Judge feedback

  • This really captured the sense of futility and listlessness when faced with writers block or a deadline (like judging a jam). I did not get very far in the allotted time (maybe that is the point) but, was never bored so need to go back and take a deeper look at this original one!
  • Compelling, dreamy atmosphere. I liked how the text responses after my inputs were like internal monologue. Very cool to be moving through time as I moved through the rooms. I had a hard time figuring out the puzzle logic, but that probably works for the dream-like logic theme. This is your first coding project? Fantastically done!
  • Interesting game in an original setting. Fun to play. The map and some descriptions are a little confusing at the beginning but the player rapidly understands why. A little bit difficult for me, but extremely enjoyable, overall.
  • Kind of dark, which I liked, but it can also be a bit confusing. A lot of the puzzles I solved by trial and error and didn't really understand why the answers worked. An interesting game, but I think maybe this type of story would have been better suited to a more wordy game outside the confines of the jam.
