THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SCRAPING THE DATA!!! THIS MAKES US SO PROUD!!

Thank you very much! We'll try our best :)

It's hard to put into words how great it feels to read your words, thank you very much for phrasing that and sending us a comment and feedback! :) It means more than you would know!

We do plan to release a patch after the jam to fix and add a couple of things, hopefully subtitles, too.

Thank you very much! :)

Thank you for the feedback! :) And you pretty much saw the whole game once you completed the loop, we only had time for one, really, despite having plans to add more variation to each run. About your points:

• Haha it was a big eye-opener for us as well, it made a huge difference in the aesthetic of the game :D
• Very true - albeit the voice lines were intentionally chopped up, sometimes leaving vital information out on purpose, subtitles would have been nice and hopefully post voting period we'll find a way to include them
• Thank you and I'm glad someone noticed the link to System Shock as well, even though I did not outright think of that when recording and editing them :D my subconsciousness had to be hard at work, though, as I love both the original and the 2023 remake to death
• Hahahah, yeah xdd
• And am glad to read people's reactions as that small bit was amongst the last things we added and I'm glad we did haha

Thank you again for the kind words and the feedback! :)

Those are some big words - thank you so so much, it means a lot! :)

Hahahah thank you! :D

Thank you very much! :)

I personally dislike jumpscares a lot, they take away from horror in a big way the way I see it, especially in mainstream horror. Jumpscares should be a byproduct of an already oppressive and immersive environment, rather than the cheap overused go-to-tool that they usually are sadly. If tension works well, the player can get scared by even the sound of a twig - then you don't need to use jumpscares at all haha

Thank you very much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed our work!

Thank you for your kind words and feedback, they're very much appreciated! :)

I personally believe the movement speed is a bit too slow sometimes, and the main reason behind this was that the whole game was designed under the span of a day so that we would have as much time as possible to execute it and make it happen - which resulted in some bad design choices, such as the staircase filled with 3 long voice lines for which the only solution by the time we discovered that as a problem was an artificial slow down to the player (which to be fair, is not really a great move or fun mechanic, though i guess it works as a last resort haha).

I'm glad the prompts lead you as intended, it was critical to get the player's attention as much as possible given the house's shifting nature and the overall dark environment.

And no, you cannot break the loop and the game is repeating endlessly as intended. :) + you are absolutely correct with your assumption.

The protagonist is stuck in an endless limbo of repeating forgetfulness and rediscovery of love, joy, pain, regret and powerlessness. The voice on the phone is the ex lover of the protagonist who, despite how much he loved him, grew emotionally and physically tired of taking care of the protagonist, especially once he was hurt by him due to his (purposefully unnamed) conditions. The house is quiet, has a bunch of boxes and no sign of life as the caller had left long ago, leaving behind only a few hints and pieces of memory. Every time the loop starts, the protagonist, much like the player for the first time, discovers all there is visible and audible, but something much deeper, much darker, and much more tragic that one cannot grasp as clearly as a picture or rose in a room also surfaces. The player's realization at the end that the game has restarted is unique, as the protagonist does not have that luxury, however it is fun to read and hear from multiple people that they were unsure whether the game ended or not. That was semi-intended, as the confusion it harbors fits with the confusing nature of the house, its caller and protagonist. :)

Thank you <3, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your kind words and feedback, they're much appreciated! :)

Haha that is fun to read :D That little sound effect was amongst the last additions and I'm glad we added it!

I didn't outright say what condition(s) the main protagonist has because I wanted to avoid misrepresentation of any serious conditions since I did not have enough time to do ample research, however in general I would say the protagonist has memory loss and anger management problems which are way out of their control.

Thank you so much! :D

Thank you very much for your feedback and your time, your words mean a lot to us and they're really good to read. :)

Thank you very much, we appreciate it a lot! :D

I am beyond humbled, we appreciate your feedback more than you'd know. :)
Thank you so, so much! And yes, you are right and thank you for the tips as well! After the voting period, I plan to release a patch with some fixes and I'll experiment with the subtitles.

Thank you so, so much! :)
And yes, I agree with you on the subtitles - they would have helped a lot especially given the distorted nature of the lines, but sadly we ran out of time to implement something like that. Maybe post jam ratings, haha :D

Thank you! :)
