How does your game fit the theme?
The player takes the role as Golden Man, who walks around whispering, "A storm is coming," into people's ears. This upsets them, eventually causing the people to become the storm, leading to chaos. And then it escalates from there.
It's essentially a storm created by the belief of the people—enough of them think there's a storm, and it becomes real, driving the chaos.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I've created all the logic from scratch for this jam in Unreal Engine 5.4, mostly using C++ with a few blueprints here and there.
I made the models and textures myself in Blender and Substance Painter.
The animations use Unreal’s new motion matching system along with Mixamo animations.

The atmosphere and the graphics were really top notch!! Just near the end it felt like the guys I was warning were like camping some of the guys I still needed to get to. But it was fun nontheless! Great job with this!!
Really liked the game, it kinda reminded me of the game called "Haunt the House" which I really enjoyed when I waas younger - this game could use some stuff for it narrative-wise, for example the ones that you've already feared slightly spread discomfort to others (just a very rough idea). I'd make it more clear what is the goal (at one point I thought it is an endless game), and I also got kinda confused where is the gold gate at first, but maybe that's just me... Great stuff, really liked it!
Spreading rumors is so much fun to play, but unfortunately I didn't find a way to replenish my blood in the game, if I could restore some blood for every rumor I spread, it would make the game last longer!
Thanks for the feedback! Allowing the player to replenish health is a pretty good idea.
