Fantastic game! I especially like the graphics. The idea itself is very interesting. I was stuck on the map with the house for a bit, because of its symmetry (I was choosing the same door all the time). A hint as to which door the player should choose would be appreciated. Overall, I really like this game. Great job!

If you have a minute, please check my game too. I would really appreciate it :)

Developer

You are right, we lacked time to improve the puzzle with more hints. Thanks for playing it.

I was Expecting a little bit of something at the end for a sense of "closure", i think. in the future maybe you could extend the concept and create more trippier levels as you continue, to justify the dream (in a dream everything is possible). Overall a good concept that can be lead to something in the future :-)

The concept is very nice. I like how you have to move. Gave it a 5 star for everything would appreciate you if you do the same to my game :) it'd be a huge help.

Pretty intuitive to pick up one but could use additional environmental clues.

The graphics and sound ambiance are really good. I didn't understand where I should find the right color for the last puzzle but It was pleasant to find the right path anyway :)

Great inmersive music, solid little maze game, definetly, an enjoyable expirience.

Thanks for your view!

It's one trippy mirror maze of a game!

Wow, beatiful game with great audio. I like the idea and the mecanics (simple click instead of WASD).

Developer

Great work! The game runs so smooth in a browser - I'm impressed. The pacing of the movement and the responsiveness of selecting things was smooth. Great atmosphere and music helped it develop!

Developer

The music is so good! It really adds to the atmosphere. I did just brute force all the puzzles. I'm not sure if that's the idea, or if it was more in-depth. My only complaint is that it takes too long to go from door to door, and I wish I could skip dialogue if I've heard it already. Overall, this is a really amazing game!

Developer

Thanks for playing it.

Nice voice over dude!

I say, good show ol chap! The atmosphere you were able to create was top notch, much like good ol London in the early morning. Ahh, although I did find myself brute forcing my way through, trying every combination doorway, I was able to complete the game. I only wish that I could skip the dialogue when I have heard it before. But overall, good game, and I'd love to see more in the future. Good show!

Developer

Thank you very much, we lacked time to clarify more the puzzle with clues

I was able to escape (albeit by trial and error ahhaa)! I enjoyed the dreamy atmosphere the music and voice created:) I'm curious, are the multiple paths you could take to escape, or is there only one correct order to follow? Overall, good submission, nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing it. There is only one path that leads to the end but unfortunately we didn't have time to improve the puzzle and it feels like that

Oh cool! And you did a lot of work within the week time period, still great :)!

This was really cool. I liked the music and was surprised that you made it on your own. It was awesome! Good job! :)

Interesting game, but I couldnt tell how to make any progress. I also would have liked to control the character myself. Good work!

Developer

Nice work! The graphics are very cool, and I really love the theme. However, I didn't figure out how the puzzle works.

The graphics and the audio were great, I really liked how the world was designed but I have to say that I finished the game only by luck and I did not get to find how the puzzle works. Nonetheless, good game and well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing it.
