Cool graphics effects and sounds.
Nice concept but slightly confusing. Cool selection effect.
Didn't get why I lost. The game kept asking me to select a monster but then I had a lot of monster and people died but some could be saved. Then I just picked a monster, did nothing and won. It's a little confusing. But the game's gorgeous.
I really liked the graphics and sounds, the whole atmosphere gives a very tense feel.
But the lack of gameplay really turned me down, the first 2 islands didn't have any chance of failure at all, and although I liked the idea of sacrificing your "lives" to have a little control of outcome, the seemingly random nature of the monster really breaks the mechanic, one time I converted a human and there was zero kills, another I did with the very same guy and drowned 1 of them, there's no premise of challenge like that.
But still, pretty well made.
A game almost fully based on the AI of both sides, the humans and the monster. Contemplative gameplay, felt like playing a tower defense game (which I love) in therms of not having to click much, just being aware of what is going on and making decisions to reach the goal.
I must say, it's confusing and hard to get used to it at first, a tutorial would be great.
I love the graphics and music... but I don't get where is the game. I don't even know if it fit the theme or not... I'm a monster? or an observer?...
Great mood! Congrats!
I can't seem to access any of the downloads.

Even tried disabling my antivirus. I'm perplexed!
Oh, it's working today!
The graphics look pretty clean. Lots of beautiful shadows. Nice choice of textures. The misty effect is awesome too.
Gameplay feels slow since there's lots of waiting around with minimal player interaction, but pretty unique idea. Nice job!
lacks gameplay, but i liked the water effect.
Interesting entry, =)
Not sure what I'm supposed to do exactly but I loved the graphics and audio.
Interesting to watch sometimes the monster walks where I would the wrong way in my mind. nice entry.
The main strength of this game is its mood, but you could have worked better with the audio. I like the idea of different maps and the graphics are rather solid. Well done.
This game idea is really interesting. Would love to see where you take it. However, for the compo, I don't think you're supposed to import any assets at all.
Gameplay is a bit confusing but I understand what the simulation is about, I like the idea. Graphics and audio are nice too.
An interesting simulation with nice, very fitting music and good graphic. Only a bit confusing, but overall pretty nice.
Nice sim. Too bad it has no action. Also, when boat is there, people ignore the monster. Anyway, graphics are great.
really nice graphics, i wish there where more things you could do, like build walls or give weapons to humans to see how they will react
I really like the interpretation of the theme and the tension created when choosing to change your monster. Perhaps with faster gameplay and a few tweaks this could make a great 'herding' simulator / puzzle game.
A nice game to observe, it's like I was cheering for the monster to try and kill more people :)
