Story by Ethan
You’re about to be rich!
You’re inches away from the relic known as Chinera’s Spine, a collar-like necklace made of four large stones. All vaguely animal shaped. Perhaps deities of an ancient religion.
But who cares. You aren’t in it for the history, you're in it for the money.
As you inch closer you carefully check for traps.
Nothing on the floor, the ceiling. Not even the platform is counterweighted. It’s all clear.
Cocky you lunge for the necklace in your excitement. But that movement has awoken something. A rat! A teeny tiny rat.
But boy do you hate rats. With the necklace in your hands you try to escape it but it just won’t leave you alone. It must be your ham and cheese sandwich from lunch earlier that you save some in your pocket for a late day energy boost.
Anyway, it’s now crawling up your leg and into your pocket.
Ouch!
You can feel it biting you as it looks for the sandwich.
Oh no! The necklace.
Crash. It hits the floor. You watch in horror waiting for the crash. There goes your money. But no. The stones instead start to melt. Little creatures sitting in their place.
They’re adorable. But then colors. Colors all around you. You are falling as the little creatures all suddenly fly away. You grip for anything to stop your falling but all you can grab is the rope the necklace was on.
Where are you?
How do you get home?
Guess you’ll have to play the game?
Oh. And the rat in your pocket. He jumped ship with your sandwich before the necklace hit the ground

The art is fantastic! I love the look.
I was a tad confused on the dimensions... (sometimes when I hit 2, 3, or 4, it didn't seem to respond)... so i wasn't clear what to do. But you guys might have the BEST cover image of all the entries. Really stands out.
It's still a good game, but compared to many at this jam, it's a walkover.__.
And you had a huge team and didn't even finish on time, so who are you to talk :laughing:.
Still, you had a fun concept, and with a little more time to tighten and polish it up, I think you would have had something really neat here, so keep at it!
