How does your game fit the theme?
In our game, you play as an explorer who lands on a mysterious planet in search of a legendary creature. Upon encountering it, you're trapped in a loop, a repeating sequence of events that subtly shifts depending on the choices you make, reflecting changes in your "consciousness." The loop isn't just a narrative device, it's a core gameplay mechanic. The only way to break free is to identify and unravel anomalies hidden within each iteration. These changes are the key to escaping the loop and uncovering the truth behind the planet and the creature.

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
WOW, thank you! I was definitely aiming for the overall rating, and I got #189.
Congrats, great result!

Hopefully you will have it playable on browser.
We sure will! We are waiting for the voting period to load it.
Note from the Developer
Hey there, and thank you for checking out my game!
Unfortunately, the current build has a number of small bugs, and one major one in the barrel puzzle, that prevent progress beyond a certain point. I'm genuinely sorry for this! If not for that blocker, the game would have included 8 additional levels and loops, each introducing new variations of the core mechanic.
The idea was to create a looping narrative where your answers to yourself would shift the entire game’s aesthetic, moving from 2D, to pixel art, to 3D, with unique puzzles, props, and music in each phase. I really wanted every loop to feel fresh and meaningful, both visually and interactively.
On a brighter note: the game features over 10 original tracks in its OST, which I’ll be making fully available once the voting period ends. I hope you’ll give those a listen too!
Thanks again for playing, and for your understanding. Despite the bugs, I hope you can still get a glimpse of the vision behind the game.
