The simple repetitive game play really makes the player focus on the story at hand and drives them to make it to the end. Great Work!
Tysm!
Wonderful game. I like that the music shifts between the various scenes. Well done!
Thanks!
Wow I love this game, it's so short but still deliver a lot of story it's very interesting ! Good job !
Tysm!!!
nice pixel art and music , great story , well done.
Thanks for playing!
nice job. The story was strong and the atmosphere worked well. I liked having the two endings and the way the repetitive gameplay loop ties into the main idea. The pixel art and music added a lot.
Tysm!!
I really enjoyed the narrative and story. The 1st ending was a twist! Were the recordings on repeat? But I didn't understand the 2nd ending.
Thanks for playing! Essentially my vision for the story was an ant who was stuck maintaining a planetary colony long after their queen died. To cope with this the ant deludes themselves into thinking their queen was still alive. The dreams represent a sort of mental battle where if you survive enough of them, the ant breaks through and has to face the truth and move on. Otherwise, the ant breaks down into a full delusion.
I barely got this game into a working playable state so I didn't have enough time to refine the story. Thanks for playing though!
Wow thanks for the breakdown! Both endings make sense now.
Very interesting! I really dig the art!
Thanks for playing!!!
Hi, I'm impressed with how much you managed to do - concept, implementation of mutliple systems and art. Wanted to see both endings, so went through twice :)

Thanks for playing, I appreciate it!

Thanks for playing!
I liked the story and gameplay, nice job!
Thank you for playing!
I really liked this story and had fun playing!
Thanks for playing!
I like it, the story was very good, congrats!
Thank you!!
I love this story. And simplicity of day cirle actually make overall idea stronger. Thank you
Thank you for playing!!!
I liked this story and was sucked in. At first I didn't realize he was one of the pilots.... and I then the 'bad' ending was so sad.... I legit said 'WHAT?!' outloud in shock. I think the writing was very good. And I'm glad I found both endings as I didn't know how to do that without answering questions (I'm too used to visual novels lol) Great job!
Tysm!! I appreciate it!
I played through for both endings, but I would have expected the happy ending to come from doing as instructed and vice versa.
Or perhaps the happy ending is also a delusion?There isn't much to the game play but I think this is fine. The important thing is they impart the repetitive nature of the protagonist's isolated life. Of blindly serving a far away ruler for no personal gain and having only memories to instill this sense of obligation.
Yes! Thanks for playing!!!!
Interesting game—and an interesting ending, at least the one I got. It actually made me think a bit, I really didn’t see it coming. I hope the ant can live its life now :D Great project, the storytelling was really well done!
Thank you for playing!!
Great entry. It just all works, the monotony, the feeling of doom...
I thought I'd got won, but I think I got the delusional ending. Which just makes it all the more haunting.
Thank you for playing!
The narrative depth and atmospheric design are impressive, especially for a jam entry. The dual endings added a compelling layer to the experience. Looking forward to seeing how this concept evolves!
Tysm! I appreciate you playing!
As repetitive as the main game loop may be, those tasks being short and the game having an intriguing story kept me playing till the end. Very nice animations in all scenes, great job
Thank you for playing!!!
that was really nicely done, a deep story mixed with intriguing gameplay, I stuck with it to the end!
Tysm! I appreciate you sticking with it!
how could I not? you gave just enough to keep me doing my work so I could watch the queen and do it all again tomorrow! :)
