Unfortunately I suffered the same fate as Aleifericsson. At the end of the hospital cutscene when Trisha mentions 6pm the scene transitions immediately back into the first dream sequence with the silhouette and the game will continue looping through those scenes. It really may be as simple as having accidentally set the wrong scene switch.
With that said, of what I did play it seems you have a really rather unique setting that feeds into this theocratic fascist parallel to modern America, add on top the utter delirium it seems the main character is suffering and a little bit of incomprehensible exploration of the self and I'm hooked. I very much wanted to see Pale Eclipse through because of the potential in what you might do with all of these themes, so I do hope you continue developing it!
Making games is magic. :)

- There is a bug where the game just loops, so it seems like you never even get to reach the gameplay portion of the game as when it loops the only thing you do as a player is choose to go to bed which you are forced to. I can't really judge what is there because due to this loop bug there really is no gameplay, player choice, or agency. It seems like you tried to come up with a different story, there is some good presentation, but without actually getting to the game itself it is a killer. This is the kinda bug you gotta fix, but other than a couple spelling errors what was there was well done for a jam game and you should be proud of it.
