I nibbled all my cheese, like a good little mouse.

Great to hear. Soon there will be more cheese

This was… very strange. Would love to see what a more fleshed out version of this would turn into.

But especially for 5 hours of work, nice job!

It was a strange experience for me too. My body was merely a vessel, converting the divine vision granted to me into a web-playable experience. I actually really enjoyed working on it and am already working on improvements and more content, maybe even get a steam release down the line if the project grows bigger, so stay tuned!

Thank you for playing again!

If you would have told me when I woke up this morning, "Frank, today you're going to have a fever dream where you'll eat the rankest and stankest cheese around," after telling you my name isn't Frank, I'd have told you there's no way that would ever happen.

Yet here we are.

Admittedly I think you have your cheese pungence slider set too high, because I don't think the leap from cheese to parasite is very compelling, but even if I were persuaded that wouldn't make me forget the experience I had here today. I hope that after several months of therapy I'll be able to come to term with this game.

Great work, see you next jam!

Developer

This was the first thing I saw when I woke up and you gave me a good laugh to start the day, thank you for your lovely comment!

The golden path between cheese and parasite is a narrow one I admit. TBH I was just making nibbling cheese on my own and then realised godot wild jam was going on so just submitted it to see what happens, so you are totally valid in your assumption of my cheese pungence.

I'm glad the game has left an impression on you! I hope therapy will be enough.

See you next jam!

Very strange game, but strangely satisfying. I enjoyed exploring the small room you built. I wanted to see all the places I could go. :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! One friend put it as it made them feel like "an old rat exploring their enrichment enclosure" and I think that sums it up quite well. I really enjoyed making nibbling cheese 1, so it is highly likely that there will be a fuller game very soon. I'm still working on the game and have updated the main menu as well as added a new feature: you can now choose your cheese colour:

update of everything i've added until then will go live when the rating perioid ends :3ImageImage

Definitely a unique take although not really sure you incorporated the theme in any way. But exploring the map was pretty enjoyable regardless and the cheeses customization option was a funny inclusion even if it didn't do anything.

Thank you for trying it out! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :3 I hear your concerns about the theme and have updated the theme elaboration bit to include existential parasitism.

I'm waiting for the second entry

nibbling cheese 2 Q4 2024 steam release...

That was quite odd, but unexpectedly enjoyable! I loved the cheese-themed jokes in the main menu and the central mechanic of consuming cheese, even if its outcome is left to the player's imagination :)
