Interesting concept! I didn't realize it was a memory esque game at first until I experimented a bit. I liked the symbols within the books. I really like the setting, and I liked how the music rewinds when you hit restart. Its a bit obtuse if you don't read the description, but I still think its a cool game!

The concept of the game reminds me to the JK Rowling web page. which make sense since the aesthetics seems inspired in harry potter. I tried to understand the game though it was hard since it is not user friendly, the following things could be improved:
- game window is too small for the amount of little pieces of UI that are interactable and the texts being displayed, cannot resize to fullscreen neither
- I am not sure why there are two help buttons with different texts that overlaps each other when clicked
- the interactable objects has a very tiny yellow indicator that is hard to notice.
- the colors and transparency makes difficult to read most of the texts and leaderboard
- music and art are nice, generated by AI both though.

Time Loop MadnessI think you could improve in the gameplay/tutorial part, but nice job at the art and ui and for finishing :)

No Escape from DarkMade a video tutorial, which I concede is a tacit admission of game-design failure on my part:
