Our game jam project is out \o/ This has been keeping me busy for a while.
A Game Boy survival game where you choose what you'll do each day as you try to survive a lasting darkness full of monsters.

@silverweed Thank you!
H0lyhandgrenade, who's responsible for most of the design, was inspired in part by Gods Will Be Watching :D Good catch!
@silverweed Oh, and I saw your review!
We had trouble informing the player in-game how the tasks worked, with how little space is available. In-game tutorials just didn't feel good. In typical Game Boy fashion, we put it in the manual (the itch.io page).
The monsters are indeed meant to be something you get a feel for as you play, possibly over multiple runs. The game never gives you perfect information to base decisions on in combat or out, it's all gut feeling, accumulated experience.
