I didn't include any critique in my video; it is the original gameplay and commentary, edited to enhance the comedic elements of the session. Game critique is included below.
I love how strangely this game flows with the theme of the (Discord) Jam: the theme (e.g. mutation) is carried out by the Mother character slowly degrading over time to reveal a less sad and more ghoulish face. It's so subtle and horrifying.
During editing, I was able to come up with a possible explanation or theory as to the events of the game: the Father, whose dialogue paints him as a careless, abusive and impatient man, killed the Mother whose ghost now haunts the home. Only the child (protagonist; who may or may not know their Mother is dead) can see the ghost and as an act of ultimate revenge, the Mother's instructions lead the the child to poisoning and killing the Father. This is the only way I can explain the Mother's odd movements (especially her head) and the fact that she seems to not want to touch anything. It's ridiculous to have a child use a butcher knife to cut anything, especially hard vegetables and raw meat.
Even if this theory is not the case, this short game was very surprising and fun to play. The sounds of the game were very, very well done.
