What a strange and mysterious game!
I like the overall presentation, music, and style, it's very groovy!
UI feels extremely unintuitive. I haven't had my coffee, but I was never really sure what to click next, and wasn't sure what was happening most of the time. I restarted the game once because I thought I was softlocked, only to realize I needed to speed up time.
If time is paused, it should not start up again when you enter/exit menus.
Was I actually softlocked at the end here?
