Honestly 10/10... I was not expecting to give this rating! This is not even my favorite game of the jam so far, but everything fits together perfectly, making the whole feel polished in its own humble way.

The only nitpick I have is the music that starts to get get repetitive after 45min of play time.

Well there's also the fact that the menu shows a phone list, and an option to "continue", hinting at some features that were cut out, but that's honestly unnoticeable.


Now I want to talk about the story. On my first playthrough, I spared panicking Marcus, because he was the one I had the least amount of clues against. Couch Marcus and leaning Marcus straight out denied the existence of Catherine, or avoided the question. So I figured maybe panicking Marcus was the real one, just so distressed that Jane had left him after he cheated on her that he was no longer making sense.
But I was wrong. And now I don't see why I should trust any of the two Marcuses in the living room over the other.

There's also the wooden rat which no one explained and I still don't know what's its story.
And finally I don't know understand why I should kill the last Marcus or not. I'm fine with multiple endings, but I don't see the stakes to understand the choice I'm making there.


So eventually I went with my own ending where I call any Marcus to the window and place myself right in front of it before he gets there, thereby getting myself glitched through the window and rightfully yeeted out like the break-in burglar I am. And thus all the Marcuses are free to live their split lives and never answer that cursed phone. This is now my head-canon: I was the one that was not real from the get go.

the wooden rat has no lore as far as i know xd it's a tiny easter egg i added without writing any background story for it. also, if this game receives any updates, i'll make sure that your ending becomes canon!

Thanks so much for playing (and for giving such a sizable chunk of your attention, it really means a lot!). Your feedback is super helpful; I definitely could have done more to establish a baseline of what it means to be "normal" in this universe, as you could make an argument for most of the characters to be the "real" npc without much further context.
