Does your game contain AI-generated content?

How does your game fit/incorporate the theme of the game jam?
In my game, the theme "Remnants of the Past" is shown through two main elements. First, when a character dies, their body remains at the location, and there are documents related to the body left on the desk. Players interact with these remnants to solve puzzles and uncover the past. Second, the game’s ending involves the character Evil, who once had a birthday with no one attending. In the end, Neuro attends Evil's birthday, representing a resolution to the past. The game contains AI-generated text and code (My English is not very good, this text was generated by GPT.)

This is freaking amazing! I loved the meta thing with going into the files. The puzzles are fun too. It's such a smart and creative way of incorporating the theme! I actually once had that very same idea of using your previous corpses to solve puzzles, but I never did anything with it. It makes me so happy to see that same idea come to fruition in this game!

This has gotta be my favourite game from this jam. Max ranking for theme and creativity, I don't anything else compares on those fronts. I quite literally could not think of a more in-depth and unique usage of "remnants of the Past" than this. The way you worked the mechanics in is wonderful.

Also, GOODNESS this made me sad. Reading their last words.... (the hobbies were also quite humorous) you did such a great job making those few words meaningful. Not only do I have to make them die, I have to throw around their corpses to proceed, AND delete their gravestones/last words?? All memory of them? 

I want to write a fanfic about this concept. There's so much that could be done with it, even though you already did so much!

Also, the puzzles were fun and of a nice difficulty level I think. And the stuff with the files was implemented in such an interesting way!

Thank you for this amazing game! (Super cool cover art, by the way!)

Thank you so much for liking it!! Seeing this really moves me. If you ever get the chance, let me check out your novel (though I might end up using GPT to translate it word by word).

Very clever take on the theme, a really unique game. Loved the comments on the tombs!

THIS GAME IS SO COOL!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I LOVED THIS GAME!! I love games that do things on your computer, I loved the password bit on the end is so cool, the puzzles are really clever, the second to last one had me stumped for a bit but the solution was so satisfying. I really liked this game, a real great job from the team!

Developer(+2)

Actually, I made almost the entire game by myself. I really envy those big teams with so many people working together. Thank you for liking it!

Very interesting mechanics.

Something that can be improved: My default Desktop path is modified and is not at “C:\Users[username]\Desktop”, but the game files are saved there. Maybe you can change that.

Developer

Yes, I mentioned this issue in the game description! Thank you!

Love the mechanic! I thought the txt files would be more useful than simply be deleted but that’s fine too, the last words are funny. I was scared it would go the “Oh my god, you killed the Neuros. How dare you, you monster” at first so I’m glad it didn’t

Developer(+2)

I also had some ideas for giving the files more functionality, but I couldn’t implement them within three days. I wanted the game to feel like Neuro would go to any lengths to attend Evil’s birthday (even though there’s no actual storyline). I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Game is incredibly creative and and interesting I did get stuck on one of the puzzles and the question about the one of the neuro stumped me could not figure it out

Developer(+1)

My bad, the sentence should be: "One of the Neuros will tell you the answer"and the answer is in the files game created. You can sort them by modification time—the latest file contains the answer.

Hi Nagasaki Soyo

Such an original mechanic! There is quite a large difficult spike though. I think it took me like 20 minutes to beat that one puzzle with doors and lasers. I was also stuck at the question "One Neuro will tell you the answer". But overall I really like the game.  I love when people try to think outside the box like that. Great work !

The game looks and sounds really good and was fun to play. The puzzles were also fun and well designed, especially that laser puzzle. But please just put the tomb folder next to the executable in case there is already a folder with that name on the desktop, especially because it permanently deletes everything in the folder when the game is closed.

omg I didn’t think of that issue! Thank you for your feedback!
