I thought you did a nice job with the visuals and am very surprised that there is a full story here in a 24-hour game jam. That was an interesting approach to take with the theme. Nice Job!

Very good game. Crazy how much you got done in 48hrs. The storyline was direct but built up enough to get invested. I feel if you continue work on this post Game Jam to find a way to branch paths more. All in all I am blown away by this game!!!

Tower of HellI actually didn't click on this game at first but after scrolling through submissions again I have to say: was worth it. Nice story, cool/funny voice acting at the start from the boss. Nice pacing, no boring time. Great graphics and sound. Sadly I died because I didn't share my food. I don't understand why he jumped before the yacht trip and not after it but I guess I can't expect any more story-writing within a 2-day game jam.

Decaying Deliveryglad u did end up clicking on it, and thanks for the kind words, SPOILERS (in case someone reading the comments before playing) the reason he jumped before was because Rian bought those tickets for em to go together, and when Rian then died it was the final drop in the glass. but yeah the story was going to be more in depth but as u said with the time frame and everything it was hard to do, even with this story i myself put in close to 20 hours, with pipsqueak not far behind. so more story and more endings would've been even harder
Beautiful game! My choice of hamburger and fried saved my life in the end, really appreaciate how the choice I made reflected the game's ending, super cool! Voice acting was great, and it was a really hard hitting story, you have a knack for storytelling! Keep on doing what you're doing!

Mind AdriftYOOOO THANK YOU !!! Couldn'tve done it without Jocotes amazing coding fr,, (I never even touched a line of code in this whole project)
and FR the Voice actors actually were insane! It was so funny to see Fuegowaves (The boss') recordings when he sent em to us,, and I debated putting the bloopers into the credits but decided against it to keep the sad mood QnQ
The voice acting is really nice. The story is simple, but I guess it gets the point across. ˘-°

Mind AdriftBrother what. Chill out mahn. Its a game jam. This game reminded me of Night in the woods. I bet if you guys decide to go with this you can surely make a game like that. I can already see the effort that has been put in. Very awesome. Big W for this bro.

Host Havoc: An Inside JobThanks man, yeah effort has been put in. since our team consisted of two people being me the programmer and pipsqueak as the artist (+ a lil voice acting) we had to put in many hours for my second and pipsqueaks first gamejam. i gotta play this game night in the woods, someone else said it reminded em of it too. so yeah thanks for playing and glad u enjoyed it
Wow what a touching story. The voice acting makes it all so much better. Great job on this.

The Withering Crownthank you for playing and glad u liked it, i think voice acting is such an underrated part of a story game. really makes it shine, with the game technology we have i would love to see a game in the future benefiting from ai to make story games more interactable with speaking into the mic and having the npc anwser in sound not just text
Good game and story. I myself am going through difficult times right now, so the best thing you can do for yourself is to find a reason to live on.

My games is decayingAlot of effort put into the story, good audio design, nice visuals and you can get start to finish in a good time. Dark theme and ending so I wouldn’t say I enjoyed playing this game, but it is great that it is used to raise awareness for a very serious issue. Well done everyone involved.

Vegitum Expiratusvery good submission Tho you caught me off-guard, nice story and art tbh its one of the few story heavy games that i played until the end and watched the credits
Submitted
Fruit Farmer ClickerThe Sprite and Art seems really good and looks like a lot of work went into it. The voice and music adds a lot of life to the game. This is really good and is a real unique use of theme. Great game.

BlightWingA unique use of theme to tell a heartbroken story of life. Well made.

When Stars CollapseGreat game , loved it

one of my most rated games along with XORIBIT . great job really . !!! .

Submitted
Nature of The Refugeesome stuff was hard to even rate given the theme… like humor?
sprite work is great, full of life, some animations have a lot more frames than it is reasonable for such a short jam (I mean this in a good way, it’s polish)
props for adding voice, specially with the nature of the game it adds a lot.
I don’t really have much to critique honestly
