Born To Rot

“When you carve a pumpkin, you give it a piece of your soul. It’s true. One sixteenth to be exact. It’s the same as how your grandmother puts a bit of herself into her cookies. You can sense it when you complete the jack-o-lantern’s eyes. That chill, is because through those pumpkin’s eyes, you are looking back at you.” -'Gene', Joe Pera Talks With You s01e03

Born To Rot is a game about carving a jack o' lantern and what it means to create life. Gather your friends to create a lil guy you can call your own, and wrestle with the inevitability that your special fella will soon begin to fade away before your eyes. Perfect for fall funerals, October contemplations, autumnal wakes, and similar events that make you feel like crawling under a rock.

This game was made for The Sacrifice Jam game jam, a Halloween game jam of 13 days with the theme of creating games that always end in death.

This game was heavily inspired by the adult swim original show Joe Pera Talks With You.
