I absolutely love how you've put all this together! The setting and mechanics are evocative, and I can imagine doing many cool things with this game!

What an interesting and rich world you've created! Love the writing here and the setting is so eerie and haunting. Love the double-edged sword of the Malignancy and the powers it gives is so creative and interesting. Awesome work!

Thank you! The Health Bar is both a great name and the game itself looks very fun. Love the tone and I always enjoy the option to randomise my character  little!

Can't go wrong with a little body horror~ The infection system is super cool, as is the fact you can empower yourself by forcing the infection basically. Something could go horrifically wrong and I'm here for it!

I have not played your game yet, but I am excited to. This game looks really clucking awesome. It reminds me of Guilty Crown (a show I loved as a kid) When I run this game I am absolutely going to lean into that aesthetic. The hive influence sounds cool. And thank you for including an example of play. I am looking forward to the next version.

So creepy, definitely worth expanding further. Essentially replacing a health system with an infection system adds such a degree of risk/reward, and I'm a sucker for a liberal sprinkling of body horror.

Thank you! I definitely intend to expand on it. As a sucker for solo journalling-type games and an artist myself, PHOTOG really appeals to me so great job there!

Oh my goodness lol the last few days I've had to remove so many spam submissions, so when I saw another submission I was like "ugh here we go again..." and then I saw this and WOW!!! I haven't read it yet, but my goodness, 26 pages in 3 days is amazing! And you must've started almost right away, that's so epic!!!! Congrats on completing the challenge, this legit looks incredible from the browse I gave it. Well done! 

I followed you because I'm excited to check out your other work, too :D

And thanks for entering!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Oh my, thank you so much! Truth be told, I submitted it mere seconds before the deadline haha. I honestly appreciate the jam and your kind words. Hoping to really flesh the game out in the near future. Thanks again! :)

Oh wow, well way to get it done right in time! I think that's such a magical feeling, like in movies when someone sprints and slides under a closing door 🤣 The well-earned break after that is so awesome, although it often comes with lots of "did I remember to do this? Did I edit it okay? Is this part fine?" anxiety too.

It's definitely my pleasure, both to give the kind words and to have your game here!
