So I think I didn't understand because of my really low level of English, I went through the sentences and was able to get out, only to return to the title screen, did I miss anything?
More of an experience than a game as far as I'm concerned, which is no fault of mine, least of all in a Jam!

Thanks for playing it.

Four hours?! Well, considering your own self-imposed time frame, this is pretty impressive!

Really cool (and scary) concept!

I like how the story seems doable for the not-too-distant future. maybe the story concept works well if you develop it further.

Thanks Ruben, it was completed in like, 4 hours, with Friday at work spent daydreaming the possibilities.

I am so confused. Are we in Matrix?

Developer

Yes, and the matrix is embedded in a matrix, which itself is embedded in a matrix!

I didn't understand the game at first glance. Then I watched it again and I also didn't understand. However, I think that if I watch a little more, I will definitely understand and put it among my favorites. :) I think the sentences are striking in it.

Thank you Raj, those are very generous words.

Did not expect an existential horror game in a jam with "friendly" as the theme! It's a welcome surprise though.

Many thanks. It’s how my brain works I suppose.
