Hi there!

I'm sure you've heard the news by now that your entry has sadly been DQ'd, but as a judge, I thought I'd post my video of me playing the game and comments about it as a courtesy, so that you get feedback on how it was played, etc. anyways. Either way, thank you very much for giving the gift of this game to the world - because every game is a gift. Every piece of artwork is worthy of existing, and I thank you for creating it.

I'm one of the 6 judges for this RPG Maker Game Jam 2025. I was one of the 2 judges assigned to your game, and we have been assigned to rate your games according to each metric highlighted on the game's main jam page, and submit these ratings to the organisers, who then appropriate what happens with that.

As stated earlier, rule #4 on the main page states to "Aim for a playable experience with a minimum playtime of 15 minutes", and since this was finishable in 2-5 minutes, it was sadly disqualified. But I would nevertheless like to share my VOD of me playing your game, which has my thoughts at the end too.

Here's the VOD:

There clearly is some thematic importance attached to this game, even if sometimes its maps seem somewhat haphazard and a little all over the place, and the length is very short. However, I think that if you clean up maps, tighten the thematic focus, and try to get a longer, perhaps more relayed narrative going so that *I* as a player can also feel those emotions, then I believe that you can continue to grow as an artist to be all that you can be. Keep making games, because every game is a gift. I am thankful that you chose to use your time and effort to make this.

Much love!

Thanks for submitting your game. Unfortunately, your entry has been disqualified due to its extremely short length and unfinished state. I was able to complete it twice in under 5 minutes, which doesn’t provide enough content for proper judging. That said, we encourage you to keep building on it and developing your skills for future projects!

While the game seemed promising and had a nice catchphrase, I can't really understand it: it feels and looks surreal, I played it in about 2 minutes, so I assume I somehow ended up "cheating" it, and the message was at the same time so clearly plastered on your face, yet so... surreal? I can't understand this game and, even between the obvious red flags it has in assets usage, I can't give it a purely negative score, because it gave me food for thought.
