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?
Thank you so much for enjoying the game and its story! I did make various decisions about the way the characters talked, I wanted to be fun and lighthearted but with a hint of creepiness and horror here and there!
As for the story progression, there was a lot more I had in mind but due to time constraints with the gamejam I had to cut off a lot of the story, so there is a lot more expanding the lore of the world.
One of my objectives was to make the worm a more reoccurring character, so that is in the plans for the update, I am already planning a bigger more expanded story and there are plans for a sequel.
With the main objective of unifying the stories of the FearMe Verse.
I will give you some clues that I'm thinking of answering in later expansions and games.
-Why do they wear masks?
-Who is the shade?
-Who is behind the calling of the prophets?
-What are the prophets supposed to do?
At the same time there are certain things I enjoy leaving a mystery although I know the answers, I'm thinking of maybe adding secret logs so players can access more lore.
Thank you for your support and hope this answers some of your questions!
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!
I am happy to hear it was not what you expected ahhaha! I think a lot of people thought it was going to be pure horror, but my objective was to go for a tim burton kinda feeling, a bit spooky, a bit unsettling, creepy but fun!
Thank you for giving it a go and for the great commentary!
I am so happy you picked up on the lofi hahaha I love that sort of music, relaxing, chill and a bit spooky, I am so happy you enjoyed the YEET hahaha one of my favorite scenes to make lol!
I really hope to use the worm more in the future!
As for your question you are correct there are four official endings as of now! But in the near future I plan to expand on a lot of this and add some more features!
Thank you again for giving it a try! Any recommendations are also most welcomed!

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:
