The sound and art are great, and the whole atmosphere of the game is really well-constructed - it was so horrifically sinister the entire time.
The game is so cruel and sadistic, having to choose from three adorable animals and then being made to slowly chop it up, that it feels like the kind of thing you would see in a documentary about violent video games; I imagine most people would get a few disapproving looks if they were seen playing this (this sounds like a criticism, but it isn't - I actually really like how much the game leans into this theme).
If I had to address one issue with a game, I would say that it feels like the player isn't progressing towards anything, but just aimlessly brutalising their prey - though maybe this is the point of the game.
Overall, I enjoyed trying this out, even if I did feel disgusted with myself the entire time. Great work!
But that being said the part about this experience that is missing is gameplay that doesn't exist. I would call it more like an interactive experience than a game. Maybe if there was a part where you needed to do something more than just select creature you would feel more that killing those creatures is an actually sacrifice. Like you need to befriend them by doing some mini game or something :)
I might have nightmares about this.
But seriously the art and sound are amazing, good job.
Those poor animals...

Graphics and sound set the atmosphere of a fun game, but the gameplay is cruel. I like the combination of two things that are so different.
