I might be late to the party but the game is pretty neat! A minimap would be nice though, you get kinda lost while THE THING chases you around.
Would love to see more of this. I especially loved the animation. It's simple but effective!
But after the thing starts eating buildings the game loses any plot and you walk around wondering where to go next until the pop up to sacrifice yourself comes up. Also hunting animals in the game feels a bit annoying.
But other than the minor problems being caused because it is a game jam, it's overall great!
Keep the hard work and I hope I will see more from you!
