Sadly kept getting stuck (pressing z didn't help), but I did like what I did play. Your voice is pretty good for narration apart from the microphone noises that sometimes came through. Good job!

Positive narrative that I appreciated and enjoyed. Lots of potential. Table Tennis game was far too hard so I appreciated the skip function there. Given a bit of polish and this will be fantastic.

I find unique narrative by utilising voice acting really creative. I got stuck a few times while playing but other than that loved the entry

Sudden 3 year hit like a truck, voice over really helped to get what to do. Musics are very good.
Unfortunately, stuck after doing the bed.
Edit:Ok find out, not stuck anymore

Final Edit : enjoyed the ball game and final message is very good and ties the game to the theme. I think resolution created problems and could not see the whole game screen, but it did not stop me to finish the game.

I was also enjoying the stream too, btw.

The game looks good I like the pixel art. But I went to the store bought the things went home but I couldn’t enter any door from the house I couldn’t enter in the kitchen and I got stuck! Good job anyway!

This turned out really great :) I love exploration games in general, especially with different locations :)

For the future – it’s better not to breathe into the microphone, especially at the end :) That comes with experience, but just something to keep in mind. The voice acting itself – 10/10, seriously awesome :)

At one point, the player’s face filled the whole screen and I couldn’t continue :<
But I really liked that you can move between rooms, that the interactive objects make sounds, that this isn’t just a game – it’s a story~
Thank you so much for your work and for the game! It brought me real joy :)

UPD → I re-read the description and figured out how to progress – I managed to reach the end :)
Well, you managed to surprise and delight me even more – the later sounds were even better, tons of mini-games – a whole story :) Even ping-pong! :) You did an amazing job! Thank you for your effort and for such a cool little game))) I think the theme was revealed really well and neatly. You did a fantastic job!

Loved the narrative focus. It made the experience feel complete.

I loved that there was voicing acting! Not easy in such a short time frame, I very much get staying in bed too long on my phone lol, nice to see a narrative focused game too, I had fun experiencing the story, well done!

I think the game was a good concept, I think next time you should focus on making sure none of the art is blurry and they all fit the same style. Also, Why are the cars going into the woods 😭

I liked the narrative you wrote, it was a compelling story. Gameplay was maybe a little bare-bones, with lots of walking, but I enjoyed the minigames. My only complaint is the "mixels" - you have mixed pixel art of different resolutions, when pixel art look a lot better when all pixels are a consistent size. Creative entry, I liked the way you  intrepretted the theme.

Cool idea, nothing crazy but the theme is definitely there.

The scaling with the art is a bit weird but the sound is good. And there is an interesting story told.

Good job

I love your take on the theme, we had a similar idea when brainstorming and I’m glad to see it made! The artwork is quite nice but the voiceover is a really unexpected surprise, it gives it all a greater sense of realism that really works to send the message. Nicely done!

I liked your art style! good job!

thanks for your feedback,check the credits for the art

I liked the unique interpretation of the theme!

Cute lil walking simulator-esque game. Telling the story about loop rather than implementing it in any game mechanic is a safe way to add it into the jam. Could've maybe let the player experience the loop a little bit more.

Love the art, narrative and audio the most! It has such a cool vibe. Gj mate

It's not too bad of a game! seeing construct 2 was a bit unexpected too, rarely see that :> anyways the audio was decent and interactions luckily didnt seem to break for me, only minor things that ill say is that in the tutorial the "interact" is mistakenly spelt as "intract" and also perhaps there could be an arrow indicator as to where to go when outside in the world, but besides that not too bad of an entry!

Edit: As I felt I didn't give this game a fair shot quitting when I did, I decided to return and finish the game.
First of I undersold the audio at first. The sound effects and music were good and this is the only game I have seen in the Jam with a voiceover. 
The game was defiantly still buggy and unpolished, but as I knew some of the quirks this time, they were less annoying. Additionally I enjoyed the second half much more than the first (I will leave it unspoiled) and as I had missed that the first time it has left my second play more satisfying. I still think my criticism from the first play holds, but I did enjoy the game more this time.

I will be honest, I did not love this game and this review is a bit critical (sorry), the bugs defiantly broke my immersion a lot and at some point I got stuck and reload the page losing my progress and didn't restart (it was in the know bug list but I didn't see that because I was in full screen) I think a lot of my problems with the game are from the time pressure to make the game from the jam and with more time it could be much better. Also, as I left early I may well have missed a great payoff.
All that said, this is not my go to genre so I was bound to not love it, and you made a game 96 hours which is a feat.
