Very weird and cool. Very nice dark presentation. I didn't really get the mechanics of the game too well though, it might be a good idea to have some sort of way to better know what the parasite wants. Could also maybe do with some checkpoints. Nonetheless, really cool!
Bizarre, yet pretty fun. I think it would be a good idea to have some sort of bar representing the parasites hunger. Nice work!
Terrifying, great job with the atmosphere. I wasn't sure what to do to calm the parasite when it goes crazy and it would be good to have a visual representation for the hunger maybe? But I like how you need to interact with the parasite in order to move forward, well done!
Very moody, the art is really disturbing, which is the point so it's great, but I think it needs a bit more feedback to really understand what's happening. I did not understand what the characters was supposed to do, it is said they don't harm unless they see the parasite, but I had no idea under what condition they could see it.
This is super weird. But that's what you were going for I guess.. Well done.
BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.
It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

wow that was creepy as
This is cute game with a good set of ability to share between the characters. You should keep working on it after the jam, I like it !
I'm going to have nightmares. Cool Style!!! I would play a complete game of these Good Game :o
Wow, that was creepy! I liked it! ^^
Interesting aesthetics and cool interpretation! Very creepy atmosphere.
Great game I enjoyed it!
Cool aesthetics! Succeeds at giving that eerie old browser game vibe. The gameplay is cool too, mostly because of how well it compliments the overall feel of the game. I'd totally get a point and click adventure that feels like this.
I love it! Great interpretation of the theme! Very cool vibe, it all ties together very very well. Feels like kind of weird art video games that were made in art departments/art website in the late 90s/early 2000s and I miss that aesthetic! Really wonderful!
The atmosphere was very creepy and I liked the artstyle. it was a little hard to juggle moving the parasite and the human quickly to get through the lasers. all around great job!
This was a super creepy experience !!!
A bit rough around the edges, the tutorial could use some more polish but I understand is a game jam.
The creepy atmosphere and the super cool creepy character design kept me going. I was nervous all the way trough, great game.
Take some time to review mine.

Scary game.
pretty cool sound design!
Never thought I would see something like this in a GameJam! Nice work!
Horror game in a game jam, count me in!
The looks and the sounds really build the atmosphere, top notch presentation. The gameplay is also quiet challenging, I dont even know the state of the parasite, am I giving it too much food or maybe not enough, those elements add more to the horror experience. Really stellar work! :)
Wow, really great concept! Very cool art style as well. Reminds me of Spooky's Jump-scare Mansion!
