Absolutely disturbing and amazing game.

The art is so off putting in a good way, masterfully done.

The gameplay is also a ton of fun, it didn't take me longer to figure out the best strat is to just jam your body with as much shit as it can hold, but you can't do too much because of the physics and it will cause stuff to get stuck on it's way out, which is actually really clever.

One of my favourite games this Jam, I love the subversion at the end once you pay the debt.

Great work.

Developer

Thanks so much! And congrats on getting the real ending!

This was really disturbing but in such an interesting way, it was genuinely so unique and the graphics complimented perfectly to that uncanny feeling. You achieved such a creepy atmosphere and it was so unnerving to play but I also weirdly couldn't take my eyes away. Easily one of the most experimental and unique games released this jam. Great job on this one

Such a unique game! The claymation graphics paired with the pixel art dithering make for such a cool graphical style (and for whatever reason, it makes me think of the Game Boy Camera). The core gameplay is pretty fun too, especially trying to manage health, hunger, parasites, and money all at once.

Great work!

The art is absolutely out of this world, could not have been done any better. Even the little things like how the items have physics on them. It gives the whole world the feeling of being alive.

What a compliment! Thanks so much for playing!

I'm still thinking about this days later, it's so good! I love that you used claymation for the wildcard.

Very original ! congratz ! The art is disturbingly good too, I love it and the interpretation of the theme is very nice :)

It almost looks like a pixel filter over claymation... however you did it, the style looks awesome. Amazing take on the theme and a really tight gameplay loop.

That is right. The models are clay with a dither and posterize effect on top. Thank you for playing.

Everything really works together to create that creepy and stressful experience very well. Special shout out to creepy dude in window.
Almost died because I couldn't poop out the parasites quickly enough lol

Wonderfully gross, I'm curious how you acheived the look of the eating character. That was neat!

I love this one! The aesthetic really pulled me in, and the gameplay meshed very well with the visuals and audio. The loop was tight, I felt like I was really encouraged to risk my health to get a big payoff. Good stuff!

This made me incredibly uncomfortable. 10/10.

The vibe and art is SO good. The game is really cohesive. I was freaked out.  The digestion mechanic was suprisingly tricky. I am very curious about how yall made the assets.

I really love the freaky artstyle. I think it's a bit dark especially the store which is hard to read. But overall I think you have a really nice game design. And the audio and graphics play good together. Would love to see more from you!

What a psychedelic experience! Still early in the ratings but this has to be one of the more unique takes on the theme. I wasn't able to pay my debt as I was paying more than making, but this was a fun experience. I really liked the physics of the food, meds, and all the other stuff.
