How does your game fit the theme?
The theme 'Built to Scale' is integrated into the narrative, antagonists, and mechanics of the game. The player is introduced to an unknown infection that grows and spreads throughout the laboratory as the game progresses. As the player advances, they collect notes detailing the plague's escalation and eventually realize they are infected, unlocking new abilities—or perhaps, becoming just another wandering creature in the corridors.

Really well done. I was nervous throughout the playthrough.

Excellent! We watched the video, and you got very close to the end of the level.

I did have a feeling of being close to the end, unfortunately I have a stigma with watching people play a full game or level, it Kinda spoils it for me.

I try to aim for mechanics and movement and ease of use. 

I was confused at the beginning with all these items I was collecting, while not being able to use them. 

So I stayed in the; 'confused frame mind' of a person who just plays a game and tries to push through to eventually show the mechanics, show it's not a total loss and there could be more around the corner.

Honestly one of the best I've played for this jam! Severely underrated!

Thank you very much! We want to expand the game's content in the future
