The Flamingo Files by Sherwood
As an eminent scientist, you have been hired in a strange underground Microbiology Department. Where samples of unknown tissues and cells are studied.
Observe and check the samples through your microscope to detect unstable cells. Fill out accordingly the forms and don't forget to validate them. They are precious regarding the activities of the Microbiology Department you're working for.
A little Post-Scriptum
We ran out of time to fully crystalize the idea we had. We wanted to create a dirty area-51 / Cold War vibe. The idea was to study alien's tissues and cells without getting informed. So if this game had further development, we would push forward the scenario elements as well as the difficulty curve (with new types of samples and tools...) Consider this a prototype. We hope you will like our game, we had fun doing it ! 😁
Oh Also, sorry for the almost unreadable font. Gotta pay more attention on that next time 😁

I always love games about filling forms but this one's mood / atmosphere really sets it apart.
(I wonder if the main menu theme would not have been a better fit for the main loop?)
Great job!
Overall great entry. Good Job!
@sli, @junber Thanks a lot ! The art style and music really makes it unique. We really wish we had more time to develop a tiny scenario and at least 2 levels with a new tool and , but this being our first game together we unfortunately couldn't go that far.
Maybe we will consider developing it post-jam :)
I did maybe encounter an issue - the first time I played it, then intentionally input some wrong answers until I got an ending screen. The second time I played for a while with no errors, then when I tried to end by inputting wrong answers nothing ever happened (even when I spammed it a lot).
