I enjoy the art and creepy mood of the game. You really nailed the atmosphere of something very strange going on. I could not figure out what to do after a couple minutes. Pressed all the keys I could think of for additional controls as I see there is an icon in the top left. Still left puzzled, but an interesting vibe.

The art is very nice, but I didn't understand how to survive trying to pass around the knives, so I couldn't play more :/

The audio and graphics are unique and nice, but I have no idea what to do :P

Loved the game. Although a tutorial would have been useful, I watched the gameplay, and when I finally figured out what the hell to do, it was awesome. I think you did a great job with the animations and overall graphics. But above all, the audio signal that shows you when you are about to harvest a human? That is genius. You have a couple of bug fixes to do, though: most notably, the game crashed after it asked me what was that (I suppose it wasn't a dog).

No mystery, I just forgot to commit the translated version :)
Original text did include some local joke meant for our local party.

I only understood what to do after watching the gameplay, I think it is well done but confusing without the video.

Had no idea what to do until watching the gameplay but glad I did. The visuals and atmosphere created with the music and disturbing animations was great. I didn't like the fact that you couldn't do anything to escape the knives because there wasn't really a challenge or sense of anything to overcome except to harvest lives just to be able to survive the knives. Also I think it would have helped for the harvesting audio cue to be a little longer because I didn't even notice it on my first playthrough and it was only after watching the gameplay video that I realised there even was a separate sound effect to listen out for! But overall, I really liked the vibe and the disturbing sound effects, just wish it was a little more polished/longer/didn't crash (but it is a jam so hey!)

Nice creepy look but horribly confusing without any instructions and harvesting audio was quite harsh.

I'm pretty sure the shrooms played a bigger part than just a source of inspiration with this one :thinking: Really had no idea what I was doing, even after the gameplay video :sweat_smile:
