Made for https://itch.io/jam/acerola-jam-0. Everything, aside from my splash icon and some free assets, was made within the two week jam period, up to and including 40 minutes before the original deadline

The development went a bit haywire towards the end so it's a little rough around the edges (please forgive the inevitable bugs and definite jank)  and I had to compromise a lot of my original vision (needing to figure out the alien social norms and not draw stress-inducing attention, more elaborate set pieces etc.) just to get *something* finished. I hope you think what I have is neat

The systems aren't really there for simulating the alien social norms (and I disabled the stress system because I didn't have time to test and balance it so it wouldn't instantly give you heart attacks at the slightest violation), but try to play along nonetheless!
