I AM RATING THESE ALL THESE JAM SUBMISSIONS RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER. THERE ARE HIGH HIGHS AND LOW LOWS BUT PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS TOO PERSONALLY, AFTERALL, WE ALL ONLY HAD A MONTH.

Story (2):

I am only rating the story so low because at a certain point, the ending just drags on.

I kept expecting a Fade to turn to into a “THE END” but it just kept going on and on. Perhaps that’s supposed to be the point, like the rotting body that is MY WOLF.

Drowning me in references that I won’t understand is also a good way to make be disappointed.

Presentation (3):

The sprite edits and the disturbing act transitions really brought everything together.

You did a lot with what you could do. The CG was amazing. Side sprites and testing out the bubble text feature were interesting decisions.

Creativity (5):

This is the first submission that I’m rating that receives 4 or over in a category. (If you forget about me rating Before You Depart.)

You ready did say to yourself; “What’s the most fucked up thing that I can write for this jam without taking things too far?” And then you made it.

I was thinking that this would just be some sort of Yandere story or like a homage to the movie(/book?): Misery. But you took in a way that still has me quivering.

Total (10):

I am scared to look into your other works. Characters with scleras that aren’t white, freak me a out a little. After reading this, I don’t think I can look at Gin and Rohan the same way ever again. They now look soulless to me.

This was a very spooky and surprising entry. There were some verbose sections (feel free to DM if you want more detail), but aside from that, it's a well structured story! The presentation was also tight, and the extra visuals and sprite edits definitely made it a cut above the average. Good job!

A pretty fascinating entry. It doesn't necessarily feel like there's a lot to it beyond the initial shock, but the prose is good enough to make it an engaging read, and I like how the concept is in conversation with the MY WOLF trope without feeling purely like a meta joke. While visually unpolished, the game has some good ideas there and there, and a nice atmosphere overall.

(Also, bug report: crashes with "OSError: Couldn't find file 'images/shook.png.'." Seems like there's a typo ("shook.png*.*") in the layereredimage definition.)
