[POST-JAM EDIT: There has been a post-Jam version uploaded since then and this was hidden, but this still links to the original, accessible with the code *"SILK"*.]
A 10-minute epic about a bug trying to save its game.
WASD to move, jump to interact - two buttons added later in the story. Read the text!
Play as Silkworm, an ambitious bug trying to stop the AI that they're a part of that some programmers ignorantly tried to use to help in development... Little did they know of the havoc that that AI would wreak upon their RPG!!
[EDIT: I know that this game was a bit hard. As my first Jam entry (and my first story-driven experience) ever, I was a bit overwhelmed. As such, after having fairly voted with the original version in mind, please look forward to a "hotfix" that'll be linked to on the itch.io page somewhere down the line. That version will keep the spirit and limitations of the Jam in place while being more in-line with my original intentions and being more accessible. I don't want to mess the voting system, so please only play the hotfix after having voted on what I actually managed to make in that time.]
