Really great stuff here. No frills, just simple and moving. Wow, fantastic work!

Goodness gracious this was creepy, in a great way. Presentation was great and terrifying, and incredibly sad to see the man hold your hand at the end. Great storytelling!

Fantastic job with the atmosphere. Left me with a lingering feeling of uneasiness. Great game.

Submitted

A really profound and interesting take on the theme. Everything, including the bugginess of the entry, comes together to make something eery and memorable and cool. Very nice work!

Wow!! All I can say is wow. This is without a doubt the most unique take on the theme.

Even though the man crushed me in checkers (yeah I suck at it) I never felt like he was my opponent, nor someone I'm actually competing against. Those final moments really sold me on how well made this entry is.

 My favorite game of this jam, congratulations!!

This game is an incredible heart wrenching interpretation of the theme, in my book you've earned yourself a top 20 seat.

Submitted

Great game! Love the atmosphere of it!

Love the presentation and It manages to make you feel how it could be to be out of control of your life, loved the game

I keep thinking about this game, this is the one I show people when they ask what stuff has been submitted to the jam.

Powerful narrative

Submitted

Amazing submission. Well-paced progression, deceptively evocative, and great use of minimalist art. My favourite submission so far. Keep it up!

Wow. How in just a few moments you could evoke such a feeling of dread and sadness. Very well done. A better story than Twilight. (Do people still say that?)


Game play was fun, and but I agree that the AI UI could be a different color or maybe slightly different, so that you knew that it was not "your turn". However, I felt that it was still clear enough. Artwork & Mechanics were very clear, and understandable.

Dreadful atmosphere, love it!

Submitted

Wonderful. The design around making the game change and the effects create a wonderfully distressing atmosphere. 

Submitted

So nice and sad game, definitely one of my favorites, and top ratings

Submitted

I don't think any other games in this jam have made me feel sad... Thanks?

Submitted

Well that was quite powerful. 

Definitely invoked something none of the other games have. 

Great job!

Submitted

Very interesting game, capture the theme in a very particular way but it's wonderfully executed. Great job, great experience, nothing more to say.

Submitted

That was... sad

Submitted

Never seen a game like this in a jam before. The darker themes compliment the gameplay very well and the way it changes with the story is fascinating. Stellar entry, great job.
