How does the game fit the theme?
The game explores “Strange Places” within a single room.
By shifting time, orientation, and landscape, one familiar space becomes many impossible ones.

This is such a great puzzle! I really had to slowly come to understand it but that made it so much more rewarding when I did get it :) Great game 10/10

Developer

Thank you for playing! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I wish I’d had more time to polish it, but it makes me happy to hear you found it rewarding!

I spent over 20 mins playing the game and reached a state that there were these signs on the doors " >< " and a cube,

then I couldn't figure out what to do, the only problem was the lack of information and tutorial but the game and concept were great and I enjoyed it :D

Developer

Thank you for playing! I’m really glad you enjoyed the concept!

Sorry about the lack of guidance. If you got stuck in the city setting, the “><” sign was meant to represent arrows (“-><-”). In some of the other locations, the Sun or Compass door might not receive light, which means the hint won’t appear. If you’re unsure what to do next, try going through either the Sun or the Compass door again.

Thanks again for playing!

I did understand the concept, but however I match the exact state on the screen but still can't go throught that locked door, I also rotated the house just in hopes that it'll get accepted

Maybe the game is bugged? anyways cool concept

Thank you for playing, and I’m really glad you liked the concept!

The game isn’t bugged, but I understand it can be unclear. Due to the jam time limit, I wasn’t able to communicate the rules as clearly as I wanted.
When the room is in the correct state, a visible mark appears on the door — that’s how you can tell it’s ready to go through. If you don’t see that sign, something in the configuration is still slightly off.

Thanks again for giving it a try!

i din't quite understand what needs to be done

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The goal is to change the room’s state using the Sun and Compass doors, then exit through the Banner door when everything is set correctly.
Following the arrows in the room might help clarify how it works.

I appreciate the feedback!
