Great game I enjoyed it!
Cool aesthetics! Succeeds at giving that eerie old browser game vibe. The gameplay is cool too, mostly because of how well it compliments the overall feel of the game. I'd totally get a point and click adventure that feels like this.
I love it! Great interpretation of the theme! Very cool vibe, it all ties together very very well. Feels like kind of weird art video games that were made in art departments/art website in the late 90s/early 2000s and I miss that aesthetic! Really wonderful!
The atmosphere was very creepy and I liked the artstyle. it was a little hard to juggle moving the parasite and the human quickly to get through the lasers. all around great job!
This was a super creepy experience !!!
A bit rough around the edges, the tutorial could use some more polish but I understand is a game jam.
The creepy atmosphere and the super cool creepy character design kept me going. I was nervous all the way trough, great game.
Take some time to review mine.

Scary game.
pretty cool sound design!
Never thought I would see something like this in a GameJam! Nice work!
Horror game in a game jam, count me in!
The looks and the sounds really build the atmosphere, top notch presentation. The gameplay is also quiet challenging, I dont even know the state of the parasite, am I giving it too much food or maybe not enough, those elements add more to the horror experience. Really stellar work! :)
Wow, really great concept! Very cool art style as well. Reminds me of Spooky's Jump-scare Mansion!
It has a nice atmosfere (very creppy) and I like a lot how you use hte theme of the GJAM !! Great work !
The text was also to fast for me and I had to die to come back and see (:
This game was really creepy! Very well done on the atmosphere. A small crit i do have is maybe adding wasd controls (my dumb brain thought i it broke bc i didnt pay attention to the starting message). Also the text is a tad fast for me... Great game otherwise
I really love the aesthetic choices made for this game - it absolutely nails the creepy parasitic vibe. Great job!
I really like that style, It's creep but a little calm (perfect for jumpscares), and I liked the concept of the parasite be a thing that you can control, but I don't know If It's was me the problem, but I died so much cause the parasite was angry and I didn't know how to calm it, I read the comment saying to go to the guards, but I died a lot before find a guard, I had to speedrun the game to be able to find a guard before dying, and when I found the guard, the parasite became calm, but the text was still saying it was angry and I died. I loved the concept and style, but I couln't finish the game.
I can dig the spoopy vibes.
A bit weird but interesting. Found a few bugs, but it doesn't really interfere with the game. Keep it up! You can also look at our game too, if you have a time :)
what did I just play? beautifully bizarre and somewhat otherworldly. This could actually be a game some day!
Really creepy. Loved the Lovecraftian atmosphere. Good job
on word. ATOMSHPERE! yo nailed that aspect! such a creepy yet cool world here with a really neat mechanic of having to stop and move the parasite around. Seeing the dialogue adding a lot of interest in the sense that the two are so super connected! really cool great job!
The setup and presentation is a bit confusing and the idea of having player control two things connected together is a pretty common theme.
