How does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme because we have a time loop mechanic where every end is a new beginning of the loop: Every new loop you start again with more knowledge.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code is from scratch. We used only a couple modified shaders and textures we found as per commercial asset packs. All else is CC0.

You all got a lot done in this time, impressive! Was fun just wondering around and exploring and talking to all the people. Love how I walked into the beach! Thanks for posting the walkthrough it helped. Great game!
Yeah we debated posting a walkthrough, but are ultimately glad we did. There were some features that we wanted to tidy up and hone in on that would have given the player more direction in game. (but you know, game jam timeline.. and the beach..)
Thanks for playing and glad you had a good time exploring!
Interesting game... I love how you implemented the loop to the story... Good job, enjoyed it!
Really glad you enjoyed it! We thought the story loop was a good idea; glad it turned out well
Idk if it's because I was playing in the browser but non of the text was showing up so I couldn't understand what the people were saying. Nevertheless, I loved the atmosphere you created and the attention to detail is amazing, So much work seems to have gone into this and it's incredible looking for only a week-long Jam. This is by far the best-looking game I've seen so far and I enjoyed roaming around even if I was clueless about what I'm supposed to be doing this whole time. You did an amazing job and I give this game a perfect score.
Hey - sorry about that bug! The Web version does indeed have that bug, specifically when you switch to a different resolution (fullscreen/embedded size). The download version does not have the same bug.
Thanks for the giving the game a shot! We're glad you enjoyed it! We definitely had a great time making it!
Massive work behind it with solid gameplay, keep it up, and good job!
Thanks so much for playing it! We put a lot of effort into it and are proud of the results.
Very cool one. Realy enjoyed figuring out how to solve this.
Was wondering if i missed any hidden easter egg? The dude talking about his spider seemed odd, was there more to it?
Lol - glad you enjoyed. Most of the easter eggs could have been expanded on, but unfortunately (to my knowledge at least) there is no tarantula wandering around. Maybe he should have been in the vents or something. I advocated for rats in the vents, but it didn't make the final cut.
Anyways thanks for playing!
It is a really really good game! :)
Thanks! We had a great time making it!
Easily the best game I've played / rated so far for this jam! As a huge Outer Wilds aficionado, this game was just a blast to go through! Love the sense of humor, the polish in the details, the gameplay mechanics, the graphics / animations. Perfect score!
I’m glad you liked it. It was a bit scary using Outer Wilds as an inspiration because the game is so acclaimed and well-put-together. It’s just hard to make something like that for a Game Jam. That said, I’m glad we made something that fans of Outer Wilds can enjoy. Seems like a sign that we did something right. Thank you so much for the positive feedback.
Just......wow. This game screams POLISHED. You've not only taken the time to create an interesting and engaging title, but you've managed to incorporate your amazing sense of humor in a few different ways. Every little detail felt meaningful to the composition of the game, and there was something new to be discovered everywhere I looked. I especially loved the UIAFGF poster meme that I found in a few places, and the menus at the the borger and tacko shops. I had a huge smile on my face as I came across all those little easter eggs everywhere. Stellar job!
My one tiny critique is that I would have loved to hear some music playing while I walked around the facility. Maybe like the most generic elevator-style music playing from a few speakers throughout the place would fit the bill? This wasn't at all crucial to making this a 5-star submission for Brackeys though.
You did an incredible job, and hope to see more of your works in the future!
Thank you so much. It’s incredible to hear that people are enjoying it so far. I’m glad you enjoyed our sense of humor because we really just can’t help ourselves when we think of some easter egg that needs to go in.
And totally agree about having music would have been awesome. We actually had 2 musicians on the team, but the team just had so much work to do that neither of them got the chance to write any music.
Again, thank you so much and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I absolutely understand the struggle of time! You all managed it in a way that you created a very Steam-worthy title in that time period, which is super impressive. (It was giving high-key Stanley Parable vibes 😂). I can’t wait to play more of your guys’ games!!!
Best narrative game I've played so far in this jam.
Everything is there:
the atmosphere (amplified by the evolving sound, the dialogues and its progress in the scenario/company)
the learning (you gather information and you want to know more. Moreover, I was often surprised)
The level design : you are extremely well guided but not too much to give a certain freedom.
the details : omg, did you sleep during this jam? huge work.
Very good narrative direction, the game works and very great game for a jam with so little time.
congratulations. it's a 5.
Hey thanks for taking the time to come over to our game and play! We definitely spent a lot of time with this game and had a good time making it! There are quite a few things we wanted to add to it, but you know.. timed game jams lol. TBH the game idea is a little wild, but that's the fun of it!
Thanks again!
Very cool idea.
It was very fun to play and solve the riddles.
I would have liked to play it in full screen, but when the screen resolution is changed, no text is displayed.
Otherwise a well made game.
Hey there! Thanks so much for reviewing our game! We had a blast making it.
Thanks for pointing out that bug! Yeah, unfortunately the web version has some issues with rendering some UI elements. You can still play it on full screen if you use the downloadable build version.
i dont think the game fits the theme but i can rate that so good because i dont get what to do in this game i just ran across the map and talked to people and dindnt knew what to do but otherwise the game has good graphics and is a bit funny
Thanks for playing our game! We processed the theme as a Time Loop, where each time you go through a loop you learn more knowledge of the world, like Outer Wilds. As such, you know more in the beginning because you had to experience the end. And yes, we wanted to create a funny world for people to explore in as well. Glad you enjoyed it!
