Never

Also, do not go down the ACC/CC rabbit hole
It will be a waste of your time that you will wish you had back and used for LITERALLY anything else (like sleeping or drinking choccy milk and regretting it)

I suppose that's true
I'll see if I can put in some important mechanics
If so I'll submit it, if not I'll post it as a seperate thing and mention it being originally for the Gamejam
October 28, 2025 at 10:03 PM
I'm alright! Some personal stuff going on but I'll manage
Currently working on multiple projects one of which is Gamejam related (might drop out or submit after the deadline tho as I'm not quite happy with it yet and I'm not really interested in winning anyway)

Hello! Hope you're doing better!

That's a fair opinion to have and one I myself agree with!

Maybe I'm just trying to be.. too freedomy for artists? When it comes to themes being shown in their art I don't really care for their reason but I would definitely still find it to be insensitive if these serious topic were just for shock

I have seen Phils livestreams except for the last ending! I do wonder what specifically you're referring to as there's a lot of moments and (from what I recall) all of them were executed well
October 16, 2025 at 1:08 PM
That's a fair critique, ye!
October 16, 2025 at 1:04 PM
Tldr: Phil is allowed to play the game if he wants to and the creator is allowed to include such topics in their game.

Also just to make sure: I just had a lot to say on this topic and don't have any negative feelings towards you! It's just kinda hard to convey emotion in text format qwq

That and:
How far IS too far? What topics are TOO taboo? Does the execusion need to be done in a specific way? Personally I think so but not everyone will agree and each story is different so my recommended way of executing such topics may not work/make the story worse.

Plus... what if the artist has been through such abuse or experienced it through people in their life? What if this game is an attempt for them to work through their struggles? Are we really gonna, essentially, censor them because the topic is "too taboo" or because the execusion sucks?

"It's just extremely insensitive at best and the game's creator's freaky fantasy at worst."

I think that assumption is ignorant. After all, the game doesn't romantizise or excuses it. The community might do that but that's seperate from the game itself.

"Incest is disturbing, but not in a horror way."

I guess that is more subjective. Personally I think Horror can absolutely include other feelings, like disgust, and not just fear, terror, anxiety, dread, etc.

If we're talking about what other people do: I disagree. People should be allowed to create and engage with whatever they like provided it doesn't harm them or other people.

"A horror game can have disturbing topics, but there is such thing as too far."

If we're talking about personal works and media one chooses to consume: I agree! Some topics I myself cannot stomach and don't engage with! And someone saying "I don't want to engage in this" is absolutely valid!

My main points are "just because it has such topics doesn't mean you can dictate what other people should/shouldn't play" and "Artists are allowed to explore differen't topics within their work and considering the genre of the game, it makes perfect sense for something like that to show up"

Fair but so are other topics within the game, like abuse (familial to be specific), cannibalism and murder yet those topics aren't being as strongly critized.
Plus, horror game and unless the creator activily endorses/romantizises/fetishises it, I don't see an issue with such topics being included.

*Correction, there's more chapters but the whole game isn't out yet
October 10, 2025 at 2:28 PM
Not to make fun of the poor soul but... horror games can include taboo topics? How come this is the one that got such a strong reaction to the point of them actually sending an email but other games with other taboo topics don't? /gen
Is it because of the execution? There's only 1 chapter!

The materials look so beautiful! Well done! And as another commenter said, the presentation is very unique and lovely!

You know, when I first saw the theme I audibly screamed "FUCK" because, somehow, I didn't expect that as a potential theme
HOWEVER after thinking over it while doing the "pre production" (I guess is how imma call that), a few ideas are starting to come up! Will write them down and see how it goes!
