This game tells a story about a lone shapeshifter trying to survive. It's controlled by mouse only.
How to play
--------------
Shapeshifting is handled one organ at a time. Organ starts to transform when it is clicked.
When organ is transforming, it does not work and the related bodily functions deteriorate.
Transformation can be stopped any time by clicking and the organ starts working. However, if it is in mid way, the organ only works to a certain degree!
Task is to balance the transformation so that the host doesn't die.
Tools etc. used
-----------------
Game was created using Unity with C#.
Music was composed with LMMS and plugins that came with it.
Graphics were drawn with Paint.net.
I used a free font called Inknut Antiqua that can be downloaded from here: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/inknut-antiqua
Edit: I dropped the embedded link, because URL was broken. Go to itch.io.

When I try to run it: "NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist."
If you have problems with the embedded version, go to the itch.io page or download the binary. I don't know how much itch.io likes hotlinking the embedded game...
What an eery experience. It works, for some reason, and it's challenging. Well done, and an interesting use of the theme.
Very solid design. The ramping difficulty was well done. I was a taken by surprise by the final level, I was so into it. I NEED MORE LEVELS. (Side note, maybe keep the percentage above at all times)
Very clever but very difficult. It took me forever to transform into the snake, and then I lost immediately after (which is apparently intentional).
Apparently it was addictive since I played it like an hour to beat it. :P
I got to the snake. :D It's bit hard to do and needs concentration! nice!
I really enjoyed this game, I just couldn't get the lung across. I'm probably going to go back after the review and figure it out, i can't let this one beat me lol. gj
Woof! fun design, I like "resource management" games, and the creepy twist on it with your game is awesome! Great work, and nice interpretation of the theme!
I was confused for a minute but once I understood what was going on I had a pretty swell time. It was actually pretty challenging, I didn't beat it though because I spent a good 5 minutes trying. I think using the key board would better because sometimes I couldn't click the organ to stop it but maybe thats because I'm using the touch pad right now haha. But the game was really fun!
I didn't success this despite giving it a few tries...but the game is very innovative!
Had to try a couple of times to manage the snake shift, the timing was extremely tight. And a lovely twist at the end :)
Great! Pretty challenging and fun, would make a good tablet game. It would have been nice to have the information from the start on screen at all time, like what each organ does.
This is a very addictive puzzle game! It's a bit annoying that the organs move over each other making it difficult to click. The music added to the narrative and stress while playing. Graphics could have been easily enhanced though. I love it!
Took me a while to figure everything out, but I loved it once I did.
A ver unique concept. It was not clear to me at first, but the order in which you should transfer organs depends on the distance they have to "travel" and how they affect other stats. Well done!
That was a unique take on the theme :)
Pretty fun once I understood how to balance the different transformations. Couldn't figure out how to beat the snake level though, but had fun!
The music was creepy and stressful in a good way :)
Less casual than I thought!
It took me some time to figure where I'm wrong (which is good!) and even then there was more thinking to figure how to succeed (which is even better!).
My only beef with this game is how all organs kinda clump together in the middle, which causes some misclicks.

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.
that's creepy =)
