Game Description
This game got exported wrong, so nobody can really play it without decompiling and playing it in the editor. I'm sorry, I'll get it right next jam.

How does your game tie into the theme?
You have a doll that is possessed by spirits that may be malevolent as the main gameplay loop.

I’ll have a link to the pck file on this comment or another when I get home from school. I’m sorry that this game is terribly exported, it’s the first time I’ve ever used godot.

No worries, exporting can be a complicated part of the process and is something that is often forgotten till the end. Looking forward to trying it out.

In the future, you’ll usually get a lot more eyes with a web build (and they can be pretty easy to export for most 2d games). To do that, you’ll export the project into a new folder as a HTML build, you then have to compress those files to a zip, and upload to itch. There are a few good vids about it as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiQcnVgBhFE

I believe you need the pck file uploaded as well. It's still not working.

The windows executable doesn’t work for me, just spams a very loud noise on an empty screen. I got curious so I ran the exe through gdsdecomp (sorry) but then running the decompiled game in the editor made it work for some reason! So I might be the only participant besides yourself to actually play your submission! The game got stuck making the Neniri so I had to tweak the StoryOrder and then manually open the next scene. I don’t even know if doing this is breaking the rules lol. If it is I apologise, curiosity got the better of me. But even then after all the messing around I still couldn’t find a soul to put in the Neniri :( It’s a shame because I was getting really invested in the story. I hope you can fix it up eventually!

Developer

I'm sorry that you couldn't make it through without editing, but I'm glad that you did! I spent a lot of time on the game but I do need to do something to make it work. I need to run through some tests and see if i can submit a game breaking bug exemption. 

(hint: If the game isn't broken [it is], there should be someone waiting for you at the liquor store!)
