Honestly super underrated !! The art style was super super beautiful especially for a pixel game. The OST was slightly goofy but with all honesty I feel like it really complemented the game a lot loll 

Heya the mac version doesn't work for me. I'll try on windows later!

Hey, I like the audio and the fact that it's goofy and the artstyle, lol. I was narrating the story to another friend and it sounds so ridiculous that I liked it. I didn't get the idea behind how the order was formed (I just randomly guessed it in the first try and got my way out).

I want to know, what's with the * symbol on the boy's face in the start? Is it a way to show censorship?

Also, it was pretty fun. I liked playing through it--it was short and sweet, with 1 worm loredumping things to us. I feel like some words were deliberately more childish because it's from a Child's PoV? If that's the case, I lowkey like that detail.

Spoilers from here:

I do want to know some answers for lorebuilding though. Why would they just naturally choose him, and does the dream-boy vers of MC appear there? I think I died from the goofiness than the horror (like when the boy was interrupting the worm basically telling lore and asking "mother, should we really trust a worm") XD 

I do want to know what's behind the mask, though. A disintegrated face, perhaps? Also, what happens to the father? I do want to hear his side of things when he realises that his son becomes a prophet of some sort because his son witnessed his mother basically vanishing into thin air.

I have also unlocked 3 endings, I'm not sure if that's all or if I'm missing out any.

1) Suffering Prophet (loses mother because she started at the sea too much, with/out the worm doesn't matter)

2) Lazy Prophet (doesn't stare at the sea, doesn't change with/out worm's existence)

3) Family Snack (straight up guessing the wrong answer, with/out the worm)

I thought the worm would have transformed into some person like us and starts fighting off the mantis looking thing. I still liked that fella though, maybe a slight lore expansion on it please lmreo (given it knows so much about the darker side of things). Is there any "true" ending?

This was not what I expected, but honestly? I really enjoyed it. There were several moments that were legitimately unsettling, but this was a charming experience all in all!

Fun creepy lofi horror game.  I really like the pixel art, and especially the animations (YEET)!  Great job!

And the worm was a cute surprise!

How many endings are there?  I believe I got 4 of them, but I'm curious if I missed any:

• "Ugly bug" ending (forgot the name ^^;)
• FOR THE SHADE (wrong clouds, get eaten)
• Lazy prophet ending
• Suffering prophet ending 😢

The retro style of this game was so cool! Everything from the limited colour palettes in the graphics to the sound design and "voice bleeps" creates such a strong, cohesive atmosphere, and I really love myself a game where everything fits together.

I didn't know what to expect from the mixture of horror, mystery and quirkiness, but it works! The silly and mundane parts of the world contrast right against the ominous and creepy parts. The Suffering Prophet ending was unexpectedly heartbreaking. Really well-done!!

Also, the worm friend... I low-key want a plushie of it. XD

Even more enjoyable than the first Fear Me. I don't think I have found all the endings yet but I will definitely try to get them all. I love the worm!

I loved the game. I don't know if I got all of the endings though. 

I really enjoyed the game atmosphere and tone! And that silly animation of the kid tossing the worm back to the ocean was hilarious. Some humor is always appreciated in horror.

Great Game, loved the music, one track in particular but can't recall the exact moment

Great work on the Spooktober jam! 

I love the eerie atmosphere and the lo-fi, retro horror vibes of this game. You've struck a fine balance between normalcy/realism and fantasy/surrealism. The pixelated art and the many animated moments are all so eye-catching and beautifully done. The color palette helps keep the game's overall aesthetic cohesive. I also like the slightly jarring way the narrative transitions from scene to scene. 

I very much enjoyed the tone of the writing, which could swing from playful and quirky to creepy and somber. I should mention that my favorite ending has to be the one centered on the mother. I got four endings (LP, SP, FS, YGB), and I'm so curious to know whether there are more! 

Lastly, I have to give a special shout-out to the music and sound design, which take the entire project to the next level for me. Overall, this game looks and sounds amazing, and I congratulate the developer on this wonderful accomplishment! I can hardly believe something this incredible was made in a month!

Made another video 

This feels like a crazy old school early windows/DOS game. I love that!

Did many runs, mostly got the Lazy Prophet ending out of all of them. Did however get whacked the first time, and get the weird mom one too.

I really like the art, it's sketchy yet well crafted! The music is also nice, and the general vibe and colour pallette really acompany it. The camera movements and alike really help keep it dynamic!

Now the lore? That's the main dish here. It's just, so crazy, so good, it makes you want to keep playing to find out more!

This game is great.
The art, the font, the ui and the story are amazingly done.
Congrats and keep it up!

The best example of low-bit retro-horror mind-efferiy I have seen since 'World of Horror'.

Players are praising the graphics and animation, but I think the sound design and music are what really carries the disturbing essence of the game. 

And speaking of the graphics, I'm curious. What program was used to drawn them, and what precise retro aesthetic was the dev trying to emulate? CGA? Are there any old titles which inspired 'Fear Me: The Silent' ?

Made a video

I just recorded one ending but I can see the game has a lot of replayability with a lot of different outcomes and that's something I can always appreciate on jam games.

Keep up the good work!

Ahh, man, this is so visually stunning! I absolutely love the style of it and all the animation stuff :3 It's a real treat for the eyes :D

I only reached 1 ending so far which I won't mention here like I did in the jam comments in case it counts as spoilers x3

Being such a huge horror fan in general, nothing really scares me these days, but this was definitely very creepy!

Overall, a really neat game that I enjoyed! 

First game from the Jam that I play and i love it so much, I played Absurd! a while ago and I definitely vibe a lot with your style tot. Excellent atmosphere and story-telling :]

Super engaging game! I like how dynamic the visuals are, the scenes are always changing and unique, everything is animated and you never get bored, looks like an interactive comicbook! It was a pleasure to get into the surreal atmosphere!

welcome back in hell

Great story telling! What a nice way to become a snack ahah

this one is spectacular, im gonna record the other fear me in the future maybe next week idk but thanks for making great stories and giving me videos to record
