Jam Theme: Aberration
Game Title: Celestial Aberration
Celestial Aberration is a short horror game made for the Acerola Jam 0 with easter eggs, (un)holy creatures and much more to explore!
The story - though concise - is a very deep and thought out alternate reality, where in 2012, on december 12th the Celestial Aberration occurs, replacing most people on earth with a "better counterpart". These creatures - called Celestial Aberrants - are the "perfect lifeform" according to most that remain. Your role in the game is to be 'just another cog in the machine' to sustain them. You (in)voluntarily take part in a ritual called Sacrificium, where you are put into a simulation of when the Celestial Aberration happened. The simulation of course being pitted against you, there should not be a way to survive this game. After succumbing to a Celestial Aberrant in the game, you will be thrown out for them to feed on you.
