Ranked from 9 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How did you choose to implement the Theme: Eldritch Abomination in your game?
The game involves a very strange and unnatural Eldritch presence leading the player to question whether it takes place in reality or a dream. There's no gore or cheap scares. It's much more psychological.

Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
1 - A Cult plays a very important role in the game.

2 - The entire game is steeped in mystery. The player can only unravel what's happening by continuing to play the game for multiple runs.

3 - There are 4 resources that cause the player to lose (or wake up?) if they are drained, and also if they fill up too much.

Amazing game, reminds me of that one game about being a king. I couldn't get "broke" ending, but those that i,ve got are great!

Really enjoyed this one, especially how the story was presented and the fact that there was a variety to the music! One of the pieces sounded very out of place though, too upbeat for a horror title in my opinion and took away from the atmosphere when it popped up.

Obviously very similar to Reigns, but trying to balance all the different elements really made it feel like you were being pushed into a corner by the various characters so that worked really well for a horror title. Would love to see more things like the radio cards -- weird things like glitched/blank cards, excerpts from the book, etc popping up.

With a bit more content, and a shift in the art style to make it more distinct from Reigns, you could have something really special here as I probably played this most out of all the entries! You could genuinely have a title worthy of a full release on your hands!
