In the words of The Comedian, "Somebody explain it to me!!!"

Kinda cute. A bit weird. Fairly good fixed camera angles. Great 3D assets and texturing, sound design is basic but effective. Animation is solid, nice walk cycles. Movement is alright.

There's clearly a ton of technical and artistic skill behind this, but it kinda left me confused and a little at a loss as how to feel about it - it was kind've a string of non-sequiteurs.

The fake PS3 cover is excellent, though. =D

If you want to try explaining this to more people or if you just like fixed camera games, maybe check out the Fixed Camera Appreciation Society...! We'll add Piss Swan to our lists shortly...!

It all stemmed from a couple buds having fun brainstorming jam ideas, this concept was created, and the rest of the game struggled and clawed its way to life. It was an arduous crunch, but we had a great time making it.

Personally, during planning I thought that leaning into the absurdity and esoteric elements of the concept might create a scary experience, also knew it might just come across as goofy and perplexing, bouncing people off.

We had our references, inspiration, and rough outline but mostly just made it up as we went, hence the confusing execution. Regardless, we made this game to have fun and practice aspects of game dev we wanted to improve on.

Thank you so much for the review and the shoutout in your steam group, really appreciate the kind words!

Hey there! Yeah, I think I can sorta get what you were going for, maybe a little like Little Nightmares - that sorta warped fever dream tone. Sorry it didn't work for me, but I can definitely see it finding an audience (and looking at the comments, it did!). Yeahhh - game jams are great for focussing on small parts of game dev upping your skills - like I say, it did look VERY polished! All the best!
