I really liked this one! I've tinkered with RPG Maker and had no idea you could create a puzzle game like you have in the surgery scene. I also really like the music! It is impactful, letting you feel how important it is to solve that puzzle in the idea that you are operating on a patient, but also chill in that it just lets you concentrate and zone in on that careful work and puzzle solving. Brilliant work across the board!

Bad House GuestI like where you're headed. As you said, there is some work to be done polish wise. But jam games are what they are haha time is the ultimate enemy of us all.
One suggestion, fwiw, would be to maybe tweak the timing on the puzzle gameplay to be a little faster/more free flowing. I felt like I was spending a LOT of time watching that ball animation, and waiting to be able to move again.
Good Game.

LeaflettaHello everyone! My game's a little rough around the edges as I spent way too much time programming as opposed to creating art and adding sound lol, I hope you can still find some enjoyment in it though!
Just wanted to clarify for those unfamiliar with RPG Maker, a large sum of the visuals are not mine but rather the default ones within the engine itself. I only created the assets for the surgery minigame and the early cutscenes. They were created during the last hour of the jam if I'm being quite honest, so yeah they don't look too good.
I plan to upgrade this game a ton after the voting period ends but would still love feedback on stuff such as: are the puzzles too easy or too difficult, how is the writing for the story, did the game run well for you, are the characters likeable for what is shown, and really anything you have commentary on.
I had fun making this and I've learned a lot about an engine I never used before but always loved, I'd love to hear from you all and I plan to check out as many games as I can in the next 5 days!
