Quite a clever game, with rather more story than I would have expected from a platform puzzler.

The cover art doesn't do justice to this game. I wasn't expecting this amount of polish. The controls are snappy and the puzzles are very well designed. The concept of the mannequin is fantastic and allows many creative puzzles. Would have been nice to continue dialogue with keyboard though. The story about where greed leads to is a classic and works great in the game. Amazing job!

Ah, the controls, my old nemesis - we meet again.

My biggest struggle with this game were actually the controls. They're very responsive, but the key mapping kept throwing me off. I don't know why, but using WASD for movement and spacebar for jumping never clicks for me. And I really missed a key to progress the dialogue. Other than that, absolutely no complaints.

Such a fun game! Really polished. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into it. The puzzles are fun, the learning curve is nice. It never gets fiendishly difficult, but it's not mind-numbingly boring either. Having the mannequin is a clever mechanic and it's fun to play around with. I love that it's climbable. Graphics look great and the music is fitting. The story may not be something to write home about, but that's exactly what I want from this kind of game. It sets the mood perfectly without overstaying its welcome.
Oh, and I was amused by the enemy you-know-where. :)

Overall, a really well-designed game. Fun!

This is a very nice puzzle platformer that feels great to play. The recording mechanic reminds me of The Talos Principle, but with a couple of differences including the short time limit. Overall great fun and I could see it as a full length game.

I loved this game, but i really struggled with the controls, but that's just my ability or lack there of.  The story is well made and the introduction of the mechanics feels timely.  Congratulation on making such a cool game.

Finally, I had time to test this game and I'd say that I'm pretty impressed. Maybe the story and theme are not really deep or multi-dimensional here but overall gameplay and puzzle design is awesome. Artstyle and story are really consistent with the gameplay and that's what makes a polished and well-designed game.

I think you should've started with rec/time mechanics earlier, for it really is the most fun. Loved the puzzles and design (and the ladders!). Maybe some soft music would create a better mood and add up to fun. I'd recommend cutting the amount of text, 1-2 sentences is quite enough to get what's happening. Overall, very cool game!

Great game! I'm not the best at puzzle games but both the scaling in difficulty and introducing new mechanics were really smooth. I got stuck at one point with the 3 walls (stuck in between 2 walls) but was able to restart using the menu. The controls and time mechanics is solid. I think the only trouble I had was like climbing down. 

I like the overall dark thematic, the music choice was great, and I like the story progression with the previous adventurer.

Very neat puzzles and interesting gameplay. Enemies felt a little unforgiving, but perseverance made it feel good making it through the stages. Audio and SFX work very well. I desperately wanted to use the keyboard to continue text, requiring the mouse click solely for that felt a little cumbersome. Occasionally seemed a little off using the mannequin, buggy isn't the right word for it. Like sometimes the failure/success of recording actions appropriately was hit or miss. The same recorded action that succeeded would fail occasionally. May have found a bit of a bug on the 2nd trial on the way to immortality. Sometimes the 'switch' that was on the spikes would respawn the box instead of flip the switch. Overall the 'mannequin' design was quite neat and it humored me climbing around on it. I enjoyed the immortality ending. Now you get to be here forever floating aimlessly until some poor soul wanders in. Also the enemy killing you at that last note was unforgivingly hilarious. Cool entry!

Solid peace of game. However, I think the theme of the protagonist who starts the game with amnesia is a bit of a cliché. Additionally, I found myself trapped in a puzzle between the walls with no way to proceed - having a reset button would be helpful.

One of my favorite games from the jam so far, great job!

Wow. Solid art theme the colors the setting and characters the animations all fit together so well and made such complete world. that clone mechanic was really something to see, i am so impressed. DM me if you ever need a secondary artist. oh, and i love the death sprite.

This is one of the strongest new game mechanics I've experienced, not even within the Adventure Jam, but in recent memory in general. It instantly spawns ideas in my head about interesting strategies, and the game encourages experimentation without punishing the player for doing so. You've also struck the critical balance of making the puzzles difficult enough to light up the brain cells, without becoming demoralizingly difficult. Bravo. Excellent work.

I also have to say the art style is gorgeous. And kudos for the extra flourish of making the embedded HTML5 version of the game perfectly extend into the itch.io page background. Loved that! The storyline was also very fun, and I enjoyed the ending (I took the 'low road') 😨

I hope you continue with this game further, and flesh out an even bigger version. I would love to see more of the mechanic and world!

I actually recorded my playthrough. If you want to see my impressions as I played, you can see it below (timestamp for your game in the description). Hope that can be useful! 

Holy what a complete polished game. The puzzle is very hard and i loved it! First time experiencing the record ability!

The controls are smooth,  the mechanics are interesting and fun. Good job!

Very nice, and very well thought out!

And I don't wanna repeat what people are saying, but the puzzle mechanic and the narrative are very well done!

I know people have already chimed in about the quality of the puzzle platforming and graphics, but I think you did a good job with the narrative as well. Very fun and engrossing.

wow this was such a polished game! Graphics was clear and precise.  The mechanics felt good, puzzles were interesting and just the right difficulty and twists. Although the level where you jump on top of your own recording could use a bit more introduction perhaps? Reminds me of braid but with innovation. I really liked it!

Amazing game! Controls are so fluid, and loved the mannequin mechanic. This game reminds me a lot to some good old gem games as "Tower of Heaven" or "Deptic1". Is there any way to get a different ending other than dying if going home or transforming into a monster?
