This game has a very creepy setting, but conveyed through a funny art style that looks like the combination of Picasso and Egyptian wall art, which strengthened the creepiness in a bizarre way. 5 points for graphics!

You know... I have been in 9 jams now.this, this is the most bizarre game I have ever played. The graphics from a glance they seem not very good but I am very impressed how you can chop off induvidual fingers and nipples. I kept putting body parts in but nothing was coming out of the chute. There is a single sound in this game... the button. An avant garde game, but one thats unsettling to play. I will remember this game thats for sure.
This is an excellent meta rendition of the jam's theme portrayed in a hand-drawn art style that is certain to set it apart. From the decision to go B&W and the off-kilter mood and theme, this is a game worth exploring, even in its rough state. I think audio could have added to the experience, but then again, there's a silent film vibe going on where it works without it. I think then that one way of working around the lack of sound would be to add some more visual fx to aid the player in taking actions, in other words, so that action and reaction are very "juicy" and discernable. 3.5 overall!
Well, that was weird x)
I don't really understand what are the outcomes of the game. I assume it's unfinished, since you left a message in it saying you needed some adjustments. But hey, great job nonetheless ;)
Creepy and weird, but interesting if it's finished.
It's a profound game, and it's inspiring, like a silent movie. We trade our lives for something. Sometimes we get a lot. Sometimes we get nothing. For example, I can no longer play games with my friends with a game controller if I have sold my hands. It's really fun to get unknown items like a raffle！The downside is that the game has some problems, often with body parts suddenly disappearing even if I don't trade them.
I think this game was interesting and funny at the same time! I think there should've been more impact by removing body parts bit by bit.
I really enjoyed the exploitative nature of this! It felt good to mess around and figure things out! I'd love to see it finished tbh. :)
I loved the atmosphere. Some soft Aleatoric music could sell the overall mood a bit more, but I definitely enjoyed the weird sound of the button press, mixed with the bizarre trading of body parts for nostalgic messages. Where are they body parts going? Who's sending us these personal memories? Are they ours? Definitely enjoyed this game! Great art style. Reminds me of Gary Panter's Cola Madness.
Interesting unique weird experience. Thought it worked well in an abstract way with the art and gameplay. Think the items and descriptions were also interesting in revealing more of the story.
Unique yet disturbing game. Has a dark tone but the items add a lot of story to the player. Not sure if the items are random but I like the idea of you getting them every once in a while after you give up some of your body parts! Surprised you got this much done considering how little time you had to finish it, so good job!
