Theme interpretation
We took on time-reversal as a mechanic, but the difference is we made the player assert this reversal on his environment to help him solve and navigate the levels. The game is themed to look like a retro, old-school computer, to tie in with the main character's average, salaryman type aesthetic. It symbolises COVID -19 as a deadly virus that will destroy all the people around him, and that he has to get to the end of all the mazes to clear the virus.

I liked it. Simple graphics, yes, but terrible? The puzzles are fun but the time-reverse takes some time to get used to.
I think some form of hitpoints would be nice. The instant reset can get frustrating. I think thouse moving enemies could get toned down maybe. Do they add much to the puzzles?
Terrible graphics, the weird mix of mechanics + theme interpretation asks for an explanation. Could be a good game with remade art assets and less out of place mechanics.
