Hi Mara the poll is saying it closes in only 5 and a bit days. Is this right if voting ends on the 7th? (Or is it a timezone thing that’s throwing me out and makes me feel like I’m missing a day?) Would be lovely to have a bit more time to play the ones I haven’t got to yet in time for voting, but otherwise I’ll just have to give it a go!

It is timezones it closes at 7th 12:00 am in Paris Berlin timezone. Poll is made in a way I can’t change it like games were in beta in many cases, I thought a week was enough.

Sorry for the inconvenience

No no all good :slight_smile: I’m way ahead of GMT which is probably throwing me off for the timing.

I’m doing my part.

Was really refreshing how different and cool every entry was. There was one that was almost an old-school CYOA novel, one that was almost entirely narrative with just a few meaningful choices on what flavour of fresh horror would befall the protagonist, one that was breathtakingly customisable, one that was almost a video game in structure, and one that completely defied classification entirely. I liked the creativity of the one that explored the same interaction from both characters’ perspectives, and the one about metaphysical loss of time and self was a trip. Enjoyed all of them. Difficult to pick four to disclude from the vote. Wondering now which one will win.

Coming from you It is a great praise. I am sure the writers would and should feel proud of their work.

It was really fun to work on my entry. It was nice writing a smaller more contained experience than what I’ve done so far.

Been on the forum for years now but I think this is the first halloween Jam that I got to vote on.

If that was mine, I love the way you described it. So dramatic :skull:

@will You had made all guessing who is who in your post. Now seriously I am delighted that people are voting and having fun.

I hope also, that this waiting and interaction helps to learn to cope with reviews and waiting in the future for people who want to publish, and who have never ended a game previously

Awesome. That’s probably the highest I’ve ever scored in a jam.

It was so much fun to be evil for a change.
