Gameplay footage begins @ 00:00
This was an absolutely unexpected and phenomenal entry into the Scream FM Horror Game Jam. Extended continuation of review below video ↓
By just a few short lines of dialogue in the beginning, you'd be remiss to believe this was just another super secret and strange fanatical cult story because you've managed to subvert everyone's expectations by the ending twist; even with all the foreshadowing, I never expected it.
I love the characters and how they each have their own worldly personalities - it's so fun to imagine how their voices would sound; their designs, as well as the environment, are unsettling and memorable. A part of me wonders, if such a cult with the scientific know-how could or did exist, how many people would unflinchingly give themselves to Bill of the group and never look back. It's a scary thought fit for a Steven King novel!
The most notable thing about this entry is the old Game Boy aesthetic - very cool. I'd gladly play a game developed by you/your team set in a similar uncanny world. The only negative I have is the soundtrack sound level: perhaps it could be a bit lower as it plays on repeat.
As user Oppodelldog said it best, "A deep dive into the shallows of mankind."
