It's dark outside and that means it's a great time for a spooky game, and A Survey in a Small Town will make you uncomfortable in just the right way to take advantage of that darkness, without simply doing a jump scare on you either. The amount of content in here is also quite surprising for a gamejam, that's a great job right there.
The non-linear nature of the game really helps keep you intrigued and thinking along the way, and emphasizes the overwhelming nature of what it is you in the context of this game.
I'd be keen to not say much else though, as it is something you probably should experience first before reading what others have to say.
This was was pretty neat, I've never played anything like it.
It's a nice little story, and the in-between scene has that really cool shader to it.
The music is also a bop.
