Thank you very much for taking the time to give the game a chance!
To clarify what happened - you were hitting repeatedly "go back" in a 3 rooms corridor. With every successful move the character turns (except when going forward). So 2 times "go back" is effectively making a circle.
I believe this confusion can be easily avoided by adding more spoken feedback.
Honestly, I never played an audio game and would love to study any good examples if you can recommend such.
Thank you for the kind words. Your video motivates me to continue working on this project.
Not an easy game to understand =) It may lack a few sound feedbacks, to know for example that you switched from a set of actions to another (or maybe I missed something?) And I'm not sure to understand which instruments I should pick and why?
I'll have another go at it, but in the overall it seems like a good idea in which real efforts were put (nice to have recorded voice =)).

Hey! Thanks for the detailed explanation. That makes a lot more sense now.
Yes, I agree more audio feedback would help clarify things, since that's our only window into the world.
I've played a few okay prototypes of audio games, but unfortunately don't remember any I could recommend.
Glad the feedback was helpful. I'm interested to see where you take this. :)
Thx for contributing!

Congrats! Do you plan to keep working on it?
Thank you for the kind words!
And thank you for organizing this jam! It was very inspirational for me!
I have to admit that coding was more exhausting than expected. I didn't have the energy to record all the messages that I wanted.
I know what you mean about the lacking audio feedback and it is something that I am going to finish very soon.
I think this concept has a lot of potential that deserves to be developed, but I also want to practice on other jams.
