A lot packed in! The no-map solution is pretty elegant and well gamed.

Great writing, but hard contrast colors to read easily. Love the lighthouse!

Strong writing and design, I love the climbing up structure of the coral.

Very creative entry in a sea of crawls. The art is stellar, and easy to use in any game.

The setting is very evocative!

Insanely easy to learn and run.

Very playable and immediately easy to grasp. Excellent use of theme and writing!

Truly outstanding. The factions, the map, the writing, the theme. Great stuff all around, easily usable.

Very interesting replayability mechanic with the NPC types; could easily be a longer adventure!

Great use of the theme!

This is one of the absolute best ideas that could easily get a W here, but currently limited/scary by the price tag.

I loved reading the free demo! Excellent use of cards! Great layout for the villagers!

I love the use of the theme, great map, easy to run!

Well organized and clear to understand!

Excellent map and idea with the title! Hooray for mansion entries!

Incredible idea with the title! Very inspiring and creative, beautiful map, strong writing.

Excellent lowkey entry, wow.

One of the most unique entries. One read and I already knew what I was looking for and how to play. Incredible elegance and game. Looking forward to play this.

Thank you so much for the indepth thoughts!

I felt so funny myself setting the letter like that lmao, I totally see the point but that one was a joke that didn't quite land.

The marinade clue was initially part of the secret table as a Special one listed for clarity, but I had to bite the bullet and leave it only on the room because of space and layout. It's a gamble: Players have to make that connection with the contextual hint of the letter to nail "the true ending", but 9 out of 10 the Bride and the Party are just killing each other.

And yeah, the Hollow Bride marinating herself is a deep irony, but maybe she already feels the need in her own body; that setpiece really helped cement the final solution.

Again, your thoughts are very kind and it really excites me to discuss this all indepth!

Incredible praise, thanks for the kind words. 

Yeah, I wanted to find some more space to breath so bad, but I struggled a lot with subtracting any part of it. They are all so well fit together as is!

High praise! Thanks for the kind words.

High praise from such a prolific author! Thank you for the kind words.

Very creative angle for a living path, very useable in any game. Creepy as hell choice for art!

Legit putting you up on my fav entries, ths art reminds me of Sol Cesto (game)!

Hooray for modules about tragic and lost love!

Stunning map and art. I love the memento collecting as a game mechanic, and also the possible solutions. Took me a little to figure out the pamphlet formatting and the "first page" but this would rock in print.

Oh, this is good. I love what you did with your title. The art is incredible, and the game aspect is sooo solid. One of my new favs.

Feels very easy to pick up and run for any table.

Great mystery and cast, paints a great picture. Could use a more meta What's Really Going On section to present the game and idea fully.

I love the randomization and the goal to visit all rooms to find all anchors.

Any chance to release some community copies for the Jam ratings?

Easily usable in any game as a module between locations. I did miss some more punchy conflict and ending!

Lovely design on dispatching a number of enemies to conclude.

I adore that the Widow is a Praying Mantis, and the tables all work very well. Wild number of creatures for a 4 page module! I did miss a What's Going On section to get my bearings more easily throughout the adventure.

High praise from an author of such a great entry. Let me know if you ever do run it!

Thanks for the kind words on the writing and gameability, I really think they are working too. I have been saying this ended up layout ugly, story rich! 

I actually had a lot of fun with it! I love how the Hollow Bride is the real focus!

I didn't attempt to make it a full handout because I wasn't really sure if it was within the rules! But yeah, feels like a great addition for a future fix after the jam! Thanks for the thoughts.

Oh, I didnt realize there was an issue with search functions! Must be something that happened during flattening or my weird layers. I will be sure to make a fixed version after the jam for better use, thanks for the feedback!

I love the atomic angle and the Taipan art and stats. A radiation clock on the Players would fit well!

Incredible entry. Impeccable writing and art
