The rules state you can use a project made in a different jam. As long as he did do so, he’s fine.

I don't understand why it's so hard for you to comprehend what is wrong with your entry. In the forums a mod told you you have to work on the game during September, you ignored them and still continue to submit the same game.
But you keep insisting on submitting this game, and every single time, it will be reported and taken down. I'm no longer interested in helping you, I'm leaving this to the mods because it's clear to me that you rather argue with someone than actually make a new game that adheres to the rules. Have the day you deserve ^^
Sure, no one is disputing that. I myself also don't live in any of the English-speaking countries.
I was talking to the other person in this conversation that they're being too harsh on you because you're clearly new here and don't know much about the VNdev community. However, they're objectively right - even though you replaced the monster's image, it's still clearly the same game with the same premise and mostly the same text, which is forbidden under the jam's rules.
No one is personally attacking you. But you should listen to people and try to make something new from scratch.
