How does the game fit the theme?
A bird photographer goes to capture photos of birds, but everything ends up going wrong and he dies. We interpreted Nothing can go wrong... as, well Everything goes wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The car driving audio, and font was used from a royalty free source. Here are the sources:

This was a fun game. So many awesome little details like the level getting darker and the close-up polaroids.
Great job!
I was suprised by the twist in the end. The bird pictures was beatiful and then turn to horrifying spectacles!
The only thing that bothered me was that there wasn't enough space between the lines, otherwise it was a cult experience
Somehow your game doesn't run in the browser on my Mac. Tried both Safari and Firefox. But it did work on my iPad Pro (with safari). That was weird. Not something you might have caught and it could be a "me" issue.
The game is quite interesting. The dark sections were hard to navigate, so some light source would have been nice (the fire doesn't produce light). I love how scary the game became. The ending was pretty abrupt, but that might be the limit for one week's work. Great job and happy I could play the game!
Great art! I loved the storytelling.
Very Minor quibbles: I wouldn't have minded a chance to affect the ending or to photograph the crazy structure.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Appreciate it! We were actually considering both of those, but this was our first jam, so time got a little tight 😅
Really good showing for a first jam effort!
Wow, that took a wild turn, i was expecting bit more from the ending, but still a really cool game!
Much appreciated! It sadly ended up being a little short because of me only having finished a singular game in godot before this (which was the tutorial game in the docs) :)
Really enjoyed playing this!!!! loved the tiny horror aspect of it and the ending too
Thank you!
That was creepy xP I liked the buildup to the cult thingie on that efigy! The day slowly getting darker was pretty ominous. Good job!
Thanks a ton!
A like detailed photos! Cool game
Appreciate it!
Nice work! Cute art and a fun little story. I really liked the mechanic of showing you the detailed pictures.
Appreciate it! It took a while to get just right so I'm happy you noticed!
Amazing, I love the story and those smooth animations. Great work!
Thank you!
Nice game! loved how it kept getting creepier.
Thanks!
I like the system and the storytelling blended with the gameplay, which makes me want to keep following and playing it continuously. Everything turned out really well. I hope to see more works coming out steadily.
Thank you! We might end up expanding on this!
Wow amazing! I loved how taking a photo in a zoomed out view and then seeing the detailed pixel art photo up close turned out. Great effects and vibe.
Thanks, that means a lot! Our artist spent a lot of time on the visuals right!
I love this! It would be awesome to see a longer version someday, it had a really great atmosphere. The gameplay was simple, it would have been nice to be able to move the camera in all four directions, but it worked well for the scope of the game.
Thanks! I did actually make the camera four directional in the start, but removed later it for simplicitys sake. We might end up expanding on the idea, and if so I'll make sure to add that feature back! :)
Thats was creepy as hell, i wished the game continued expanding this idea of something weird hapening, it ended too soon!!
Thank you!
