These Heavenly Our bodies toys with suspense and foreshadowing via each minute spent scanning unusual angelic statues (and their disturbing contents).
CONTENT WARNING: Cult/Spiritual, Cannibalism.
Due to motion pictures like The Omen and Stigmata, in addition to the spiritual Thriller/Horror genres, it’s not a very obscure factor for me to ask you to summon up the concept of a holy man requested to analyze a current, suspicious scientific discovery. That’s the start line for These Heavenly Our bodies, ToothandClaw’s lowrezjam 2024 entry, which locations you within the position of that holy man as they go to a lab the place they’re investigating three angel statues which were just lately uncovered.
The factor is, there’s one thing very unusual — nearly alien — about these statues, and it’s not the design of them however the contents. They include our bodies – our bodies with traces of unusual biomatter in them. Maybe the type of factor you shouldn’t look into too deeply, but we preserve coming again. You’ll return day after day, serving to with the evaluation, the invention, the revelation, and the conclusion of the investigation of the our bodies and their statues. As you may guess from the content material warning above, it will get a bit messy ultimately. You simply HAD to determine what was within the statues, didn’t you?
What makes all of it stand out isn’t the what or the why, however the how. Lowrezjam challenges builders to create a recreation, or expertise, that has a 64×64 decision. This isn’t essentially the most restrictive jam on the market, particularly on condition that there are loads of low decision or bit-based engines on the market. What’s spectacular is that ToothandClaw have managed to convey an unbelievable environment, and loads of element, by pushing that decision to its restrict, creating one thing eerie even inside this visible limitation.
These Heavenly Our bodies is playable now (without spending a dime) on itch.io.
