Hi there!
I'm one of the 6 judges for this RPG Maker Game Jam 2025. I was one of the 2 judges assigned to your game, and we have been assigned to rate your games according to each metric highlighted on the game's main jam page, and submit these ratings to the organisers, who will then appropriate what happens with that. Please contact them in the Q&A if you have any further questions about the judging process. The judges will work on different time schedules, so even if I may have finished playing your game, the entire process might not be finished as of yet. Many of these reviews I am posting while still judging.
All that aside, I'd like to share my VOD of me playing your game, which contains up to an hour of gameplay, and some final thoughts at the end! Depending on whether I stopped the VOD early or not, it will also contain many of the thoughts that I say to you below, which may cause repetition. So just be aware of that.
I will also attach a review below this VOD. I will not disclose my ratings for each category as of yet, but those will be revealed in due time. Not all judges are required to post a review or VOD to each game, but many will do so even if it's optional, including myself.
Here's the VOD:
So I'm really, REALLY surprised that this game doesn't have any comments on its main page. I think it does one of the COOLEST things i've seen this jam (and i've played 120 or so entries by the time of this writing), in creating new windows to represent the "other half" of the world. It's such a cool concept, and I'm in love with it!I am a fan of atmospheric horror-puzzley type games like "Who's Lila?" and such, and this gave me those type of vibes. I REALLY wanted to get into it more but because the rules say that if you hit a softlock that is past the 10 minute mark, the game is not disqualified, but I can't play any more as a judge, and I just have to judge my experience up until that point. I accidentally hit the Time Point 3 in the master bedroom, and it softlocked me I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). I tried it more than once (a bit naughty of me, I just wanted to confirm it was a softlock because I REALLY wanted to play more of this game), but it softlocked on me again.
What I played was incredibly atmospheric and very awesome... but sadly I only got up to that certain point so I don't even know what the story added up to or where it went or the conclusions... which is pretty important in judging whether this story adds up to a great product overall.
Keep making awesome games - I'm sorry about the softlock. I wanted to play more, definitely. I might even do so after I've finished these reviews, just to see where that story went!
You're awesome. Every game's a gift.
Bug: Please avoid using the item "Time Point 3" in the master bedroom, as it may cause a bug that gets stuck on a certain line of dialogue. This step is not necessary to complete the game.
