A strange game, in a good way. Even though I understood the maintenance aspect of the loop, I wish there were nuances in the loop, more things to play with within the sectors because the environment is rich, the music is good and Emma being dysfunctional has already been introduced. I would love to hear more about the concept of Emma if possible, I confess I don't get the symbolism but I would like to understand.

I understand exactly what you mean. There was a lot more that was intended for this game, however I just unfortunately had less time to work on it than I realized. The weird aspect was super rushed with my limited skills and time but in the future I'd like to flesh it out more and give more substance to the game. I appreciate the feedback! <3

At least for my part, it's just a matter of more time, not skill. Another person even commented here about the personality of the rooms, how the place is telling a story.  I don't know exactly what your plans would be, but I believe it would be a good game in the 25 to 40 minute range.  There is a concept that I really like and I don't really know how it is in English, maybe dont exist; "Three steps from heaven in the devil's lap" This means that your soul can be in one place and your body in another. Some types of personality dissociation present this, where the person sees themselves in third person, has it (consciousness) and the body of the person who is out there doing things, without caring about the thoughts and desires of the conscience. That was my interpretation at first and the fact that Emma is simply at her own pace but the world around her is falling apart, but there is enough distance to the player understand that there is a problem and, perhaps, even want to solve it, like deliberately filling the refrigerator and forcing her to do other activities outside the computer, but we can't, because this is Emma's body and not only does she not want to, she does not even understand the reason for doing it, and the lack of reason brings the conviction of comfort like hoarders who collect boxes of medicine for illnesses they do not have but one day may have. When the virginal figure with blood was introduced, which involves purification and renewal, I became thoughtful about the purpose and very curious about where it was going. Interpretation is always interpretation, it's like the case of the banana stuck to the wall of the museum. If you want, within a context, people will say whatever they want because the environment allows it. I believe that Emma has this charm, the volatility of the person looking and trying to fit the pieces together by themselves and arriving at different points, not out of ambition or symbolic presumption, but because of the ambiguous nature in the game. I can't speak for anyone else obviously, but I allow myself to digress because there was a lot of love and care in what was done here, and if in the future there are sweet fruits of something born like this, I want be at the table to taste its flavor.  Thanks for sharing your game!

Was excited to see an RPG maker game here., the art style is so charming and cute! The music is really pretty, makes me nostalgic for games like Yume Nikki. Really enjoyed the environmental storytelling, I love when you can get the vibes of a character by seeing how they live.

Thank you! I love games that give you details about the character from their surroundings, so I wanted to include it in the game. alientediado did such a good job with the music. Glad you like it.  :)
