Loved the art and atmosphere. The black and white shade used really gives the game an otherworldly feel and the sound of the wind and footsteps really highlights the desolation of the world

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)

I loved the idea, shader you used was really good and kind a mixing up with the weird atmosphere I am playing this at night, slowly I started thinking what if I get stuck in a world like this XD, but overall really you did a great job :D

It's great that you felt immersed in it, means that I did something right :D

Thank you for playing!

I'm glad you said that because I didn't used shaders at all. I basically textures limited to the color palette and used that on the 3D models. You confusing that with a shader means it looks good :D

Thank you for playing!

Nice game, I enjoyed the run, but it's kinda boring you have to walk all the way to get a new dialog unlocked even tho you have the item, but it's quite fitting the loop theme so good work!

Developer

Yeah I can see how it can be boring, my idea was something happen on every loop. Thank you for playing!

The graphical style is cool, and the concept is a pretty neat one. My only real complaints are that the mouse sensitivity was pretty high and the mouse kept leaving the screen as I was playing since the fullscreen button didn't seem to be working for me.

Developer

Thank you for playing!
And that's weird because it's Itch's fullscreen so it should work, maybe try another browse, not sure :(

Graphics are on point and the people are terrifying. Can't wait to see them again in my nightmares. xD

I hope they are harmless xD
Thank you for playing!

Once you notice the eyes, you can never look back.

On a more serious note, the art is absolutely great, and the texture work is impressive! Good job.

Developer

Wow that means a lot, thank you sooooo much. :D

Pretty cool, nice wood textures and saloon music. I did not know what to do with the tea.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! The tea may be relaxing and help someone who wants to sleep ;)

Very creepy - captured the 'backrooms / liminal space' vibes perfectly, and while I agree with other commenters that there could be a bit more direction or quicker movement speed it definitely feels like a game that accomplished what it set out to do. Good work!

Developer

Yeah I was aiming for those vibes and I'm glad you noticed, thank you for playing!

Epic world you created, absolutely loved the colour scheme and style. Movement felt crisp and I enjoyed the interactions. Solid entry and very nice concept. I got goosebumps at one point haha 

Developer

Thank you for playing! :D

I really enjoyed this game, hence the high rating. My first pass through of the saloon I was a little confused but then it really clicked when I looped back around, and got the sheet music. It was very interesting to me and I think the delay of having to walk around again to wait for more information adds anticipation. However on my 4th and 5th pass, it did start to get a little boring. I think this could be potentially improved by highlighting which characters have a new piece of dialog so as to avoid having to talk to every person many times and hearing the same thing. Overall I really loved the game and was very intrigued throughout, especially the locked doors.

Yeah I can see how it can get a little boring. But I'm glad you liked it despite that, thank you so much for playing!
