Original take on the story, the gameplay and sound were a bit basic for me

Loved the edgar allen poe inspo and would love to see more, confused on how to progress but Im not the sharpest. good stuff!

I didn't understand it but that is of course just me. I discovered a bug that was if i run out of time it keeps saying the You don't have time thing. Great sounds!

i am not sure, what i was doing or what i was supposed to do. after a few tries i figured out, that you have to avoid thepeople to get to the next room, but what ever i did it always endet the same way.

Thanks to the other comments i now realised it is apparently inspired by a book.

I But i liked the design and the colorswap you used.

Love pico8 games

Quite an inspired take on the theme. Not only did you avoid the common black and white palette but you also played with changing it throughout the experience. Also interpreting a story from Edgar Allan Poe into a game jam game is extremely cool. While short I will say that the experience created the atmosphere it was going for. Great game.

This is a really clever idea, and I love the audacity of translating great literature to the Pico-8.

The music sets the right tone, but the track is very short--that handful of notes loops over and over.

There isn't much here in terms of gameplay--I think there were invisible hazards I had to avoid, but when I got to the last room I died anyway. If there was a way to win (contrary to the source material), I wasn't able to figure it out.

I liked that story, Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite short story writer. Changing the color palette to represent different colored rooms was clever. The music fits the atmosphere well.
