As badly as I just want to leave "BRUH" as my comment I have to say that this game kept me very engaged throughout. The graphics are lovely and the ending explained the story well. This is the most shocking LD entry I've ever played. I think it will get a lot of discussion going here in the comments and will probably get a good ranking as well. Good job on putting this together! I chose to live because he didn't do it consciously.
? Cut the Rye and then got stuck nothing happened. ? Bug.
@jakobthequizguy Yes man, I'm glad that you played that and congrats you with the first comment in this discussion. And thanks for sharing with your choice.
@arowx I don't think it's a bug. You just need go back to your home.
perfect visuals, sounds and storyline! vibes of good old flash golden age
@kiv Thanks my friend! This is indeed a kind of homage to Flash era.
I have no words after playing this, but I do have high ratings LOL
Game great! Last boss my left finger hurt and sweating! Found tactics to corner it insted of it cornering me - easier kill. Overall amazing entry!
Very good plot, deep characters and several endings. 5 cows on trees out of 5
I honestly don't know what to say. If I had stopped playing at any point I would have thought WTF, but that one message at the end brought it all together. Really well done, but maybe add a little content warning to the game page.
It's definitely shocking... but it brings it home at the end. Makes people think, makes people react, makes people talk moves things forward...
If anything I would put a little WARNING in the description and at the beginning. But definitely worth a play... For horror fans though.
@kepsert @dzugaru @alexascher @andidebob @keenao Wow, such a great thanks for kind responses. I'm really happy that you finished the game and got message (in a broad sense). Still I'm not sure that people will accept this game and a lot of them will reject it. BTW I putted small warning about content on title screen in last update.
Wow, a bold game! Makes you feel. Great job, keep it up!
That was unexpected, thanks for keeping the game description and screenshots spoiler free. That was really important to the general experience of the game.
I chose "live". I thought (before finding out about the thing at the end) that letting him die was too easy an exit. Live and make amends, I say.
I can't say I enjoyed that though, it felt like shock for shock value's sake and even the explanation in the end didn't really justify it for me? I did come in with some expectation as someone I know recommended it to me, so I didn't think it'd be like that? So maybe that colored my perception a bit. It certainly is a unique entry though.
@xk-the-name Thanks a lot! I liked your game too! @lex I tried to keep it spoiler free but I think it's not fair because it could harm someone. So I've added small warning on game title screen :)
@rincs Thanks for the honest review, I really appreciate it. I tried to use shock mostly as part of body horror genre and of course I knew, that some people will find it too disgusting, it should be so for controversial content.
@deniskazantsev The body horror was actually the milder content in there I think. The other stuff that happened there was what bothered me. But eh, not my game and it's not for me. *shrug*
@rincs I always wondering why violence is more acceptable than just adult themes... Thanks for your feedback again.
Most shocking jam game I've ever played. This was also fun but like in a weird way.
