Wow this game reminds me of the old flash games I used to play when I was younger! Great job making all this by yourself in a week :) I hope you're able to write more about John and his adventures!
actually I did. https://ar-borno.itch.io/assassination-of-president-charles you can consider it as a prequel of this game i made later for a jam. Hope you like this one also 😊
Cute game. A lot of effort was put into this for the theme and story line. Good job!
Please play and rate my game too!

Very unique game! I enjoyed playing this one!
You did a good work with this entry. I like the way of game with was story centered not gameplay. Story games are always my favorite and it is a great content. Good work.
Really cool implementation of the theme, although i would have liked more rewind element in the game play, but that’s about it. Good job :D Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
It's a really innovative game, I love how you used rewind as a story element instead of a gameplay mechanic. The puzzles are really interesting too but it would've been nice to have puzzle rely less on memorizing things.
Also it looks really great! Good job!
Definitely one of the most unique games, plus it has nice graphics and a nice story. Great job!
Nice graphic and audio. Also like the storylines , well done!
nice game
the dialogues backwards was so nice:)
i would really like to have you rate my game
really unique game. sound design is pretty good. graphics are okay.
overall nice game.
good job!
I like the concept behind the game, but it is way too heavyhanded in my opinion. Also, the screen are a bit too explicit when explaining what and how you have to carry out things, considering that you can just spam E walking around the levels to get things done the right way, without actually the need to remeber the correct sequences nor the risk of losing something.
It surely needs to be polished more, but I really liked the story-driven approach that you had, good job!
Cool story and cutscenes.
Feel free to check out my short and sweet puzzle game with record/rewind mechanics (Backtrack): https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/723990
Nice. But it drives me crazy that sometimes you use e sometimes f and sometimes space.
Chose one of them it isn't that hard!
Dude, you're breaking the enitre atmosphere with the "choice" screen . That's not how you're supposed to break the 4'th wall :/
Really cool idea, and I liked the way you made it!
The game is pretty cute, and I love the mechanics of living your life backwards, its acutally pretty amazing and a good idea. Good job!
I somehow am unable to load the game... 😅 even though i was using the itch app. The game looks interesting from the pictures tho. You should probably fix it. :)
Try using a web browser like chrome or Firefox. It will work for sure. Also there is a downloadable version for Windows, you can check that too.
Interesting take and game design :)
Fun little game :D
Good job!
Great story and cut scenes! I kept running out of time after the funeral scene XD I'll try again later for sure. Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new gamedev skills. Please check out my game when you have free time :D
