Yes, I definitely recommend checking out Myst and the follow-ups! Fatum Betula looks pretty cool, I have added it to my list of games to check out, looks very interesting :)

Thanks! Very happy you enjoyed the experience! The main influences for this game were Myst and Riven. Both have, in my opinion, this unique, slightly eery, atmosphere. Obduction also scratches that itch for me, albeit with more modern graphics. I also enjoyed Syberia, which is not quite as eery, but also a great game. Another one that stuck with me, altough I just watched a Youtube video about it and never played it myself, is "The Book of Watermarks" for the PS1 - it also gives these vibes.
Other, more recent, games that I enjoyed, which may have some kind of similarity with this type of game are: The Thalos Principle 1+2 (much more modern graphics, but I also enjoyed the sense of mystery there, especially the first part), That Which Gave Chase (which also has an interesting retro look, altough not pre-rendered) and Scanner Sombre (with an interesting graphics style which creates an unique atmosphere). "The Witness" is also a great game in my opinion, which is kinda related to this type of game.
I also asked Daniel about this and he recommends "The Traitor's Gate" and "The X-Files: The Game" :)
Well...I guess you just ordered food from the Smoke Box. :)

Maybe you also witnessed Jambon getting what she craves and needs, so she does not need to resort to other measures to create "Pig" Sticks - or try to remove herself from existence to stop her cravings by the only way a fictive character can cease to exist. But I guess what happened is open to interpretation.

I hope that you at least enjoyed the atmosphere a bit :)
Lovely game! Has the coziest fall vibes of the games I have played so far. There seem problems with the menu cards in the web version (sometimes they fly out of the window and I can not click them anymore). Would love to see a version with an introduction and the money/love-mechanic after the jam :)
Nice game! I especially like the effects - like the tyre tracks and lights. I am also a fan of the tactic component of deciding when to pit. One side note: the walls on the last race felt a bit glitchy, my car was really hard to control there and this was a bit annoying, since I had a hard time driving around the competitors without touching the walls, haha :)
