How does you game fit the theme?
Grief reflects the theme of "you're not alone" by personifying the stages of grief as allies that accompany you through grief, on your journey to find acceptance.

Very interesting how the concept of loss and grief became the mechanics of the game. As a game designer, it was very cool seeing how every stage had a power that made sense for the story and for the mechanic. Good job!
Good game, graphics, sound, theme. Small problems with the collision (fall through the ground) Over all,very good for a game made in a week.
The concept was cool and I like the new fresh take on magic and potions through new spell names. My first playthrough I accidently went outside the map and I wasnt trying to I was looking behind me and walked right off. There is also the jerkiness and super sensitive mouse that made it difficult to make precision attacks. Thank you for sharing this.
Please try my submission below.
Damn, really interesting concept! Even though assets are used, the graphics look great! But it was a bit unclear of where i had to go, and there isnt any feedback when you hit enemies. But for a jam game made in a week, stellar job! :)
I like the concept, each soul has different skills to protect the player. Awesome!:D
Nice game! Enjoyed it! It was a bit dissapointing though how the enemies just dissappeared... Good Job!
I loved the interpretation of the theme in the context and gameplay. Overall, fantastic game that was interesting, creative and fun with really nice graphics and audio. I would love to see this game expanded upon in the future.
The music was great, really gave a good sense of atmosphere from the start. Gameplay was fine, first combat was fun. Second combat felt a little off. Too many enemies, wasn't too clear where safe areas to move were. Really liked the different abilities though. First thing I did was fall into the abyss through gaps in the map :D.
Interesting concept. I liked how you incorporated the five stages into fitting gameplay mechanics!
Really cool interpretation of the jam theme and unique way to handle some serious themes! -Hunter
nice game, i like the multiple spells and how they reflect on the 5 stages of grief, ngl i did laugh when i died but my character was just sliding face down on the ground for a few seconds. fun game though.
Would appreciate it if you checked mine out but no pressure.
Inspired by dark soulds? xD
good job on the environment and optimizations.
I really like this one honestly! It's short and sweet, super creative and unique, and not buggy at all! Well done!
I lost but I love it! Great story and atmosphere.
Oh wow. This game gave me chills. This is beautiful... I literally am at a loss for words. This game definitely has major potential. Beautiful game.
this game was amazing granted there was a few bugs but other than that loved the concept
This was a great game! I had fun and I think it deffinately has some potential.
Really innovative concept for a game! I really like how you tied the stages of grief to different abilities. :) Nice job!
Enjoyed the game! Check mine out!
