In a world where jobs are nowhere to be found, you find yourself having to make tough decisions in order to survive. Selling your organs might make you live another day, but how long can you hold out like this?!
This is pretty cool! I did find love the way once you sell both your testicles the error message is "you don't have the balls to do that!" I do find it strange however that it still lets you sell sperm after selling your testicles
Love the art. Fun, little concept. What instantly came up for me, is that the world is very static. Nothing but the player is moving. Maybe some particle effects in the background, easily makable in Unity and a few little Idle animations :) But very nice game, congratz!

I liked the game, it was nice to play, easy to undertand and it has a great creepy atmosphere. It is in fact the best point in my opinion, the ambiance is nicely done, the art is great, and I think you should have accentuate it, by making the environment darker when the players gets ill, or maybe tinted in more green colors when he just gave an organ (RIP testicles), so it would have make the whole game more uncomfortable to play, and I think it would have been well. The music is great too.
Now the bad points :p First, it is too obvious that the outcome is going to be a death. I don't say you should change that, but after checking all the prices, I immediatly guessed I was going to die in about 2 weeks. Maybe raise up the rent each time, do not show all the possible sold organs (why would I sell my lungs when I still can live by seeling my "juice" ?), increase the bar prices, it's something that can happen in real life, so it can in your game too! Also the game lacks feedback in my opinion, it's not clear enough that the player is hungry, that he's getting worse and worse each day, and when I died I was wondering why. I knew I was about to, but I felt pretty good to stay alive, even with a low health, but alive.
And about some details, well first it's strange that I can still sell my sperm without testicles, maybe I'll question myself after that tho haha, and when you switch from a day to another using a black fade, wait for the screen to be completely dark before you change the statistics like the day counter or the hunger bar. And you could also change the player's sprite so it is possible to see when you can sell your hair or no !
Sure there's a lot that can be improved on game jam projects in general. I especially agree on the lack of feedback which is why I added some particles effects to the gauges of the player in last minute.
I would have loved to have multiple sprites for the player being sick, or growing hair but there's only so much you can do in a week-end.
On a final note, everyone knows that pee is stored in the balls and you don't need those to produce semen. So I really don't see your point. Cheers :)
Very interesting game! First, I like the visual style. Very don't starve like. The music is a perfect match. I think you hit the theme in a very interesting way. It's disturbing, but in a good thought provoking way. Well done!

@theitcrow & @dannn thanks for loving the art, it really means a lot to me to read that.
