Hey! Thanks so much for playing!

Thanks so much for playing! Appreciate the feedback. In my original design, I wanted to have a lot more gameplay/decisions the player would have to make in terms of distributing/acquiring power, but had to scale down to have a finished product by the end of the jam. Something to keep in mind for future projects though

Thanks so much! I'll have to check on your RPG maker game too :)

Thank you so much!

Really gorgeous game.

Hi everyone,

I had the opportunity to participate in my first game jam this week for the 2025 Big Mode Game Jam.

I wanted to share the game I made, a narrative-driven roleplaying game Parish Zero D Zero Two. It was a lot of fun to make and challenge myself, would appreciate anyone's thoughts if they have the time!

Welcome overseer, to Parish Zero D Zero Two.

Your assignment is to provide the people of the parish with power, harvested through clandestine methods only known to those deemed worthy by the great and terrible machine.

Completing your mission successfully will earn you indulgences, which can be used to prove your loyalty and call you to higher service.

Choices Matter

As the overseer, you have the power to decide the fate of your community.

As you explore the precarious metal walkways and derelict homesteads of Zero Two Zero D, you will uncover more about the lives of its citizens, and the perils they find themselves in.

Will you serve the people? Or follow the grand design of your unseen masters?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW THANK YOU SBARRETT

Thanks for playing!

I'm very excited to announce the launch of my second game, The Black Cartridge. The game is available now for free on my page (trailer below).

Inspired by classic video game creepypastas of old, The Black Cartridge is a puzzle/adventure game about two teenagers who discover a strange video game called PURGATORY. Within the game, more questions emerge about the mysterious 'Eschatos Studios' and what really happened to Ben's older brother.

The game is available for free on my itch page here: https://kinokogames.itch.io/the-black-cartridge

Very interested in hearing/receiving feedback for those who have the time. Thanks so much for your interest.

Thanks for letting me know! I just added a download link at the bottom that should work.

Hey! You should be able to download it

Thanks for letting me know! Glad you enjoyed it.

The HP were randomly generated, I did do my best to assign phrases that could be interpreted or alluded to themes in the story - but they weren't meant to be narrative foreshadowing (directly).

The end scrawl you get at the end depends on:

SPOILERS:

-If you turned off the machine in the tunnel

-How you deal with Marcus on the way out

Congrats on beating the game! Thanks so much for playing.

In the tunnel between the chamber the warden's office you can go left to exit :)














SPOILER:
The Six-Handed gate wasn't meant for you - it's one only the other student who was with you can access. The fact that your character can see it at all is actually very unusual.

The only way to unlock the shed crate is

1. SPOILER:

To get a key in the intro level of the grey. If you missed it, don't worry! There is still a way to get what you want from the crate through the supply store.

Thanks so much for playing! The scales have to be balanced, with an item that can be found in another gate (hint: what did the Egyptians weigh hearts against? And what were the wings of another named gate made of?)

There is not (although we may not have seen the last of him).

She's such a gossip that one. Thanks for playing!

Really cool concept, fun art style!

Thank you! Glad you made it to the end haha.

Thanks for playing! It'll be around if you want to come back to it haha

I've finally fulfilled a lifelong dream of mine to publish a complete video game, The Wayward Colony. As you can imagine I'd love to hear people's thoughts and feedback on the game.

The Wayward Colony is a puzzle RPG inspired by old flash games from Newgrounds, liminal and analog horror, and the works of David Lynch.

https://kinokogames.itch.io/wayward-colony

A new student has arrived at the Wayward House, a school for troubled youths. They must navigate the strange and unfamiliar Foxwoods, deal with fellow students, and brave the unyielding eye of the warden if they are to survive.
