Submission to GMTK Game Jam 2026 

In this short horror game, you’re playing as a surgeon’s assistant.

TIME IS AGAINST YOU.

In this world full of puppets, everyone is very fragile and wears out over time, so all citizens need to get repaired regularly, including you.
Unfortunately, you can’t fix your body by yourself, and you don’t have enough money to make it done right away. You decide to play as a surgeon’s assistant at day, and a black market body parts supplier at night.
As you try to collect body parts to sell, you must keep yourself and your patients from dying all the while hiding your loot from the surgeon.

How much of a good performance can you give under the stress of time?

TUTORIAL

Use WASD keys to move, left-click to interact with items, click E to release items, scroll on the mouse to cut body parts. 

Interact with the trap door, fridge system, and the binder.

Gameplay involves fulfilling the doctor’s requests (bringing him tools and body parts) and chopping body parts for the black market and the doctor. The trap door opens the black market screen and takes body parts for the black market task. Make sure the body parts don’t decay too quickly! Use the fridge to slow down the decaying process and count them to the black market task.

Every second counts, time is ticking!
