Amazing mood. The pixel art and animation were also incredible. I couldn't figure out how to not get killed by the tentacle that grew out of me, so that's as far as I could get!

Good job to the three of you! I could see elements that each of you brought to the game.

Also have to love the Frank/Stein elements in the game as well. ;P

Cool scenarios, but the main character seems to be limping a bit.

This game felt like the movie Prometheus. The environment art is fabulous. The black throbbing heart was particularly unnerving and set the mood well. So did the audio. Great game design, I loved how the character slowly mutated. The scorpion arm was clever and humorous.
