A very compelling gameplay loop.
It feels like we are only getting a small peek into this creative sci-fi world of hobbits genetic modification.

The unsettling tone, and few scattered surreal elements quite successfully conveyed the quiet insanity of overworking yourself in sleep deprivation. 

Very cool game!  A great entry. :clap:

I really enjoyed playing the game! Very well put together. I went for a full Cod-Brains build with rushing the tech options, and I wasn't really worried about money. My guys  were going to town on brains constantly. 

I agree with an earlier comment that the "ESC" closing the game was a bit confusing, as I exited the game just trying to get off the in-game computer screen. 

It was certainly an eerie vibe, but I did not find it particularly scary.

I don’t trust the fish, but I kept feeding them anyway. I think they know something.


This is very well done!

Not much in terms of horror to be honest, but this is an oddly addictive game. I really enjoyed the gameplay loop and if you manage to make this game code modular, you can easily have a short managing minigame that can easily hook players! :D

I really loved this, ending fell a bit flat for me, would have liked more bang even if it looked cool, but this is really well made and was super enjoyable to playthrough.

I really enjoyed this game. The atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed taking care of the fish. I could see myself playing this for hours if it was expanded after the jam.

Thanks so much for playing!! What features would you be interested in seeing?

Fun story. Pressing escape on the computer exited the game (I thought it was to exit the computer screen). I think the door should have been locked until I was able to leave instead of putting up an invisible barrier, but that might just be me. Great job!

Thanks for playing!! Noted, I should've set the text to "Exit to Desktop" or something similar.
