This is without question the best of the past-present puzzle games in this jam. The level design and the presentation are both great. The only thing missing is a way to restart a level if you get softlocked. At least I couldn't find it.

Does your game contain AI-generated content?
No. Hell no.
How does your game fit/incorporate the theme of the game jam?
The game is set in a ruin and has a mechanic that your actions in the past affect the future, quite literally "Remnants of the Past"

That’s incredible! Right now, I feel like many games’ themes revolve around "losing something in the past and finding it now," which feels similar to the previous theme, "Lost and Found." But your game is a perfect interpretation of the theme! Also, because my English isn’t great, long storylines in many games are a big challenge for me. Your game is the most enjoyable one I’ve played so far! It reminds me of OneShot. Maybe I’ll make a similar game in the future!

Left BehindWhat an awesome game <3 Such a creative idea for the theme and the quality and amount of content you've put in is just nuts. Well done!

Airis' RevengeThis is brilliant. Clever use of the theme, fitting audio and visuals, with a very polished presentation work (that ending!). One of my favorites so far.

Branching PathsThis game is so creative that there is a lot of content for a game jam. The ending was also so interesting I didn't expect that at all

Neuro's Forgotten Memoriesone of the best games in the jam that encapsulates the theme, rivaled only by Left Behind. extremely clever and creative with fun mechanics and cool aesthetics. more people should play this!

Neuro's Time Travel ConundrumI've been relatively held back on my ratings so far, didn't think I'd give a 5/5/5/5/5 out like that. Amazing work.
