An awesome game. I liked the classical Chinese aesthetic in the game. I enjoyed going around and eating people or playing the peaceful way. It would be cool if there were more in-game or in-universe effects of eating too many people or playing the pacifist way. For example, pictures on the wall depicting Nian as either a violent monster or a chill monster. But that would be best for a future update if you plan on expanding on the game after jam!
Thank you! Actually, I was thinking the same but we didn't have time to implement it! I was thinking of a statue of Nian that would heal your fear quickly when you're near it - but if you anger the villagers, the statues would be increasingly defaced/destroyed and would no longer heal you. Definitely something I want to add for a post-jam version!
