I was worried it would be perceived this way, but decided to carry the idea anyway. The thing is that all characters are isolated inside the house, so the killer has to decide when and how to strike. Pretty much like all characters from "And then there were none", but seen from the perspective of the killer. 

Same with the limitation: It's not that there aren't any things while playing the game, but it's the final condition for winning: There are no living things left alive in the house.

Thanks for playing though :-)

I think he means the restriction, there's a "no living things" requirement for this Major Jam.
We're still allowed to update games, so you can still try! Zombies and skeletons etc aren't considered living things, so maybe a skin change?
It'd be such a shame to be disqualified

The isolation theme is fine I think :)

Yeah, I considered making a game about killing zombies instead or your family members. That may have been better perceived. However, I dismissed this for two reasons: The first one is that it would diminish the impact: Each family member has a different background and really wanted to highlight their personality. Zombies are... zombies.

The second one is that the description says that both the theme and restriction are open to interpretation. I'm the kind of person that likes giving things a twist, so instead of going the normal path, I thought it would be cool that the restriction references the winning condition: After you kill your family, there are no living things left (remember you're on your deathbed, so you're as good as dead).

Thanks for playing though! :-) Hope you liked it!
