This is reaaaaaally creepy...

Nothing like what I expected. And I have no idea how to describe it.

That farmer wasn't actually that scary, but the whole concept and atmosphere definitely gave me chills...

This can't be unseen, I probably won't be able to sleep properly tonight. Lol. Great job!

This game is so unsettling to play haha, but it suits the theme in a pretty unique way! I’ not really sure how to describe this but it certainly was an experience!

I think it could make for a really good narrative horror game with crazy plot twists!

Developer(+1)

thank you so much!! Im really glad you liked it, also pretty awesome that you played all the one to an ending, thats amazing!

The graphics and atmosphere were really special, this was a lot of fun.

Interesting atmosphere at first I thought I was a cow and then I saw the human cows. I got three of the 4 endings. The audio design is great. Overall great job. :D (Is the front text blinking a message in morse?)

Developer

the morse thing would be genius, but its actually just random :( thanks for playing!!

Darn I thought I had picked up on something lol.

Really cool creepy atmosphere, I found the humans especially freaky! There were a couple small things I noticed - one is that there's a lot of shrubs near the fence that are inedible but it looks like they should be . The other is that a couple times I somehow managed to break the camera controls so mouse movement would only move the camera when one or both of the mouse keys are held down.

But overall it's a great submission :)

Developer

moo thanks :D

At first is was like...

But then i ate grass next to the human cow, and ....

And then the cow human killed me!

Developer

This is a strange experiment. I also found it weird that you created the game in almost 24 hours.

I feel like you didn't communicate the fat level or how to change it inside the game. Reading the description helped, but this is not how I would prefer things.

Exactly, almost didnt sleep from friday to saturday cause sunday I would be busy.

I tried to give subtle hints about the gameplay, like the icons next to the percentage meter (dead cow on the left, butcher knife on the right), also subtle hints on the existance of the grass eating mechanic, like when an npc eats, theres a very clear progress bar and you spawn neat an npc eating.
I chose to “teach” the game in a subtle way because thats how I like games to teach me how to play (instead of huge chunks of text or dialog), but I found out this isnt for everyone. Thanks for playing tho!

I understand that different people have different preferences, so I'm sharing my opinion since I don't have another one))

Developer

Thank you so so much for sharing! Im really glad you played! I think its important that you share because then I know how many people struggled to understand the game as is, and I try to improve it, maybe highlighting the grass as someone commented, and stuff like that.

Submitted(+1)

You could explain it in a 5-second intro cutscene))

  • A 50% meter at the top.
  • Two arrows to two different outcomes (fat or skinny)
  • Butcher-cow at the bottom with two arrows from the previous states

This could even go to the game over screen

that cows gonna haunt me in my nightmares haha. That legit scared me. At some point i thought if I got my percentage high enough I could start looking for a way to escape, but that angered the moo man...so i ran...and then i wanderedin in the wast staying in the safe zone food wise...until finally i made a brake for it...there was no exit, and i was low on food, and then he appeared...The Moo was on the horizon and i ran frantically trying to find food as the moo gave chase, and eventually caught me.

pretty fun game, super weird. I think mechanically the game is sound, my feedback is that it would be good if the eatable items were highlighted when you are near them to inidicate that you can eat them. I presentation wise, you nailed it, the vibe is creepy, and everything that needs a sound has one. Nice work, I had fun.

Developer

mooo! thank you so much for the tips and review, I loved the idea of highlighting grass, many people commented they didnt understand that you had to eat grass, and a highlight would help in this matter very much, ita an amazing idea!
