Definitely a highlight of the jam! This one is super fun. I like how Bonny sits squarely in the tradition of the 'cursed doll' archetype but goes down a different route by the end. The use of audio channels to share Bonny's secrets was a fun way of making it extra unsettling. I think Lya, who is credited as doing the voice acting on this, has done a top job, which is a very difficult task when you're playing a maniacal but cheeky doll. In terms of the scares, I like how this was a slow burn and didn't use cheap tricks - which made the disturbing actions of the player all the more impactful. I can, ah, see why the very last request was implied rather than visualised, but it's pretty clear what Bonny's final command of the player was. Really excellent work for the short timeframe you had for the jam! 

Hi, Hypertelex! Thank you so much for playing and your very detailed review!

Yea, I wanted to tell a more subtle horror story without using any jumpscares, I'm glad you appreciated my attempt!
