Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Creates a uniquely unsettling niche in a way that is refreshing for surreal horror. No tropes, no jump scares, no corridors, just the true horror of coming to terms with the power of the bond between a man and his horse. One of the most distinctively odd experiences of the jam.

Wow, that was pretty upsetting! Great use of body horror, this is the kind of freaky stuff I love to see in games
Poor horse… I have found the scalpel at the end but didn’t get to grab it, I was supposed to do something with it ? Good job !
Well...I've expected anything but this. It was like a fever dream. Good job on this!
Good job! :D
why the long face?
super bizarre in the best of ways.
That was... Yes, that was really good. Too short sadly, but I appreciated originality and final twist (hah badaboom-tssss).
Scalpel is kinda hard to find and even harder to grab tho.
hey, gave it a play, props to making it, also did a vidya. I heard the sound queue but as uou see, soent a minute waiting and looking around, couldn't find anything else though.
Still, good stuff, hope It does well in the Jam and here's muh vidya
Near the door on the floor there is an item.
I'll have to give it another run soon then and update the vidya.
Does the game end after the "11 months later" screen?
It's not meant to, there's another build for download you can try labelled _DX11 that might work for you if the main build is causing crashes.
It's not crashing. After the "11 months later" screen, the game works perfectly fine. It's just that nothing else seems to happen after the horse dies.
Ah ok, yes there is more to see if you look around. There's a sound cue to listen for.
I heard the sound cue. Now what?
EDIT: Never mind, I found the scalpel. Creepy game!
