Is there any more you'd like to share about your game?
Most elements are in the itch page description, but heads up warning for some blood and slight gore in the visuals. The game is primarily a visual novel with point and click elements in certain sections. Although we went with some surface level associations with the theme of "Trinket" (ravens who collect trinkets, a coin trinket calling card), we also took on a more metaphorical approach of the associations of trinket (memories and sentimental value). Other than that, I think that's kind of it, but hope y'all enjoy and thanks for hosting this cool game jam! B)
Is there anyone else who you want to credit?
Mentioned in the itch project page, but my friend Frey helped out with writing, directing, & creating the concept with me! (https://itch.io/profile/itsfrey is their itch). I also linked and credited Not Jam's free use fonts in the itch page description! (https://not-jam.itch.io)

I'm impressed not only by the quality, but the QUANTITY of screenshots here. They're all so good??? I'd ask what kind of witchcraft this was, but that's plainly evident in the art. It's so evocative and moody without being overbearing. I can hear the grizzled and rough voice of the main character, feel the oppressive aura of the town, shudder at the squelch of the autopsy. This is incredible work.
honestly i don't know what spirit possessed us to go so hard, but nonetheless, thank you so much for all the kind words! it means a lot
There is a piece of artwork by René Magritte called "The Treachery of Images." It's a painting of a pipe, with the caption "this is not a pipe" underneath.
Magritte meant to convey that it could not be the item, as it was merely an image. A facsimile. It could not be what it was not, and could only be what it was.
This is not a game.
But it should be.
