Hi! Thank you for participating in The Deeper Meaning Jam! I am the host. I have a few questions... did you make this during the Jam? Are you aware that you aren't supposed to use any AI? Does it have A deeper Meaning? And how did you manage to make such a great game? Honestly, I can let the AI go. But did you make the whole of the game in the submission period? I need the confirmation. I haven't finished the game yet, but so far, it's good. Thank you and please get back to me.

Hey, thanks for the comment. I'm gonna be honest, I have worked on this game for 2 weeks and just finished it today. I am making this for another game jam but I just read that they don't allow generative ai so I'd be disqualified anyway. So, I submitted this a few more game jams where the theme matches somewhat just to get some more feedback.

I don't feel like removing the generative ai voices because I started with the idea that the game would have voice acting to make it more immersive.


Edit: as for the deeper meaning, I was going for the angle that all evil things are also made by God. You can find more about that in the game after beating the boss of floor 3. The overall theme of the game is obviously noir + lovecraftian.

I actually don't think you needed AI for the voice parts, the writing and art were great on their own to convey the tone and voice of the NPCs and PC. I really liked the combat, especially the timing windows after the enemy has attacked you to attack back. Health bars would be cool to give an idea of how close me or the enemy are to death.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I personally think that voice acting adds a lot of immersion to the game, so that's why I went with that.

As for the health, you can see the boss's health as a red bar at the top and the player's health is displayed at the bottom left. Maybe you weren't playing it on full screen?

Edit: The game is finished now
