How does your game fit the theme?
The gameplay loop of the inspiration, The Exit 8, consists of loops. We tried to carry a similar idea of looping through the same rooms with little changes each time into our game.

My idiot self thought the banner was the game for way too long and couldn't work out how to move.... Once I got over that first self-inflicted hurdle I enjoyed this. I haven't actually played exit 8 or really heard much other than the name so this was a cool little spot the difference for me. A really cool experience with solid art to match. Good job.

Developer

Haha, sorry for the confusion lol. I'm so glad you figured it out and enjoyed it, especially as someone not already familiar with The Exit 8! Thank you for playing!

nice, game! the exit 8 style really fits the theme

Developer

Yeah- it was what our team IMMEDIATELY went to haha. Thanks for playing!

Developer

Thank you for playing! :D

This reminds me of when I got lost at the super market when I was little haha! Great theme!

Developer(+1)

Haha, I'm glad it invokes that sort of idea! Thank you for playing!

Great take on the theme. I suck at these memory/observation games but it was still very fun. The art and sound were really well done too. Nice work!

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing! :D

Maybe you could check out my Game too!

I guess I'm too observant, I got out really fast!  

Developer

Great job! Thanks for playing!

I managed to finish the game ! It took several attempts before I started to accurately notice what were off in the rooms. Great game, great use of the theme !

Developer(+1)

Congrats on finishing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for playing!!

This is nice! Only change I'd make is maybe not having to go through the two tutorial rooms at every mistake? Like, maybe being able to go back there if you WANT to, but not being forced to.

Otherwise pretty cool game!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Definitely a great suggestion! We didn't really have time to do that due to how last-minute the tutorial was, but we're planning to release an update to fix it after the jam just for our own satisfaction lol. I do like the option of redoing the tutorial while making it optional- I haven't heard that one before lol. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Not sure what I was supposed to do, I just kept repeating the tutorial again and again...I tried going the opposite way whenever it changed to the other room(is that the furniture change?) but that didn't seem to work.

Developer(+1)

You had the right idea! The only issue is that there's two random rooms each run - you can see them both in their default states the first time, and then afterwards, when the map pops up, there's a chance for smaller anomalies - like items changing colour, or going missing! You'd want to go backwards when one of these anomalies happens. I'm sorry for the confusion, and thank you for playing!

Neat little Exit 8 style game, really liked the art and vibe!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it! Our artists KILLED it hehe. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Very cool little game I like the atmospher and the music so much. Good job!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

It was a bit confusing for me, but maybe it's because I haven't played this style of game much.

Developer

Yeah, very fair. The point of the style of game IS to be confusing and make you figure it out, so it's a bit tricky before you know what you're doing. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Haven't played exit 8 so the idea was new for me, but I understood the mechanic. Liked!

Developer(+1)

That's awesome - congrats on figuring it out! Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Interesting concept!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Fun little take on the exit 8 genre, i love ikea yay ikea, ikea. The bear was scary, without its head. Good job on the game!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! We also love Ikea :3. Thanks for playing!

8ea! 😹 I was a bit confused whether or not i was doing the right thing at first, but got it in the end. Short and sweet game!

Developer(+1)

Haha yeah, that's sort of how it's meant to go. Congrats on getting it eventually, and thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

The take on the theme is really cool, maybe needs a bit more pointers at the beginning to get a better understanding. Really good game!

Developer

The lack of guidance is sort of intentional, but we HAVE definitely been seeing how that style of game isn't for everyone lol. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

I like the concept but was confused at the beginning. Once I got the hang of it it became super fun!

Developer

That's actually sort of the intended gameplay loop lol- it's definitely got an initial sharp learning curve. I'm so glad you enjoyed it after you figured it out :D! Thank you for playing!

The idea is cool, i haven't played exit 8 so it is my first experience with a game like this. I think my main problem is i don't really know what to look for to know when to turn back, the tutorial is very cryptic and you don't really have a phase where you know: ok now i must pay attention and remember THIS room.

The music is nice, i read the comment that some sounds aren't playing and that is probably part of the reason why it is so hard, a real shame that happened. The pixel art is good, and overall i enjoyed the aesthetic

Developer(+1)

Ooh, that's a good point. A warning to keep an eye out at the start could definitely help - although a lot of it is cryptic intentionally to mimic the vibes of The Exit 8. The music is definitely a shame, I have no idea how the html port broke it lol. Thank you for playing!
