parts where I used her was to recover sanity, the brother was just too op.
Amazing boss designs and sense of scale on stages. The use of color was another positive for me. With a little bit more content this could be a commercial product. Great job!
love the visuals! wish there was even more swapping.
The game's gimmick makes it really tedious to play, the 1st 2 bosses are almost the same design
Visuals for this game are awesome! Very well done, gameplay was solid though I wish the mechanic of swapping between the two was more prevalent. Would've been cool if the sister had to damage certain parts of the boss or if her attack was weak but ranged. I felt like I only switched to the sister to just regain health quick which is fine but I really would've liked if she had more uses.
good exchange mechanic. second boss attack is little too low. Just stand there and tank with sister form.XD
Fun game
Truly beatiful game. The artists went hard and should be super proud!
The gameplay was a bit simple to many. Most of the projectiles never had a chance to hit and it was very easy to stand close to the boss and just smash it (I have similar issues in my game).
The theme was very well utilized. You give up health (sanity) to attack and also when you take damage. The more you risk going low the more damage you can deal.
Couldn't play it :( Only got the tutorial texts appearing and nothing else for some reason
The art in this game is so well done! Beautifully cohesive color palette and creepy boss designs that gave the game a great atmosphere. I enjoyed the concept of switching bodies for the theme. Overall I liked the game and would love to see more in this aesthetic.
Great game! I feel like the second boss is harder than the second boss. Other than that, I enjoyed the aesthetic, gameplay, and use of text!
A little variety in sound effects would be great too!
Very fun game, struggled at first with fighting, but got a hang of it after some trial and error! Big fan of the visual direction reminds me of FAITH which I really like! Great Work :D
This is an incredible well made entry with awesome art and a very nice mechanic. It was kinda easy but literally awesome
Really nice game. I liked the atmosphere, and the art is unique. The only thing that disappointed me was the game over screen when I lost my sanity. I was hoping for something more unique, like a secret ability. Or maybe just a unique way to lose, like a story thing (you become one of those monsters or something like that). The way it is, it just feels like the HP label was changed to Sanity. Other than that, this game is one of my favorites for this jam. Really good work.
I really love the atmosphere of this game. It has a nice tutorial (I actually died in the tutorial, I laughed quite a bit at that), and the art is just amazing. It's increadible what you can do with just three colors, really great job. The bosses felt a bit simple, but this game is all about the art and atmosphere, and with the sanity exchange mechanic, I don't feel like it would benefit much from having harder bosses since then you'd have a really hard time managing your sanity. Overall, an amazing job, really good game!
Great art and controls. I loved the boss designs. Really fun.
If you are interested, can you please play my game. It would really help.
Cool style and aesthetic of the game! Found out about crusifiction weakpoint only on the last boss tho, but second and first weren't much of a challange anyways ... Good responsive controls are quite neat.
Overall - great game!
