This game is something else. it's true that the gameplay is lacking, and maybe the art part in the non video section is kinda lacking. But the experience overall is supercool, i loved the found fotage style bits and it was really well done for a game made in 72h i think this is one of the coolest things i have played so far this jam

This was really disturbing.
I hope noone living things being damaged especially for this game. =(

Overall, conception is unique.

And i must remind, that liver is may be taste, but also toxic. So don't eat it often.

@darchankaen Don't worry! The liver was sourced from a butcher and was free range. Thanks for playing!

Was not expecting that! So much in this. The mini games all worked well. There was the right mix of confusion, revelation and reward. The cut scenes where great and generally I was horrified in the right way. In terms of the video it might have been better to deiterlace the footage, but it also had it's charm as it was. Great work

Loved the mixed media format was really cool - haven't really seen anything else like it. The mix of story and game play enhanced both.

Dug the graphics and the sound really added to the mood.

Enjoyed the mini-games. Found the non-stealth ones a bit easy, and the stealth one kind of difficult but I'm bad at stealth. Got through to the end eventually :)

it's a bit rough around the edges, but I enjoyed what was there. the FMV really brought me back to the old days! :smile: really cool that you built this in a custom engine?

HAHAHAHA Loved this one. I love experimental games like these. The blend of different mediums is quite a unique design approach. The story is simple, but with the supporting footage, it becomes so much more effective. Creepy but really fun.

I think this should be considered art. Great job!

Very interesting and a surreal. Mini games worked well as bridges between the live action.The stealth section being more difficult interrupted the flow a little.

This game felt like playing an experimental art piece and I definitely love that about it. The slightly creepy vibe of the live action stuff intermixed with mini-games made for a generally unsettling mood that I enjoyed. Would normally love seeing more gameplay elements but I get the sense that isn't necessarily intended to be the focus for a game like this. Very unique and memorable entry!

@simex Yeah! It was made with the Love2d framework, but other than input and drawing handling, the rest of the logic, collision, ai etc. was made from scratch.

My goodness this was visceral. A really nice package from start to finish, and it's cool to have seen multiple takes on the theme! The "Delivery" section was hard to beat without a lot of trial-and-error, which killed the pacing a little bit for me. But it still added to the whole vibe of the game, which was frankly horrific. A really artful and boundary-pushing jam entry. Amazing work; please keep making games!

I liked the mood and your interpretation of the delivery theme, nice one!

I both hate and love this game, as it is quite initiative, while also being quite horrific. Also, the live action put... interesting feelings inside of me. Overall, a nice game!

Really weird, I like it! My only complaint is the delivery section felt a little trial-and-error, and broke my immersion.
