Haunted PS1 Summer of Shivers [13] It's All Gone
I played: This Is A Public Service Announcement, Remnants in the Water, Thalassic Cleanup. These games and more are here: https://itch.io/jam/hps1sos. Short one this time because I think the next one the list is lengthy.
This Is A Public Service Announcement
An effective way of using limited colors while still being readable. Very neat enemy design. I didn't see what killed me at the end, and I think it might have been a bug.
Remnants in the Water
This was great. The characters were fleshed out in not-that-many lines, and it actually got me a bit emotional at the end. Having normal titles and then Speaker of the Deep is such an evocative choice, I love it. Leaf Let also did the music for this one. They are 3/3 for working on jam games that I really enjoy. Few games manage to be existentially horrifying to me, as attempts tend to fall flat, but this one really worked.
Thalassic Cleanup
Cool, expansive game. I liked the dialogues that fleshed out the world. They could have used some proof-reading though. Interesting ending, wasn't what I anticipated. I've actually been wanting to see an ending like this for a while, so it was a nice surprise.
