  • Incredibly cursed and eerie in the best way. The underlying psychological themes also provided the game with an interesting subtext. It's strange and unique and something I certainly think I will revisit after the jam is over to properly process!

Great game, the aesthetic and story were really good!

I loved this! Really great atmosphere, and the tape at the end of the true ending was very Lynchian (which makes sense now that I've read your Itch profile :D) Super impressive given the time limitations.

I really enjoyed the aesthetics of this game and the final cutscene! I think controls were a little buggy, I had some trouble interacting with the final tv in particular and getting it to work. I got lost a couple times and had to look up a playthrough hehe. But overall I had fun playing and if you continued to work on this game after the jam I would love to play!

This was a gripping story. The melancholic music did so much for the atmosphere and you were always on the edge of your seat when the true horror will unveil itself!

That's very interesting game with interesting style but I can't understand what to do (im a bit dumb) so I would watch gameplay video with pleasure. This world needs more insane topdowns like that

UR NOT DUMBBB! i understand some puzzles are a bit confusing haha(it's my bad). I've uploaded a walkthrough video in the game page, feel free to check that out

Loved the aesthetics of this game, kinda dreamcore/weirdcore? It's very unique.

Developer

There are two endings to be experienced! Without the item "battery" you'll get one and with it you'll get another. Just to clear things up since most ppl didn't know this while playing it and they only got to one of the endings (this is just poorly designed im srry). And I can't upload changes during the voting session so I'll just put this here!!

Loved the video. That is 5/5 aestetics right here.
It's hard not to love omori-esque games (i hadn't have enough yet)
Deserves more attention

Oh thank you too! Can't wait to read about your impressions c:

I'm stuck in a dialogue loop after Tara the flesh monster gave me the third tape. This is unbeatable!

Sorry to hear that! That part works just fine on the desktop version, so i guess it's a weird bug with the html5 executable. I've replaced it with a downloadable version and now it should be working. Thx for the feedback :)
