Got super interested in what, where and why i was; but struggled with figuring out what was killing me. Otherwise very compelling!

Good job! I played through a few times, finished it on my second and third time, and only went up to the second level at the end. I wish the platforming controls were a little tighter, because I wanted to get the best ending but I kept slipping off some of the smaller platforms.

I like the game's tone, which was really dark and foreboding. Kind of reminded me of Eversion with how much worse the character got over time. The story left a lot to the imagination too, which was nice.

Overall, good job!

Very nice game. The only dark point is the soapy platform and the collision, but it was a good expenrience.

Could you set your game to "Windows Download" on your itch page? I would like to play it via Itch client but it shows as "not available on Windows".

Thanks for the update.

I just played it. I like the premise a lot. It's a good mix of memory and dexterity and fits the theme well.

For a jam the graphics are good, but some animation might have given the game a bit more polish. The music helps create a dense atmosphere and text elements are a nice way to communicate the mood even better.

Main main issue was that the controls could have been a bit tighter, as sometimes I was stuck on a ledge that I wanted to jump up on but instead I fell and lost a precious hit point.

Other than that it's a very solid entry, good job!

**Edit:** I just realized that you can dash. With that I managed to finish the game. Nice ending! I think I may have preferred the dash as a keyboard command as there are no other mouse controls in the game.
