This was so cool! The music and the changing layout really sucked me into the atmosphere, which I found to be weirdly soothing. The only thing which I found a bit annoying were the doors, which keep pushing you away.

I really loved the music, super trippy

What a deeply cool and unsettling game. The doors and cyclical nature of everything was disconcerting in a good way, think I found everything but not sure. Really liked this one - well done.

Also, “I wish you all the best, good luck and success in everything that comes your way” for all my English speakers out there!

I really loved the aesthetics and the atmosphere of this one, but after playing more than half an hour, I didn't know hot to get to the ending. I found the Mare but I guess there's more to it I just couldn't figure it out. Anyway, amazing game. Definitely one of my favorites of the jam.

Thanks, glad you liked it! There wasn't necessarily an ending scene programmed in or anything, just finding the mare. Definitely something we would've added in with more time.

OK I GOT GOOSEBUMPS from playing this.

"hmm there's a fridge, lets try to see if we can open it.. wait,, a door opened, must be a bug, lets go through it...

WHAT THE HECK its a skeleon man!!"

Insanely good job on the atmosphere setting and the surreal recusive nature of the doors. I was too creeped out by the music and the setting so I didnt finish, but this is a good outcome for a horror game.

Well done!

Developer

It's cool that everyone is appreciating the fridge so much! That idea was all CoolRex. No worries about not finishing, there isn't a "true ending" programmed in or anything - mostly just exploration. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself! Thank you for the kind words!

Loved this! Took me a good 20 minutes to find the true ending. Absolutely loved all the surreal characters and dialogues. The secret fridge room had me spam-clicking all over the other rooms to find more haha - didn't find any though!

Developer

There's two other secrets I haven't seen anyone mention yet, but I won't spoil it here hehe. Thanks!

Submitted

Ahhh noo!! Dang it now I have to go back and find them :) :) 

Submitted

Any cryptic hints for us to find them? :)

Developer

There aren't any other hidden rooms or anything, just details in rooms around the house. They both involve glass ;)

Submitted

I can see something in the bathtub through the bathroom mirror, but that's about it! I tried to find a secret crouch button or something to see if I could get into the mirror but I don't think there is one. I'll have another look around tomorrow :)
