Graphics are simple but nice and original for this jam

The game feels polished

The answer to some puzzles might be a little too "hard"/"random", but the tips help, and I definitely like the text at the top left for little me that doesn't have any memory

The story is nice and goes well with the game, and even the choice for the graphics (preventing it being "gore")

Would have liked the npcs to say something else than "Don't have time to talk to you" when the quest is to talk to one ; maybe putting random dialogues shared among npcs?

Best game ever wow. The puzzles are incredible, the story is amazing, the art is pretty cool. And the music, mama mia. I'm amazed you did all that in just two weeks. Really well done!

very nice game! Im not good for puzzle games, but this one looks so pretty. Good work!

Wow, it's cool to see so much variation in the puzzles considering this was done in 2 weeks. My favorite puzzle was breaking the ciphered message in the journal by extracting English structure from the text, very fun. I admit I had to use the guide to complete it, so maybe some extra hints in the game would help, especially numbering the lockers and hinting more about passwords, but I'm glad you wrote it up so I could experience the whole thing!

Cool that you did all the assets yourself!

impressive, quite a big game to have made in just 2 weeks.

i wasn't able to complete all of it though

This game is great, it screams that a programmer made it (or a disgruntled IT person). 

Art is awesome and the telegraphing on all the puzzles is all super intuitive to solve quickly/reasonably using deduction (only confusing thing was the term "tally", but i guess it can be deduced; although my paranoid mind probably would think i just miscounted or should be taking sum total. tbh it might just be a me problem). The cipher live-replacement was especially cool to see.

I liked the plot and all the flavour dialogue, it gave the world a lot of life. Time loop stuff usually only has a couple of expected outcomes. It is good that it was comprehensible though (versus all the insane incomprehensible impossible time loop plots)

The music is absolutely incredible, seriously gotta get released as its own track. Absolutely monster synths. 

Congrats on the release

I finished the game! I had to use the walkthrough a few times, in my opinion there's a decent number of clarity issues ingame but it was pretty fun nonetheless.

Positives:

I like the voxel art style, it's pretty cute. The sound and general atmosphere is nice. I really liked the letter puzzles, those were really clever and felt good to complete. The ending is pretty interesting.

Negatives:

I think it's ok to not specify which bathroom to go to, but to do so at the start of the game is a bit jarring. When the game tells you to go to a specific locker, I was never able to figure out which one at first (why is the first locker the last one in the back?) I do like the puzzle with the scale, but it wasn't clear to me that it was actually a drawing of a scale so I had to look at the guide. I know one person says what the default password is but I think it could have been more clear that the librarian is using that password.

Even though it's a puzzle game where you have to figure stuff out, I think it's important to make some things more obvious for the player to be on the right track. I don't mean to rag on you or diminish what you've accomplished, I just think it's important to keep this game design stuff in mind. I also don't play these kinds of games too often so it could also partially be a skill issue.

I'm sorry, I only played up to the bathroom stalls because I didn't know what to do... I also got stuck on the toilet for like a minute before figuring out you have to interact with the toilet paper to get up. The environment and characters seem pretty well designed though. I also like the sound design and music.

It was neat. I like these small puzzle games.

• I gave up at the book counting section because I screwed up the count twice and the walk through section seems to be missing?
• The part where you’re labeling letters should probably have a check off of “correct” letters you’ve found.
• The keypads and locker stalls need number BAD. This is the fifth locker:

That was awesome, eventhough i got stuck for 15 mins on the man's toilet trying to find something, only to discover the female one. I got stuck again on the orange, green puzzle. I think my brain is mush. I would love to play it again, i can't see the walkthrough spoiler for some reason. A very well made game and highly polished with an interesting story. I am very impressed. I'll play again.
