Just make the game a half hour long I said.
I’m not doing a repeat of last game jam, I said.
I’ll go to sleep before the sun rises, I said.
Foolish, Foolish was I.
Anyway, welcome to another Mythical Chikin Fustercluck. Is it bad, yes. Is it playable, possibly. Spelling errors? Guaran-damn-teed.
But it exists!
All jokes and factual self-criticism aside, this is my entry for this year’s ‘Lo-Cal’ Gain Jam, and my third time participating in one of these things! The theme this year was push the limits, and boy… I think I pushed my own… Maybe I’ll get some sleep Sunday…
This game is made using RPGMakerMZ and is stuffing focused, possibly vore-lite or rather vore-adjacent (someone more knowledgeable than me please confirm) with some moderate weight gain of the feminine variety. As far as adhering to the theme, I think it can pretty easily be justified to fit. But for me, I wanted to do something a touch different.
I draw a lot of inspiration from music, I’ve made several characters that were based off songs I love or albums I can’t stop listening to. So I asked myself, could I push that to the limit? And how would it work…
Well, the answer is base an entire game on a song! In case you are curious, the song I chose to base this game on is a song called “The Weight” by The Band, although most folk might recognize it by its alternate title “Take a Load Off.” Specifically the version I chose was from the album “The Last Waltz” where the Band and the Staple Singers collaborate to make an unmatched rendition of the song… I’ve been listening to this album nonstop the entire time I’ve worked on this game, and I’m still not sick of it.
Here’s a YouTube link to the song, try listening to it while you play. It definitely beats the default RPGMaker music…

So how’d it turn out? I dunno, I gave it a rough bug test and patched everything I found with the last of my duct tape. And I’m too tired to give any amount of objective or subjective assessment other than its only a little less crappy than I am as a flightless bird. I still got a day to iron out any bugs and do a quick art piece for an endgame splashcard (it will be bad). Might be slightly less than 2 hours of content here, based on my bug test saves.
I don’t want to get too much into the overall story, because I figure this game is best enjoyed blind. So long story short, Enjoy, or don’t. But whatever critiques ya have I greatly appreciate. It gives me a general direction for improvement, and dear lord do I need it.
Also bugs, please lemme know if there are bugs.

Screenshots from the intro because I forgot there were a bunch of viruses going around and you can never be too safe.
