Was fun piecing together the backstory as you walked around the abandoned hospital, got more and more creepy as you went on, and really all on the back of the strong writing, nice job! I think all the others that used PQ had a lot of help from me and each other on the discord, so you did well to get by on your own!

There was a surprising amount of backstory to be found. I really like the fact that it's more or less optional and you can skip it if you want. I don't see why anyone would, as the game is well written. Took the time to play both (and a half) endings. Well worth the time. Endings 2a and 2b (so to speak) were the same for me (the Doctor) though.
The pixel graphics are absolutely up my alley. They look terrific and fit the mood you create nicely.
Fantastic game.

Under the SeaNice to see another PowerQuest game! Very cool, I’m getting Ex Machina vibes. Love the creepy music and the obsession with trash was funny.
Our games actually have some very similar themes and even puzzles!

Shadows Of SerenityNice game :-) - you put a lot of intriguing details about the backstory - and the game's end (uh I've read just now that there are two) is a great touch :-)

Twisted Times in TwinsmouthReally good game. The story caught me off guard. Ah! Kind of spooky. Overall, I enjoyed every aspect; the vibe, the look, gameplay, music, and plot. Short and sweet.

TerramentalThe story really pulls you in with this one, and there's a certain ease of play between both the straightforward puzzles and the intuitive UI that makes this one a joy to play. Both the endings are very evocative and cool too, great work!

My Mother & MeI loved this game's story. It was very interesting and really gave me the feeling of wanting to know more. It was very fun to explore and investigate around the hospital. The cover art is amazing! The atmosphere is excellent and the music is very fitting. One bug I found was that my saves unfortunately disappeared when I closed the browser. I think this is my favorite game from the jam of the games I have played so far.
I have some questions about the story if that is alright?
- Is EVA the main characters daughter? The laptop mentioned the doctor bringing his daughter back.
- I would really like to know why you need to take cover when injecting the termination chemical. I did not really get what happened if you do not. It seems like the ending name was the same.
- Are there more than two endings?
Are you planning on creating a post-jam version? Perhaps with more endings and content?

Mannequin of TimeThank you for playing , glad you like the game! Unfortunately we didn't implement a different save system for the browser, so the saves would be gone if the browser is closed.
We had more story in mind than we actually put in the game(due to the time constraint). It is possible that we will add more content to this game(but no guarantee XD). We'll see if more ppl ask for a post-jam version.
** SPOILER ALERT **
EVA's body is set to be main character's daughter whose brain was severely injured due to an accident. The doctor then wanted to "revive" his daughter by fixing the brain. But the the effect of the compound was stronger than he expected and brought Eva great mind power that allows her to invade other minds, and perform telekinesis. EVA was furious after she found out the doctor wanted to kill her, so she made the hospital collapse to bring him down with her.
There are only 2 endings. For termination ending if you don't take cover in time, the doctor will die, but Eva is still terminated so it's counted as the same ending.
A really nice game! I played twice to get both endings. I enjoyed discovering the story through different articles, entries, etc. I liked the graphics, and the music added to the mysterious atmosphere of the game. The puzzles were not too hard and enjoyable. Good job!

The Lost Borealis ExpeditionAmazing pixel art and story!
Sadly, I only got to the part where I retrieved protocol T. I am unable to add it into the injection device. Maybe I need an extra syringe to do that but I can’t find an extra syringe anywhere.
Submitted
The Last LightSeems like an interesting story, but I think it bugged out :/
In Eva's room, I used the injector on the device but then I couldn't use the helmet on anything. If I used it on the injection device nothing happened (just a brief pause then it went back to normal) and anything else I tried to use it on it just says I can't use it.
