Pretty similar to one of my entries, but darker. Also, it seems like you can still guess what most apps would do, even without their descriptions.

Oh cool lol it's fun we came up with something similar! And also wild to hear something of mine is darker than someone else's 🤣🤣🤣 This was my first foray into something darker, I'm normally super chipper and positive and uplifting but when I was trying to figure out how to make the phone "call out to you" it just struck a dark tone for me :D

Great addition to the jam! Really enjoying these entries that require no setup to introduce.

Thank you very much! And yeah, I saw a few of those and loved them, so I tried my hand at one too. I'm normally VERY VERY over-explanatory so this has been great practice 🤣

Wow, this is simultaneously tempting and truly disconcerting. A seemingly all-powerful key to the proverbial city (the city being reality), at the cost of your life—I wonder how long it'll take players to ignore all the bad vibes (and literal blood on their hands) and just have a ball with this thing  🙈

YES, exactly! I'm not a fan of dark stuff generally, but I had this general idea and as I was creating it, it just kinda went that direction... Normally I'm all rainbows and sparkles 🤣 Like if I were to use this in a game myself, I'd just say that the power drain exhausts you or maybe makes you feel more addicted to the device, rather than physically harming you, but I didn't want to limit it for the sake of people who would want to take it in that direction.
