FAQ (Spoilers)

Q. No sound?
A. Ran out of time.
Q. What did the player do?
A. Nothing. That's the feeling I wanted to invoke "What did I do?".
Q. Ending is just running up to a black screen, what the hell?
A. Sorry about that, ending was cut do to time. (Didn't give any closure, but where meant to make you feel better again)

Cool, I really liked this. Great mood and atmosphere without going over the top or shoving it down your throat.
Some music and some sound effects cut have made this game so much better. But else it is fine.
Nice aesthetics even though bit too sterile, I get the idea but you should have developed a bit further. The game is bit short and there isn't much going on, other than everybody's hating you for some reason.
I can appreciate implicit storytelling, but there were little to no details that indicated what was going on in the story. I was also severely disappointed by the sheer number of invisible walls when a more tightly packed and well organised town would have been much more interesting to look at and around. Despite their simplicity, I do like the graphics, but some more tweaking to their shaders and a bit nicer work on the terrain would have done wonders.
You've chosen good categories to score in.
The theming is excellent, very well delivered.
I didn't know why the first person was rude to me, but it quickly sunk in.
It felt like the initial goal was a little far away, making the world feel a bit sparse. But it makes sense now why you would live far away.
The map is a bit too big, most of the game is spent walking, I think a more tightly packed map would've had more impact.
But the graphics and mood are great. The people around you just push you away, or look away, because you did something.. because you are the monster.
Maybe add some other clues to the immensity of the thing you did (i.e. newspaper clipings) otherwise great mood!
I think the game has a good starting idea, but it needs more depth to the story. This game has much potential for the future
The map may be too big for the current content, the graphic style may be too different between the terrain, the trees, people, and there may be no music, but the atmosphere is set, and makes we want to know more about the story !
I'd play a full version of this game :)
An ok walking simulator with an ok narrative and progression.
The camera feels stiffy and the absence of sound really kills the atmosphere
I like the fact that I can see my own body though.
I love the graphics. I wanted to play, but no mac port. (sad panda)
Circles...circles everywhere...XD
It's fine. Monsters need milk like us, of course.
It's attractive and has a good atmosphere.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
The fact that everyone is pushing you away before and then they're staring you down afterwards makes you think about what you probably did/didn't do.
