After some serious consideration, this scores decently high on innovation, theme, graphics, and mood. Very effective use of human face as a tool of disturbance. There is a chance that if someone with mental issues plays this their sanity may end up being farmed. But question remains, who is the farmer, to whom do the crops go?

I turned the lights off in my room to heighten the experience but I still wasn't especially disturbed or creeped out to be honest. I sort of expected some kind of progression or change if the game is supposed to be farming sanity from me, but it felt like pretty much the same experience the whole time. Made it to 14:48 before stopping. Would be cool to see something like this with more variety and player interaction (but I suppose the repetitiveness and lack of control is the point here).

Clicking on the right side of the screen will allow you to progress and the left will allow you to give up and quit.\nThe concept being clicking on different points of the right side of the screen will activate more and less intensive versions of the next stage some consuming more time and others draining more sanity.\nBeing a single parent and trying to make a game in a weekend is a hard feat but im glad i have been able to produce something and do lots of fun stuff with my son at the same time (we been working on a lego city) However even now at midnight as im uploading the game he just woke up and i had to settle him haha.\nSo because of that i couldn't implement as many extra paths as i wanted but still enough for the experience to work.\nThe visuals where created using a Character i made years back and have used in several experimental projects over the years. A while back i started working on a strange video art film with the idea of turning into an NFT when that FAD was still big nothing came of that project so i reworked the visuals I started with that and completed them and i think they suit this project better. Everything was Created by me only.\nOverall it's been a good start back to gamedev with this strange little project.![Life's a Glitch (2021) NFT Film Screener.00_00_34_15.Still017.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/085\/1\/z\/54c2e.jpg)![Life's a Glitch (2021) NFT Film Screener.01_06_20_02.Still011.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/085\/1\/z\/54c2f.jpg)![Life's a Glitch (2021) NFT Film Screener.00_07_23_15.Still015.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/085\/1\/z\/54c30.jpg)![Life's a Glitch (2021) NFT Film Screener.00_30_07_05.Still005.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/085\/1\/z\/54c31.jpg)","title":"Sanity Farmer","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/323001+323002+323003+323004+323005+323006+323007+323008+323009+323010+323011+323012+323013+323014+323015+323016+323017+323018+323019+323020+323021+323022+323023+323024+323025+323026+323027+323028+323029+323030+323031+323032+323033+323034+323035+323036+323037+323038+323039+323040+323041+323042+323043+323044+323045+323046+323047+323048+323049+323050+323051+323052+323053+323054+323055+323056+323057+323058+323059+323060+323061+323062+323063+323064+323065+323066+323067+323068+323069+323070+323071+323072+323073+323074+323075+323076+323077+323078+323079+323080+323081+323082+323083+323084+323085+323086+323087+323088+323089+323090+323091+323092+323093+323094+323095+323096+323097+323098+323099+323100+323101+323102+323103+323104+323105+323106+323107+323108+323109+323110+323111+323112+323113+323114+323115+323116+323117+323118+323119+323120+323121+323122+323123+323124+323125+323126+323127+323128+323129+323130+323131+323132+323133+323134+323135+323136+323137+323138+323139+323140+323141+323142+323143+323144+323145+323146+323147+323148+323149+323150+323151+323152+323153+323154+323155+323156+323157+323158+323159+323160+323161+323162+323163+323164+323165+323166+323167+323168+323169+323170+323171+323172+323173+323174+323175+323176+323177+323178+323179+323180+323181+323182+323183+323184+323185+323186+323187+323188+323189+323190+323191+323192+323193+323194+323195+323196+323197+323198+323199+323200+323201+323202+323203+323204+323205+323206+323207+323208+323209+323210+323211+323212+323213+323214+323215+323216+323217+323218+323219+323220+323221+323222+323223+323224+323225+323226+323227+323228+323229+323230+323231+323232+323233+323234+323235+323236+323237+323238+323239+323240+323241+323242+323243+323244+323245+323246+323247+323248+323249+323250+323251+323252+323253+323254+323255+323256+323257+323258+323259+323260+323261+323262+323263+323264+323265+323266+323267+323268+323269+323270+323271+323272+323273+323274+323275+323276+323277+323278+323279+323280+323281+323282+323283+323284+323285+323286+323287+323288+323289+323290+323291+323292+323293+323294+323295+323296+323297+323298+323299+323300+323301+323302+323303+323304+323305+323306+323307+323308+323309+323310+323311+323312+323313+323314+323315+323316+323317+323318+323319+323320+323321+323322+323323+323324+323325+323326+323327+323328+323329+323330+323331+323332+323333+323334+323335+323336+323337+323338+323339+323340+323341+323342+323343+323344+323345+323346+323347+323348+323349+323350+323351+323352+323353+323354+323355+323356+323357+323358+323359+323360+323361+323362+323363+323364+323365+323366+323367+323368+323369+323370+323371+323372+323373+323374+323375+323376+323377+323378+323379+323380+323381+323382+323383+323384+323385+323386+323387+323388+323389+323390+323391+323392+323393+323394+323395+323396+323397+323398+323399+323400+323401+323402+323403+323404+323405+323406+323407+323408+323409+323410+323411+323412+323413+323414+323415+323416+323417+323418+323419+323420+323421+323422+323423+323424+323425+323426+323427+323428+323429+323430+323431+323432+323433+323434+323435+323436+323437+323438+323439+323440+323441+323442+323443+323444+323445+323446+323447+323448+323449+323450+323451+323452+323453+323454+323455+323456+323457+323458+323459+323460+323461+323462+323463+323464+323465+323466+323467+323468+323469+323470+323471+323472+323473+323474+323475+323476+323477+323478+323479+323480+323481+323482+323483+323484+323485+323486+323487+323488+323489+323490+323491+323492+323493+323494+323495+323496+323497+323498+323499+323500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/9a\/9abccaa64c6953876c5ccc10a6b205d753e156fb1a0731cf3ceb6d0d2e09e168","record":"shard-1\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/46cab0f1d4223e196f798c43621cb367641057665147cc5c7d0a08efc43c9a98.json","sha256":"9abccaa64c6953876c5ccc10a6b205d753e156fb1a0731cf3ceb6d0d2e09e168","source":"https","stored_at":1784022460}}
