How does your game fit the theme?
I made a game about the fear of losing control of yourself and your destiny. While the character tries (and fail ) to leave the forest I wanted the player to feel has tough the control he had on the game and his outcome crumbling.

This is by far the best game I've played in this jam. I love the use of player input to push the narrative forward even if it doesn't change the outcome. The first time i played it I didn't realize the audio was off. So I replayed it and noticed how much the walking sound sounds like a heart beat, which made the walking part so much more intents even though I knew what was going to happen.

I was late entering my game but I think we both had the same line of thinking. although your execution of the theme was a lot stronger. If you would ever like to collaborate on a project I would be thrilled to work with you.

I'm making a game jam review video on my YT channel and I would love this game to be featured in it.

Every detail of this game is well thought out and used. This work is definitely unique and perfectly respects the proposed theme. The narration pushes the player to continue the intrigue of this scary universe. The musical atmosphere is light enough to respect the theme of the forest, without too many dismal elements, which would have added to the game. In short, I love it!
