I don't really know what I did, but I almost won! I did find one glitch where my human got stuck and then left the house without taking me with him. Cool art and aesthetics but lacking some polish, overall pretty good. Can't wait to play a post-jam version :)

How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of the player being the one out of control, we tackled the theme by having a village of people that are "out of control" of their own lives, as the player possess & torments the AI humans. The whole game is centered around a war of control between the satanic forces & the humans.

Cheers! We certainly agree there is LOADS that could be done to improve the game to player communication. There should def be some sort of cursor change or icon when you hover over interactables, as well as clearer communication when the humans are in unstable conditions. I tried getting some sound cues in last minute but they kept infinitely playing and I was like yeaaa naaaah no time for this lmao. In the rush, I forgot to attach the destructible object script to some items so like you said, the candles are kinda OP! I was working on this game till 5am & nobody in my timezone was awake to test for bugs apart from me so I have NO idea why the black screen error happens lmao sorry. Thanks for the feedback - and we certainly agree with you!
jk thanks lmao

Ty! We certainly agree there wasn't enough game to player communication - a product of the 48h deadline heh. In a few months we'll probs be throwing a poll up on our socials for the Soulcube community to vote on which jam game we should remaster - this one would def be my personal fav! 
Mate we commend you for sticking with us that long! Cheers dude.
If you bring the humans to despair (when the slider is empty), you can posses them too - but the majority of the game can be beaten as the rat. I threw up an almost rat only playthrough on the page if you'd like to flick through. 
We def agree that there could be muuuch improvement in terms of the tutorial & the game to player communication. However I'm sure you can tell by the state of the current info sources (the beginning & the pause menu) how rushed we were!
