A student project that’s free to play, Ginkgo was inspired by East Asian horror and implemented a unique mechanic of sewing together pieces of the environment in order to progress through its surreal surroundings. It also included a couple of tense chase sequences with a monster. Story-wise, it was somewhat confusing, but at least it tried to form a narrative.
Visually it looked good, but it didn’t exactly play well a lot of the time as bugs were present, especially with its main gimmick. Nevertheless, it was decent for a 20-30 minute experience. Described as a demo, it’s unknown if it’s a part of a larger project.

Promising student project with a great Japanese horror aesthetic and an interesting needle & stitches central mechanic. Extremely short, clocking in at around 15-20 minutes, meaning there isn't nearly enough of it, but what is there leaves you wanting more.
