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

Wasn't sure what i was doing apart from trying to get out. creepy environment tho.
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!
Graphics are on point and the people are terrifying. Can't wait to see them again in my nightmares. xD
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.
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!
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
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.
