Uuuuuugh I got shivers, not just down my spine but every limb. Thank you for the new nightmare! Ö_O
You're welcome :D
I feel like everyone deep down has this exact phobia, whether we are conscious of it or not. This game really does not help me forget about these sort of nightmares lol. Great work on creating something really unique! :D
Thank you! Yeah, because little holes are so associated with transmittable diseases, humans are almost instinctually repulsed by them. And we cashed in on it :D
You know what, it’s polished, and full of the bugs you intended! Not much bad to say besides… EW!
Congrats! I officially need therapy!
Thank you! Good luck with your therapy XD
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
Many psychologists ask the same question XD
lol :)
Amazing graphics and audio.
Thank you :D
That's disgusting.... I love it :)
Really good work at all the audio , it makes the game way more intense^^
Thank you :D
"Ewwwww!" That was my feeling during the experience. XD And that's great, it's a unique game that leaves its mark. The gameplay is special and different from anything else I've seen, which is a good thing!
Some feedbacks: It would be nice if the keys were the same to interact and continue the interaction (Q and enter could be only one key). Regarding the sound design, the background music felt too present and the footstep sound effect a bit annoying. I really liked the font and interactions with objects.
Overall I won't forget this game! It would be nice if there was a sequel
Thanks for the feedback! changing "Q" to enter is actually a really good idea, and something we'll implement on an update after the jam. Glad we could leave a mark, we already have plans for the sequel :D
That was gross and cool! Shame it was so short though. Good work!
Thanks! Yeah, the time constraints of the jam meant we decided to go for "short and shocking", but we have ideas for more...
Feels like a prolonged anxiety attack. Very good variety, I really enjoyed it and would love to see more. :)
Thanks! That was definitely the vibe we were going for, glad we pulled it off :D
Very interesting and unique really like the use of controls and uneasy feeling it manifested in me.
Thanks :)
You got me man, right in the blood stream!
:D
Pretty creepy. I really hate when shows show surgery and stuff so this was very uncomfortable to me. So great job! Would have liked a bit of story or something but the game works for what it is. Nice job!
yeah, we had hoped to add more story in, but with so many animations to make we ran out of time :(
After the jam is finished we are planning an update, so maybe we'll get a bit more in there, but we do want to maintain the "short and shocking" feel. Always such a balancing act in game design :D
The 2D mini-game to remove one of the parasites was a nice touch. I enjoyed the simple challenge it provided. The sound design was awesome it kept me engaged for the first play-through. I explored the rest of the room on the second play-through because I interacted with the desk first on my first play-though. Too bad the player hates doctor appointments!
yep XD Thanks for the kind words :)
Oh my god! Short but disturbing :s
Good sound ambience and effects but maybe, the aesthetics could improve. I think this videogame could be a good start to something bigger.
Thanks! after the jam is done, we will release an update with smoother graphics :)
NO THANK YOU
XD
Really disturbing! The concept is cool even if the execution is a little rough. You might wanna consider using the same key for interacting and examining in your next game :P nice job!
yeah, we considered this but decided not to just to make it a bit clearer to the player character that the interaction was different (and would lead to game progression). We like making all our own assets within the time limit for the jam (because who doesn't enjoy an extra challenge?), but will add an update with smoother graphics/animations etc after the jam :) thanks for checking out our game :D
This genuinely made me feel uncomfortable and itchy, well done xD Loved the sound design as well!
Thank you :D
Wow, that was "with many itches"! Cool game, wish it could be some longer!
Thanks for this experience!
Hope you could try our game too! :-)
PS: Idk why but I need to restart the page 3 times, to make "get the worm" mini-game work.
Thanks for checking it out :D Also thanks for giving us a heads up on the glitch, that's something we'll definitely lok into fixing after the jam is over :)
Gave me genuine chills. Great music too! Gonna go take a shower now.
:D
Nice and gruesome fun, I like the way you can zoom in on your arm with the mouse wheel lol. Could be the start of a cool horror game if it was lengthened some more. Nice sound effects and music too.
Thank you! Yeah, 10 days is not long to put together a game, since we like to make all our assets from scratch over the course of the jam (more intense = more fun :D ), but after the jam is over we are definitely thinking of giving it some updates and maybe fleshing it out a bit more :)
Not bad at all for 10 days, looking forward to seeing more :)
