Grief & Garbage, which takes place during Halloween of 1990, follows a strange undead spirit, who enters the houses of adult candy-givers to steal candy. To do this, he can split his zombie half from his ghost half, allowing him to maneuver around the many supernatural threats he encounters in the warped suburban landscapes.

An overall amazing game! The Puzzles were well done and the zombie/ghost mechanic was great and implemented well! Graphically and story-wise an absolute gem!

Manor Of MonstersVery very very good game. First of all, great story. Moving and powerful, not even considering that this was made for a short jam. Pieces of the puzzle are presented at an excellent pace.
And the gameplay! Very creative, this and Spectral Shift are both so interesting. Feels like it would be satisfying to speedrun. Also, the d-pad animation is perfect.
Definitely one of my favorites in this jam and out. Great work!
This game has a lot of depth to it for a jam game. Good visuals, interesting mechanics, story, and the sound is on point too. It even seemed like the bgm would partially cut out during the sfx where people speak, which reminded me of how it actually works on the gameboy since one of the audio channels would need to be used for the sfx. That was a nice detail. The puzzles are fun and I like how it teaches you the mechanics slowly. Great job!

Purga-Story DemoI never thought throwing my entire skeleton at an enemy would be a valid tactic, but here we are. Great puzzle setup and concept as well as some story thrown in. Excellent job.
