• A survival game that revolves around a close community was a really great take on the theme. Using board game style mechanics was also something that could have been a wonderful vehicle for some impactful storytelling. Unfortunately, it seems things didn't really pull together over the jam (which largely seems to be a case of the project's scope being way too ambitious,and game design maybe not being well aligned with story telling goals). I think you pulled off an impressive amount of wins with this project. That said it seems like the game's core mechanics weren't fully fleshed out, making for an experience that fell short of it's potential. With a different approach, I think this kind of thing could have worked incredibly well. Rather than constantly circling the board, playing towards a clear end goal would have shifted things from feeling like an aimless loop, to a shared quest towards a satisfying ending. Similarly, the choices and consequences presented for each event could have been a lot more impactful with some shaking up. High fives for shooting for the stars with this one, and for having such a unique entry within the jam!
