Quite a unique concept! At first, I was a bit confused about what to do, but once I had overcome the initial hurdle, it became quite enjoyable! 

It'd be nice if all (or most of) interactions, even the wrong ones, would produce some effect on the main character instead of just moving you to the next scene (I played only the first act). It'd feel more like you're affecting the scene with your actions instead of simply searching for the correct one.

Really nice job! :)

Thank you for your comment and feedback! Yeah, in the first act we were experimenting with what we could do. In the second act, you’ll notice your actions happen in real time instead of just guessing the correct spots, and it affect the characters directly.

Great! I'll have to give it another spin. :)

Such an interesting game! I love how unique this is, compared to other games. Mechanics work quite well, and it is fun to play. It is sometimes a bit hard to find what to click next, but overall it is a very great game. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your kind words! You’re right, we could have made the levels a bit easier to figure out. Thank you for your feedback!

Quite interesting game. However, there might be a little issue: after returning to the main menu, it appears that the mouse is disabled. Please consider playing and rating my game, too :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! So the cursor issue is still happening? I thought I had fixed it earlier, but I guess it's still there. And of course, we'll play and rate your game!

Please consider playing and rating my game, too :)

Hello There,
It's a very creative game, folks. It fits the theme perfectly.
Congratulations on the scenarios and animations, putting them all together in four days must have been a real struggle.
The only thing I can point out is that the hints at the top of the screen sometimes end up directing the player down paths that aren't necessarily the solution to the room, which can cause some confusion.

Otherwise, I found it a very interesting game.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words and the feedback! The animations took a lot of time, especially making sure everything synced up correctly. The end-of-level animations were also a big effort on their own. As for the hints, you're right. We intended them to be a secondary clue, with the main focus on looping the rooms and noticing what changes between each sequence. Looking back, the clues definitely could have been clearer.

Submitted(+1)

Like others have said, it's really impressive what you made in 4 days, with unique gameplay and a good narrative, awesome work!

Developer

Thank you for your comment! I'm really happy people noticed it. We worked hard on it!

Submitted(+1)

Really solid concept! The gameplay works very well for buidling up the story. I was relying a bit heavily on the clues first before looking at the other rooms, so maybe a way to view each room without clicking on any objects could be useful

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! We weren’t sure if adding a button to loop through the rooms before deciding what to push would improve the gameplay or not. Looking back, I think you’re right, we probably should have left it in.

Submitted(+1)

Woah! I didn't expect such a complex, intertwined story and mechanics! It was very cool!

At first, I was mostly lost and just tried to interpret the clues, but then I started to pay attention to all the versions of the room - yeah, then I really started moving forward with the game!

Great idea, music and the sounds! Really creative and powerful storytelling! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind comment, so glad you enjoyed it!

Didnt Understand The Loop Mechanic And I Am Not Really A Good Understander So I Didnt Understand The Story So Basically I Couldn't Understand The Whole Mechanic Which Is My Fault Not The Games But The Audio Was Amazing

Developer

Thank you for your comment! The loop mechanic is based on the same room repeating, each time showing a different sequence of the same scene, and of course, it eventually loops back to the first sequence.

Ohhhhh, I Am Not Into Deep Stories So I Just Didnt Understand The Game At All I Now Realize That The Things We Were Doing Was The Video (Yeah I Am Dumb And Yes I Played Again)

It just ended very quickly )`: would love to play more I'm going to follow you for updates! Great job you guys!

I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!

Developer

goooooooood and perfect

Developer

Thank you!

Love the concept, and how the clues guide you on which objects to push. It took me a while in Act 2, but managed to figure it out eventually. Would love to see more what happens after Act 3 as it ends abruptly, but I can well feel the emotion going into each of the scene. 

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the comment! We're happy you managed to finish it . We tried to make it so the loop and the hint give you an idea of the solution, Hope you enjoyed it! . We originally planned to have more acts, but we ran out of time and could only finish up to Act 3.

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting concept, and I love how you can use later rooms to help figure out earlier ones!

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

The endless looping corridors gave me genuine chills—the liminal space vibe is executed flawlessly. Exceptional work on the atmosphere and tension!

Submitted(+1)

wow that was really cool

Submitted(+1)

Looping rooms is so psychological horror! It kind of gives off liminal space vibes because of the feeling of inescapability. Great game overall 10/10! I also made a psychological horror game called "Death By Marriage" if you have the time to check it out. I'd greatly appreciate it! :)
