Congrats on your first game jam entry! You did more than well I would say. Really nice little point and click like game with really sweet background music and cool puzzling! I am sure you are well aware of what could be better technically, so will leave that. One thing I would love to see, is some more of the background story, as you have set pretty nice atmosphere with the time machine, potions and such, and I would love to know mooore :) But I know that it even could have been in the plan, but the time constrains are not forgiving. Really great job done overall and I hope to see some more games from you in the future :)

This was a pretty solid entry, especially considering that it’s your first game jam! What a way to start!
The game was fun, short, and sweet. Really liked some of the mechanics that you had. It took me a while to know how to repair the machine, though (Mostly because I couldn’t find where the missing part was), but once I did it, everything went smoothly.
You could improve the way texts are being shown as well. As of now, they’re a little bit slow, and you can’t seem to skip the animations, as another comment mentioned, so that can be a little furstrating.
But overall, really nice job!
For being your first game this was definitely well put together. I didn't see that the chest needed a code instead of a key, but I managed to beat it without that. The only thing that really bugged me is that clicking skips the text that is currently being written out instead of showing it all, so you have to wait for it to slowly type out. Overall though it was short but fun.
Great interpretation of the theme! Felt very satisfying discovering all the answers and piecing together the clues!
Really cool. I like such point and click quests. Very nice idea with time travel :)
the art is very nice and smooth, the idea is simple but fun, a good game.
Thought this was really excellent! The small puzzles were fun to solve, the art and music were really pleasing and it was a joy to play. Great job!
I like the concept of a time travel escape room. The mix of point-and-click adventure and irl escape room sensibilities to the puzzle is pretty good.
Unfortunately I hit a snag, possibly a bug? Where after I had all the potions on the rack there was nothing else I could do to interact with them, and the sewer grating kept popping up when I tried.
Actually, it shouldn't do something. It simply gives you the order in which you need to click the buttons of the dude in the corner. I should have given a hint after finishing the potion rack though(I really lost track of "how possible is something to solve" after solving the puzzles over and over again for game testing).
Thank you for the nice critiques it really helps me to learn.
