This game was so fun to play! I love the puzzle games where you have to explore your surroundings to figure out the story. And it pushed Arcweave's uses to its limits and used a gameplay style that I honestly did not expect to be possible via a narrative game software! I've been a huge fan of the Rise of the Golden Idol for a while, so when I saw this game's presence for the first time, I IMMEDIATELY locked tf in! Nice use of an original animation video in the beginning as well!


My one criticism is perhaps more lore of the pigs is needed (SPOILER ALERT). For one of the puzzles that said the medic was threatened by the Sarge with the pig, it wasn't TOO clear to me as I had assumed it was the knife. I'm sure it was supposed to be a red herring and I'm big dumb when it comes to figuring out puzzles, but it might have been a bit too confusing to figure out due to the lack of information related to pigs outside of them eating the bodies outside.


Anyways, fantastic job with this game! Would love to see another puzzle game made by you in this format UwU

Thank you so much! We are glad you liked our game. ❤️

Yup, your reference to the Golden Idol games is spot on. I saw the developers at a games convention giving a speech about The Case of the Golden Idol and The Rise of the Golden Idol games a few weeks ago. They are from Latvia, we are from Estonia, and the convention was in Lithuania (these are all three small Baltic countries in Eastern Europe). I was inspired by the game mechanic and wanted to try making something similar in this jam. 😅
If you're curious, they just put the recording up on YouTube.

You are totally correct in your criticism. The third scene/puzzle is not that well executed. We thought that might be the case, but ran out of time to test it and improve it. 🥲

Would love to try creating more puzzles in this format. I hope there will be more Arcjams in the future to further experiment with it. 😊
