Meat Your Unmaker by freakoftheyear

made by freakoftheyear for LD 44 (JAM)

Card Collection meets The Dating Game! Answer questions to fill out your Deck of Cards. The cards represent your life (memories, choices, likes, dislikes, essence etc) - this will be your currency later in the challenge. With this small selection in hand, you are thrust into an existential cosmic struggle. The aim of the game is to find your perfect match while not angering any of the other Gods (they will straight up end you.) It is okay to be initially confused by the Gods; as you will find out, they are also confused by Humans.

Divine Aspects:

When you try to please the gods, take note of their reactions to your answers, marked by the aspects and icons of like and dislike.

The art is great, the sound effects are amazing and the writing is splendid.

The font choice might not be the best though. I initially read the first answer as "ripped women", but that just might be a Freudian slip on my part.![1275119ca4481fcd319b392f7413d91f.png](///raw/5a1/01/z/2267c.png)

Overall, it feels very polished for a LD game.

If you got confused then you're doing it right! THE ELDRITCH GODS APPROVE.

That was hilarious even though I had no idea what I was doing (could be a bit more clear on what symbols do what). Loved the sound effects in the intro and the art is spot on. It sure made me chuckle at its absurdity. Very polished as well.
I love Wolfram and Wolfram loves me!

I'm all about the Ab-Nippurath. He is not your conventional god, either.. >_>

The idea is interesting. I liked it. Maybe there was a bug. On the 3rd chair no one sat. I was pleased with the graphics, but unfortunately it didn’t go through to the end, it’s too long dialogues. Thanks for playing)

I like your art style. Interesting Idea, but I did'nt understand which card effected which god.

I'm thoroughly confused as well. I think there needs to be clearer feedback, as the choice you make seems to affect all four gods at once but its hard to tell what went right and wrong. Feels really surreal and the idea is pretty cool though.

I love the concept and theme of this game! It doesn't exactly fit the theme but I don't care! The theme was holding this game back! XD (as a compliment, of course). It's amazing what your team did in just 2-3 days. (: The only feedback I can give is it would make the ending paragraphs easier to read if you split them into at LEAST 2 paragraphs instead of one ginormous paragraph clump. Other than that, I'm loving it haha.

Very nice graphics, audio, even voiceover which is very uncommon in LD games! Everything fits together nicelly and creates great mood! Font could be more readable but I agree that this one fits the mood. Even though I problaby knew how I was supposed to play the game I anwsered what felt funny to me and kind of randomly but I still got hooked with B.I.G. in the end. I don't see much of a connection to the theme but besides that it's super good entry!

I really liked the art and audio in this game, but the gameplay part fell a bit short IMO. Also Wolfram best waifu.

Awesome game, very weird, totally confusing, but that's the good thing about it. Got nameless misty in the end, greatly enjoyed it.

Good sound and idea, But nice to have a skip pauses by "space" like.

Yay I got chosen by Uggo-Sathla! :grin: Fun game, I like the lovecraftian aspect and the animations and characters are cute. Definitely agree with @piter about being able to skip phrases.

The first time I thought hard, was unsuccessful, and found no love.

The second time I dipped my mind into the fourth dimension and split it thrice. Logic and unlogic twined in the space of a breath, and with love replete I kissed sweet Jubiflex.

(Great job on this game! Well written, voiced, and executed :smile:)

Haha, I like the idea but I'm not sure how to play it well. Even though it was fun. The sounds and voices are great.

In...teresting. Nice graphics and cool to hear some recorded voices. But I didn't understand anything :)

Thanks for all the comments ^_^ We're glad you all enjoy the Gods, and we do understand that the game can be confusing, but is still fun :3
