Thank you so much for finding it intriguing! Actually, when you collect all the necessary objects, this message appears at the end
"You weren't here. You were in your mind. Each object left a trace. You tried to forget... but you remembered. And now, the loop ends."
That was meant to give a bit of resolution , but I totally get that it could be easy to miss or feel too subtle. I'm planning to improve this part in a post-jam update, maybe with a more visually or emotionally striking ending. Really appreciate your feedback!
