How does the game fit the theme?
You are in the Catacombs of Paris. As you venture into this maze, things start to get weird. You will notice you seem to be going around in circles and time is running out. What could go wrong?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

love the atmosphere, really sells the tension!!!
Nice idea! Love how simple and yet entertaining it is
Great atmosphere, love the audios and visuals!
Cool game. really liked that art style. didn't quite make it to the end because of skill issue
I made it to a pathway with only one option (door) and failed lol. Did play again and made the same mistake xD
My goldfish like memory doesn't allow me to play with it...
If you turn around in the first room, you will definitely see a bunch of passages LOL.
A memory game I see. Had to note down my moves and eventually got the exit. Some scenes were identical which made it harder. Maybe add some kind of landmark things so players remember routes they took.
Its a memory game and honestly I have a memory of a goldfish.
Failed once, simple but fun. The music really helps the intensity.
Fun game! I like the doomish artsyle!
That was a great game that really challenged my memory! Was a bit stressful watching the timer ticking down and resetting back to the start but that's what makes it great! The music also added to the overall atmosphere making it a fun experience!
I haven't managed to finish yet, but it's a really nice point click. Apart from the writing on the walls, it's hard to find your way around. Maybe I've missed it, but I think it would have been cool to have some clues to help you move on. Well done!
cool concept, i dont find the exit T-T
Pretty stress inducing game! I think it could've used more polish in visuals and animation, and would be more interesting if the pathways had more of a hint. (Maybe they did? I kind of just brute forced most of it..) Overall a pretty unique game, never played something like it before.
Nice game!
Felt a bit confusing due to my lack of skill in such games, but still a lovely concept :)
lovely concept
Fun game! Took me a while, but finally got to the end (and felt compelled to!). I do really like how the music builds to add a sense of tension/pressure. I also think this was a really nice interpretation of the theme.
This is a cool entry and a great way to practise memory skills - I really like how the music is timed to end at the same time as the game. Nice job!
Thank you for your review! Glad to hear this got your memory muscles flowing, and that you enjoyed how we timed the music.
