I liked the creepy undertone of the whole game. Interesting story for sure. Keeps you guessing at what the thing even is and why it's so inclined to give its appendages and organs away. Is this a greater metaphor for the consequences of human cloning!?!
This game was both sad and funny at the same time, I think it has some sort of message behind it... The art was obviously made by a talented programmer as well as the audio I guess... Good job on your entry !
Even though they were simple, I liked the graphics quite a bit. They fit perfectly with the type of story that was being told, and complemented the mood. Short experience, but I enjoyed it.
Haha, that was really interesting, not what I expected. I felt myself losing faith in humanity with every interaction. I like the Sierra style graphics and the happy go lucky music in contrast to the dark narrative.
Wow, that was quite something! I'm not quite sure if I can agree with the message that I took away from this. At least, from my personal experience, helping people has so far been a very positive thing in my life. That's not to say that other experiences are invalid of course! Very interesting take on the theme for sure. Makes you think...
I loved it, front to back. Even the art was pretty solid for someone who claims they're "not an artist."
Only two things: one, I think the game could've benefited from some sound effects (to make the "giving" sequences more disturbing and visceral), and two, multiple endings would've been neat. Like, what happens when our poor little homunculus decides he's had enough of "giving"?
what a sad story, everyone was so selfish... :( it's quite an achievement you made something nice and emotional with the limited resources you had. great job!
Very cool entry, I love to play/make games like this! Made me think back to a lot of old GameMaker games from the early 2000's, I don't know if you drew inspiration from those games but it certainly seems like it. I loved the graphics that you had, I'm very fond of hand-drawn crude graphics like this. My only suggestions would be to take off the GameMaker water mark at the start (it's under global game settings in the windows tab) and maybe cut the music or have more ominous tracks when the player is losing body parts. Overall nice work though, I hope you make more stuff like this in the future!
