Would you like us to do another Major Jam?
Definitely helps to cope with quarantine and get one's mind busy

Haha this is great. Really loved the story and concept is hilarious. And the end result is quite polished for a game jam project. Nice work!

Paper TrailThis one really got me. I love the narrative and the mecanics work pretty well, especially the routines of the AI, they are simple but add a lot. Things to improve: You should add basic functionality like pausing and a simple checkpoint or saving system, i couln't finish the game because i lost too many times and felt really frustraiting to do the same steps everytime, especially because some of those losses were due to presing esc to pause and instead quiting the game, or the character buggin out and couldn't walk anymore. Also, i think having the ability to walk by clicking the mouse on the floor would be a nice addition. Regardless, excellent game.

Lone RecorderThanks! The ESC button was added at the last time. Sorry about that. Moving the character with the mouse would definitely be a fine addition, as well as checkpoints.
I was hesitant to remove this but at the end I left the character to only walk. However, you can pick some Painkillers from bathroom and, once you consume them, your back-pain is gone and you can run. I agree though that it's way too hidden and should be highlighted or even be part of a tutorial.
Regardless, thanks for playing!
Yeah, that's a good idea. I could add multiple Painkillers scattered around and each one allows you to run for a few minutes. The main character could start with an active Painkiller effect, so that when it runs out, he says something like "Ah! My back hurts! I need some Painkillers". The player would then immediately associate the slow walking animation to the Painkiller effect and look for one.
This could make up for some interesting situations!
It's an awesome game but I think it violates the Isolation rules...

Totally Normal Island SurvivalI was worried it would be perceived this way, but decided to carry the idea anyway. The thing is that all characters are isolated inside the house, so the killer has to decide when and how to strike. Pretty much like all characters from "And then there were none", but seen from the perspective of the killer.
Same with the limitation: It's not that there aren't any things while playing the game, but it's the final condition for winning: There are no living things left alive in the house.
Thanks for playing though :-)
I think he means the restriction, there's a "no living things" requirement for this Major Jam.
We're still allowed to update games, so you can still try! Zombies and skeletons etc aren't considered living things, so maybe a skin change?
It'd be such a shame to be disqualified
The isolation theme is fine I think :)
Yeah, I considered making a game about killing zombies instead or your family members. That may have been better perceived. However, I dismissed this for two reasons: The first one is that it would diminish the impact: Each family member has a different background and really wanted to highlight their personality. Zombies are... zombies.
The second one is that the description says that both the theme and restriction are open to interpretation. I'm the kind of person that likes giving things a twist, so instead of going the normal path, I thought it would be cool that the restriction references the winning condition: After you kill your family, there are no living things left (remember you're on your deathbed, so you're as good as dead).
Thanks for playing though! :-) Hope you liked it!
