Nice gloomy mood. Art, music and writing were great, thanks for that :D

If you would like to play something based on the atmosphere of doom also, then I'd be grateful if you could play and rate my game :D

Writing is obviously incredibly cringe. Which wouldn't be a problem, if there was any game to go along with it. The concept is played out but it's at least original to apply it to this game jam's concept. The graphics are alright, if you count a handful of still Blame!-wannabe images as graphics. One star gameplay, two stars originality, one star presentation. Could have been two but the writing is pretty unforgivable.

Creepy AF

Really cool art/music/writing, so much atmosphere and horror from so little, I survived my run with no losses which was a little anticlimactic, but still a very impressive effort.

What in the HR Giger is that god design?? Amazing pixel art all around! I am excited to see a horror game in the jam!

Incredible presentation and artstyle. Well done!

Hey this is really cool and atmospheric! It is also kinda horrifying... but I guess that's the point!!

The colors and dialogue and design all helped to pull me in. It all added to the tension to see what could be next. My only nitpick is I wish I could move a little faster through the dialogue and through the scenes, especially when it faded out to black. Maybe I'm just impatient though, and that probably adds to the tension!

Anyways very cool game and great work on it!

I liked the setting but I think the idea lacks a bit of time, congratulations and good job!

Best game in the jam (so far, I haven't seen them all) and one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life.
Everything is amazing, I can't even nitpick something bad.
The story is so unique and so horrific it's mesmerizing to see.
It is vague and abstract enough that your mind can create a horrific story to fill the missing details, but also concrete enough that you have a general understanding of the story.
The dialog is amazing and fits perfectly with the amazing dystopian setting, and I love the part that there is no good ending, only a bad ending and an even worse ending.
It fits perfectly with the theme of the jam and is more original in the concept than anything else I've seen.
This game is a piece of art and I hope it wins the jam as number 1#.

Can't play ): looks cool though

Cool art, wish there was a bit more gameplay though and it would be nice to skip through the dialogue a bit faster.

This game is simple and super effective in using the die roll as a story telling mechanic. I felt nervous every time I rolled hoping it wasn't one  of the ones that would lose me a limb or an eye. Though I lost a toe and thumb immediately

This atmosphere is amazing. I only lost a toe before I was able to die (Thankfully?), but the tension is set up very well.

Love the bit of narrative, too. Well done. :)

I love it when people take horror back to its psychological routes. I'm tired of jump scares and want something like this that will provoke my thoughts even after I shut down the game.

I didn't land a single roll, so I'm either really unlucky or really lucky, depending on your perception of the situation lol

This game is very scary, you should keep working on this game
