Pretty amazing almost an Imm simm made in  only a month. Love the mind control powers and stealth gameplay. Being able to poke in people's brains and erase you crimes and send them at each other is so clever. I feel like the trance thing might be framerate uncapped though because it was so fast for me I was basically RNGing that thing. The sound is fun though obviously a little weird. The animations are great and quirky. I love the art style too kind of like early NWN stuff. Also great job with a mirror in the bear room that was impressive. The VO and music at the end are great. Really hard to put my finger on it but playing this game made me happy in the way that the earl Deus Ex games made me happy. Just silly fun that ripples out in weird and wild ways.

You can tell how much effort went into making this game. From a great (albeit a little slow) intro, to an impressive world, many secret doorways and beyond, I was definitely impressed playing this game. It didn't feel like a jam game which is not something I say lightly. I'll admit the interactions with NPCs was a little clunky and I definitely didn't understand how the AI would behave, but maybe that's because I was a tyrant who killed without care of who saw. Forcing others to kill for me while I dragged the body away in front of a crowd seemed to have pissed a few people off. Drag one dead body away after it's been freshly murdered and everyone loses their mind. People nowadays. Anyway, really cool game!

oh no here I go killing again. Really enjoyed the atmosphere of this game, the hook is great and reminded me that I trust decrepit old fiends that do yoga in coffins. At some point, after strangling about 9 people (who all wanted to die), I wasn't able to drag bodies so I don't think I was able to complete the game :( but I did enjoy the experience I had playing this!
