This is my Shortventure 2018 contest entry. The theme was supposed to be about 'fear' but I screwed up and made it about cuisine and music. Sorry about that.

Wookie gives us a prequel to the prequel, further deepening the lore of his weird creepy world.
I really enjoyed this one, not necessarily for the gameplay but because it was captivating.
It's an escape the room esque game with the goal of opening the fridge in your home so you don't
starve to death. I personally love the dark themes that wookie incorporates into his games. He went
pretty deep into it this time, with a rather shocking sequence near the end that left me a little uncomfortable.

Music choice compliments the atmosphere very well here. (The atmosphere is also very good).
The main thing that set this game back was that it got a bit obnoxious having to run through the same
rooms all the time trying to find where to use an item. I think it would have been cool if the way you use the items were more of a puzzle than "try using it on everything until it works". For some items it was clear what to do, but for the ones that it wasn't I found myself jumping over mom's awfully slow eyeballs a lot.

I find though that this game is definitely more for the experience than for the platforming itself.

A kind of "detective game" where you have an inventory and have to find items and figure out how to use them correctly. I through it was a little bit difficult to figure out what to do sometimes and it became annoying because I have no patience. If there was a way to get a hint when you are stuck it would be nice, but of course that would take a lot of work to implement. ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶s̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶. You should definitely play this. The story and the atmosphere is amazing and very creepy.

Its a little bit fangame crossed with a fair bit of a point-and-click adventure type feel set in the Wookie storyline.

Check it out if you're looking for a little more story in your fangame and definitely a memorable one.

It's fine, although I think it's not really all that compelling, it's mostly very simple and also you repeat a lot of platforming throughout. Plus some of the more violent themes felt a little distasteful to me. It's neat enough although to me, the execution could be a lot better for such a cool concept.

Really wasn't a fan of all the backtracking.
