Small but nice game.
Fits with the theme really well.
Also it looks gorgeous and the writing is also good.

How does your game fit the theme?
It's about overcoming your fears and the inevitability of death. Death being the "storm". The game taps into the calmness of life's final moments while the "storm" or death is approaching.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. Except the sound effects.

Short. Sweet. And to the point. I like how you were able to be scrappy for the jam, but still give me a pretty good idea of the intended art style if you had time to polish. Good job!

Firing MiltonWAAAAAA, didn't expect to get jumpscared but i can’t say the arrival of the little red guy didn’t surprise me! it’s very fitting for the game’s theme, and there's a good concept to explore here :)

Noor Was HereThe art is really great and I like the ambition for the game. I think others have covered how there are just a couple rooms to click in and it seems like maybe other areas like the door in the front or the stairs weren't finished for the jam in time. That ending out of nowhere would be great after thoroughly exploring the game. I wish the objects had unique sounds for observing them. The clock is a great sound to accompany the game. Would love to see this game fully realized.

Self DefenseI think the game should be improved in terms of player feedback and responsiveness because clicking some door makes a sound as if it is locked, and then several seconds later it changes rooms, I think it's confusing.
Probably it isn't game breaking so it should not be fixed until after the jam.
I was able to find a note, but other than that, I wasn't sure what to do. There were not any instructions on the itch.io page as well.
I might try this one again another time. It's possible I have skipped rating the game for now in case I want to try to play it again, since maybe I missed something.
The visual style looks really interesting, and I think the game looks fun, in case I have time to play it again maybe I may see if I could figure it out.
In case you have any tips in the meantime you can feel free to reply with them here.

Cloud SurvivalI... Can't seem to be able to do anything? I'm stuck at the very beginning, tried clicking everywhere, tried every key of the keyboard, nothing is happening...
Shame because the art looks gorgeous!
Did I do something wrong? I'd like to give it another try if I manage to do something

Mission: Im-pastry-bleThe art of the game is on another level, I love this style!
The gameplay was a little confusing, for a time it felt like I was missing something, but them suddently the game ended, maybe it was the feeling you were trying to give to player, if that was the case, congratulations on your work!
Great game!

Channel of MonstersVery simple, but perfect for the feel that I believe you were trying to convey. The art wonderfully reflected the theme as well and is incredibly well done.

Clam Before the StormThe art is really great, they looks astonishing. I thought this was gonna be an escape-room type of game, but turn out it was a point and click story game I guess. I couldn't really understand the mechanics but the timer was cool, although I got jump scared a bit though when the red guy come drag me.

Ohio Storm Chasingthe idea was pretty good, but the thing was quite short :|
I liked the music pretty much

Darker Than Darkness(DTD)I didn't even played yet, but I have to say that just the art that you put here is amazing! Gonna play now :^)

The Judgement's EdenThe Art is absolutely amazing. I wish there was more indication of what could be clicked on as it's unclear if I found everything the game has to offer. Cool submission!

Loan SharkThe game would be good, but there are more mechanics missing, still there is an atmosphere in the game.

Just one more Death.
