Last submission for the Neo-Twiny Jam. I FINALLY GOT TO USE DECKER—CREATING THIS GAVE ME SUCH A HEADACHE BUT I WANT TO THANK INTERNET-JANITOR FOR BEING THE MOST AMAZING AND HELPFUL HUMAN BEING IN THE WORLD AND ANSWERING MY FOOLISH QUESTIONS! Glad to be more acquainted with the tool, but my future Decker projects will be far simpler endeavours than this one :')

Ohh the wiggly art looks so good! This is awesome, I just had to restart because I wanted to see what the other ending was :) I love a good mystery!

Evocative and effective. Decker is such a cool tool. This reminds me of mid 2000s flash games, down to the wiggly paints!

Loved this! What a great use of Decker. The wigglypaint images are so well done, and I loved the descriptions of what was inside the room. I tried both endings; both were good but I LOVED the second one!

Oh, this is cool as heck! I took a look in the credits and I thought I recognised that sound effect haha! The art looks great and it feels really evocative. Nice work!

much appreciated! and thank you for making the module~

Haha I was actually looking through the code trying to work out if you actually used the module or just the sound effect - it looks like even though the module is included you didn't use it as such in the end? Regardless I'm glad it was helpful :)

This was SO FREAKING COOL!

Well worth playing again to see both endings! 

A very cool experience.

A tiny point-and-click! Very cool, and I did not see the twist coming... I like how we don't get a full explanation of what's going on, just enough to leave me wondering and making my own guesses. and I love the detail of the moon tattoos!

thank you! i admit even i'm not fully certain of the truth of the situation XD

This is really slick and well-executed. I'm glad I was able to help you realize your vision here!
