"Hmmm... Why is that grinding noise getting louder?"
*looks up*
"oh."
Cool game. Great visual style and atmosphere. And the riddles were fun. I especially liked how the last one was the easiest Lol.

Grow to PerfectionThis is creepy (in a good way) and pretty difficult, I already struggled with the second level. The theme is implemented really well!

Scale the LighthouseLoved the retro horror game style here. Good concept, gets the right amount of stressful for it to be fun, and feels like a complete and polished game. Had a lot of fun playing this one! Excellent work!

Dragon Drive-Thru - Built to ScaleFantastic sense of tension and atmosphere.
Would love to see it expanded further to get more of the narrative.

Cargo on the ScaleConcept for this game is very good and retro style is also made very well. I personally wouldn't think of making Saw like game for a game jam, but it's genius idea for this theme. I admit I skimmed dialog on first play and got spooked by spikes coming from ceiling. My only remark would be that numbers of weights could be more bold/pronounced, because of resolution it's kinda hard to discern them. Also pause menu would be nice (for writing down weights of specific items), but maybe it would make game too easy so I don't know for sure. Also for some reason when I launched the game, it wasn't in fullscreen (as in there was thin bar on the right that wasn't a game and was just my desktop). Good job.

Locksmith's DungeonReally polished game. I generally love this kind of horror aesthetic. The twist with the spikes was super scary. Very Well done!

Grow to PerfectionI really liked the ambiance and aesthetic of the video game; it feels like something retro in 3D, and I experienced a lot of suspense. I also enjoyed the overall idea of the puzzles
