Hola, I really like the artwork; it really sets the horror vibes. It's a very challenging game for me, but I like the idea of the game. Fantastico!

Thanks for playing it, it is really confusing and cryptic because i didnt have much feedback in development, but im working on a "PostJam" version more polish and enjoyable.

I loved the game for its aesthetic, atmosphere and cryptic writing. Unfortunately lacks a fair bit in gameplay and could use a big overhaul on that front. I am heavily biased towards these kinds of horror games, but if anything it makes me excited to see if there will be a post-jam version or what else you'll be cooking in the future as there's a crazy amount of potential on display here!

I really liked this as a concept, really cool aesthetic set for the game as well, just needs a bit more polishing and maybe a bit more clarification on some mechanics, otherwise great stuff!

I don’t know if I quite understood what I was supposed to do, but in a way that added to the feeling of being stuck in the loop. I really enjoyed the aesthetic!

Thanks, but yea the game is really cryptic and hard to understand due to lack of feedback. I really want to make a "after jam" version, polishing things that make the game more hard than it is

this is really coooooool i love the aesthetic... the gameplay loop feels really difficult and punishing. I wish there was more feedback when you accomplish something. awesome work!!

Thanks, the big problem of the game is the feedback, because i didnt have much of it when i develop it. After the GameJam i really want to make a more polished version of the game, with all the feedback i receive.

- very unique art style and audio! Gameplay loop was a bit confusing and building was a bit confusing but the vibe of the game made up for a lot of that!
