As is my tradition (when I remember), I've gathered some of my favorite games I played during this jam. None of these are perfect by any means, but they were all interesting enough in some way that I thought I should showcase them.

Crystal Library

This game pegs itself as a horror roguelike. Players must search for books in a library guarded by crystal "librarians" who in turn search for the player. The combination of the random generation and stealth mechanics was interesting, and it gave me quite the adrenaline rush to hide behind shelves as the librarians passed. It could use a bit of work selling the horror mood, but it's quite fun as is.

Darkade

Another horror game, this time mixed with breakout. Though the gameplay was fairly annoying (involving hitting specific points with a bounce), this game truly made me feel fear. The retro aesthetic was spot on, and the simulated glitches felt authentic. The chiptune music is just off enough to feel frightening. This game brought out the mood.

As Vast as the Sea

I don't really like VNs, and this one didn't change that much. The writing style set it somewhat apart from the few others I've played. It's listed here, however, because of how well it sold the undersea mood. The music was relaxing and oceanic, and the backdrops were beautiful. Check it out just for that.

Dungeon Solitaire

In Dungeon Solitaire, players must play all the cards in their deck, with each having an effect on the challenges they must navigate. This game had some of the most unique gameplay I've seen, and it stood out among the many card/something games submitted. With some more expansion on its idea and a stronger aesthetic (maybe something like Hand of Fate?), I'd pay for this.

I hope you've found some of these interesting.
