What do you like about your game?
I've always wanted to make more story driven games and I'm really happy that I'm getting closer to that with this game.

This was a really cool little experience; really unsettling like what others have said. The way the music got more jarring as each loop occurred was really offputting in a good way; it gave me a little bit of a jump the first time the guy came back.
I can tell this little experience is close to your heart after reading some of the things you’ve said, and I think I can relate to the story you’re trying to tell. I think you told it really well too; good job.
Thanks a bunch! The music being louder when he came back was originally an accident! but when I found it I really liked it so I kept it in. (Still glad ya noticed tho). I'm really glad you related with the story too!
I enjoyed this game. But it also makes me sad, in a way.
The reason being, it reminds me of some specific interactions I had with friends who have since passed from Alzheimer's disease.
It's inevitable, but there's nothing that can prepare you for that moment where you come to realize that they're either beginning to forget who you are, or they've already completely forgotten you.
It's a very, very unsettling feeling.
Hello Hey_Tack. There were a couple lines of dialogue that were based off of things elderly people I was close with said. It's a bit of a sad game for me as well, but I'm glad you liked it.
I love the feel and the general vibe
engaging story, you do a great job with the abstraction. I think it's heavily aided by the visuals which I think are very evocative and you did a great job on.
Not sure about the loop and the conclusive nature of the story.
Lynch fan per chance? anyways congrats on the release
Tbh I've never heard of him until now. But his stuff looks real interesting so thanks!
I came playing this 20/10
Very interesting story
Seems like a good guy. Gave me discounts on snacks.
I did the Sweet snacks playthorugh
I liked the existing story part of your game. It seems like a great foundation to build upon.
I was a bit confused by the continuous looping.
