I am not that fan to this game.But hey your game was a bit different from all of them.So good job.(In a positive way)
Really cool game! The story was a bit confusing for me but not bad.
Very cool idea. Not where I was expecting it to go but the title makes sense now!
That ending tripped me out :O
Thant was a funky experience. Thank you for that!
Really cool idea! For your first jam I think this is amazing! was really interesting to read how the different interactions were perceived in each dimension
Interesting concept, pretty original! Loved the narrative, nice done!
To be fr—honest, seeing your game in the jam '22 playlist made me feel less embarrassed about joining this one armed with only mostly text game knowledge (...for now).
Thanks for playing, and for your game!
Games based on text are worth it! :D
Really unique concept and just perfect for the jam theme. That ending really tops it all off perfectly too!
Wtf did I just play? :D I like the talking between these two in this parallel form and the interactive sounds produces with the choices. Last scene had me.
But nothing doesn't make sense to me in this game :D
Great concept, well executed. Very stylish. Short and satisfying. I like that you begin to understand the concept as you go. Great work, and thanks for sharing!
Reading both the pages at once was a bit jarring to start with, but after a few seconds I adjusted to it. The story gave me a chuckle honestly, very well made. I would be interested to see more games from you.
Ugh, this is what I aspire to make. Disgustingly well done. And super polished, especially for a jam game. The vibe is amazing; the art and music work so well that I can't believe it all wasn't made specifically for this game, and the way the writing weaves together each side amazingly, while still capturing the different perspectives in the different dimensions and really selling how the "misunderstanding" comes to be. Just wow.
Don't think I've got a negative to be honest. Since I always try to give something folks could improve, I might just echo that being presented with the passages next to each other is a bit disorienting (and maybe intimidating (?) with the amount of text, if that makes any sense), at least in the start of the game.
But really, that's nitpicking. I want to become this game. I freaking love it.
(Also just noticed this is your first jam. Please keep making stuff. I want more.)
Thanks for your comment! Noted for next time/jam~
Enjoyed my experience! Please if you have time let us know what do you think of our game!

always a fan of interactive stories! it was a little confusing at first trying to read both dimensions at once but I got the hang of it and understood that they were both interacting with each other whoops! funny ending too
This was a little confusing but also very interesting, the ending was very unexpected. Cool concept.
I did not expect that!!!
What a cool idea to tell both stories side by side. simple and elegant and a great ending. max points on theme without a doubt.
I have a strong feeling that this will be my favourite game of this jam. I saw it yesterday during the GameDev.tv stream when they were scrolling through submissions and I immediately wanted to play it. I just didn't find time until today.
It's a brilliant story and without spoiling anything, I absolutely LOVE the mechanics you used to progress the narrative. A masterpiece from start to finish. It was such an interesting experience and I played a few times to see how my choices affected the story.
Honestly couldn't think of much dialogue branch effects within the time, but I'm glad you still enjoyed it. Thanks for playing!
That's okay! For a short experience like this, the player choices don't need to impact the game in a major way. It was just really fun and interesting to read about how both characters described and thought of the different objects in their own dimensions.
