Which theme(s) did your game incorporate, and how?
With Canned, we decided to follow both themes, ‘Pigs’ and ‘Everything Has a Cost.” While it is obvious how we were able to show pigs in our game with our main characters being pigs, we also wanted to include the second theme in a more nuanced way. With choices in the story making a big impact on which of the various endings you could receive, even the smallest choice has a cost. Something as small as not picking up an item can drastically change everything. We also wanted to show that while some options may seem easier, the cost they take can be much greater and leave the player with guilt.
Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, what were they and where were they from?
Most of the assets were made by the team, however here's a list of some pre-made assets we included:

this was incredibly well done! the art is gorgeous and the story is super engaging, I was hooked into helping poppy escape! i think at one point my game got messed up because I couldn’t get into the locker room and get the key no matter what, but i watched the gameplay linked in the comments to get the true ending :) lots of fun with different endings and great narrative!!
The visuals were pretty darn good for the characters. I have trouble with visual novels sometimes so I tried to rate without that bias.
Would appreciate if you gave my game a rating too.
I had a great time playing this. The idea is simple but very charming. Well done! If you have time, feel free to try my game too! 😊
Really high quality stuff here!
I love all the talking visuals, theyre so well crafted. The story was definitely frightening, and leaves you with some things to think about. I also thought you had a really interesting and unique interpretation of the cost theme, great job. The puzzles were all very intuitive, and once you put the pieces together it felt satisfying to finish them.
Great work!
One of the best games in this jam! Everything looks amazing, specially the art style.
I liked having different endings, even though I ended up not finding all of them (what’s the toolbox for?) and the vents movement was a smart idea, I really liked it!
Great job for you all.
Thank you for playing! The toolbox is to unseal the vent in the storage room. Since you got to the vent maze, you most likely used it already! Glad you enjoyed <3
Ohh, so that’s how I got into the vent. I was really wondering how, I thought it was because I had to look at the map first. I guess I just spam clicked on all the objects until it worked 😂
Awesome art and music in this one, and the story is great, loved the subtle creepy vibes. One thing I would recommend is to have interact be E as on option or a closer key to allow for better WASD ergonomics. Otherwise great entry and had a lot of fun on stream doing the voices!
The art is great. Half tone dots and chromatic aberration on all the backgrounds is such a nice touch. The character art is great too with nice texture. Great job!
Great story with some very nice art too boot!
im an avid VN fan and im sick of seeing the same thing rinse and repeat all over again, HOWEVER this is so creative and well implemented, the story the theme everything in such a short time too, major kudos!
It's incredible that you were able to create such a game in such a short time. I loved the visuals and progression of the game. Congratulations, well done.
This is cool, I really like the visual style and genre of the game, and it's great that you took the time to finish it.
This is soo good. The art is amazing.
The game is absolutely GORGEOUS, absolutely loved the character designs!!! Very impressive given the time limits of a jam
Art is incredibly impressive given the amount of time given, especially in different mediums. The use of 3D spaces as backgrounds for as visual novel is not something I've personally seen before, and really enjoyed! The characters were so so cute, and I though the execution of the theme was good.
This was such a great game. Art was gorgeous, gameplay was fantastic. story was awesome. I am confused on how you get ending #1 tho. I'm assuming you the oil in some way. Excellent work!
Only got 4 endings, I assume the first one is blowing up the place (lighter, oil, plot convenient dynamite), but not sure when. Very fun!!
You're on the right track! Thank you for playing <3
WOOOOOW THIS IS GOLD!!! I sure wasn't expecting any of this LOL
[SPOILER ALERT]
I might be dumb, but I couldn't figure out how to get the #1 ending... I think it have to do with the oil bottle in the final chasing scene, since you can use the bottle (it makes a different sound), but it seems like nothing happens... :'(
It's quite tricky to get it, you need to use something you may have came across during the game. I don't want to give much spoilers tho! It's nothing to do with the bottle, but you did use it correctly! It's supposed to slow down the meat worker that's chasing you, however, we didn't manage to get to the visuals for that, so you just need to imagine there's a pool of oil on the ground when you use it! :D
Thank you for playing and we are glad you enjoyed it! <3
