This game isn't all that difficult, but you do have to outsmart it a bit. The hot trick is to not kill every xenocyte that comes in - just do the strongest ones, and let the weaklings hang around and feed. Then when you need to farm evocytes, pop a few at a time so they don't overpower you.

I'm one of the people who played this because of ManlyBadassHero! It's the sort of casual horror game I really enjoy playing.

I have encountered a couple of oddities, though:

First, any time I exit and reopen the game, it resets the character's mutation progress.

Similarly, starting a new game without quitting doesn't reset item prices - they only reset once I quit the game and re-enter.

I'm also playing on mobile, and there are a couple problems unique to that platform: first, the X in the menu screens is too small to tap easily, and second, for some reason, tapping anywhere on the screen other than interactive spots always brings up my keyboard.

Definitely a cool game, though. I'm really enjoying all the weird foods and transformations!

I would love to try this, but my PC setup is left-handed. Would it be possible to add the arrow keys as secondary controls? Either way, looks cool!

Sounds good! I'll look forward to that and seeing what your next game is about. :3

Really fun, but the boss's collision box is way too big! I keep getting killed just by touching the air around it.

I really enjoy this game, but I have a real struggle making the time limit due to disability. Would it be possible to slow/extend the clock for casual mode?

This is a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to the next update. :3

Found a bug - when I access the Equip screen to try and select a slot, I get the error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setObject'). In my experience, this kind of bug happens when one of the equipment types (under "Types") is set to 0 entries; if that's the case here, an easy fix is to set the limit to 1 and just leave the first slot blank.

Edit: I'm also having a couple of other issues I'm not sure what to do with. One is that when I choose to tidy either the yard or house, my character gets more tired but nothing actually changes. The other is that the food items you can get at the inn don't recover any HP.

That being said, this is a nice-looking game, and I'm looking forward to see where it goes in the future!

This was funny as shit. Well, except for the part about RPG Maker having no Black hairstyles; that's  just true ;_;

10/10 triggered my thalassophobia

Nope, sorry. Since making this game, I had an accident and lost all the files on my PC, so I no longer have the original game.

I really liked this game overall. It's both creepy and interesting, and I love the use of "press Shift to run" as a kind of meta-scare. Plus, as a cyclothymia sufferer, the differences in the weather and the character's moods from day to day were something I could relate to strongly.

With that being said, though, I really didn't enjoy the general way the game associates mental illness and murderousness. There is a massive stigma against mental illness sufferers in real life because of works that lean on these tropes, and to make matters worse, the game falls into the trap of associating specific symptoms (unstable moods, smiling at inappropriate times) with being prone to murderous violence. It's not so much of an issue with the actual horror portraits, but when it's just the main character smiling over something she shouldn't, I get strong "generic murder mental illness" vibes.

I don't think the plot is irredeemable, to be clear. But it would have been better if it leaned less on ableist shorthand and more on the fact that this girl has clearly been poisoning herself with the well water and her symptoms are probably stemming from that.

ETA: I also really appreciate you putting up a Linux build! A lot of devs overlook that and it's something that's always nice to have.

I found a bug in the starting map. If you follow the path down to where it meets the south hill and interact with that spot, it loads a CG that can't be dismissed, and you have to load from a save to get back to playing.

If this is done updating, would you mind pushing the latest updates to the downloadable version? I really like this game and would like to play it offline.

Are there any chases in this?

I really like this! It just has one issue; the Offer button is bugged and clicking it sometimes causes the game to black out and freeze.

this scared the shit out of me what the fuck

This is a great concept, and the artwork is incredible.  I'd love to see it fleshed out into something longer!

Best game in the jam.

It's a fun game, but I ran into a glitch that kept me from completing it - when I asked Ava if Raven and the other vampire had been in her class, it fed me what looked like the name of the scene in question and wouldn't let me progress.
