Le graphique est cool

I do not know if I understood anything, but I found all 5 cycles))

Pretty cool game, but I don't really enjoy narrative driven games, so I did not play a lot (it has nothing to do with your game). I did get one ending in, like, 2 minutes. Is it supposed to be done so quickly? I really like the art style by the way!

It's certainly interesting...

I liked the weird though a bit more of information would be good, interesting experience anyways

I want to like it more than I do - the very slow text in conversations makes me not want to play - but it's a cool game with a nice aesthetic.

I'm not sure where the theme comes in but otherwise it's a nice game, with pleasing graphics!

Interesting machine!The story is great.I met different people in my life(including myself?) well,I try over and over angain but only clear one end... (Besides,we made a game also tell a story(not obviously...?)... https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/$153426)

Hey there! Interesting little game. I really dig the art style. The color palette was chosen nicely. I played two of the 5 endings, but I admit that I didn't really understand or catch what you were going for narratively, I liked the mood nonetheless :)

Interesting narrative, once you piece it together. I assume "the machine" is a metaphor for work or school.

In any case, thinking about my own life, the machine has given me success and happiness. So. All hail the machine! I guess.

I got all five endings, by the way.

looks like there was a deeper meaning but I missed it I think 😕

No sound. I found the game really confusing, and unintuitive. I kinda liked the graphics, but the game just didn't make any sense.

it's difficult to figure out whats going on (at first). I accidentally killed a man because i didn't know how else to progress? which was alright i guess. and then i accidentally revolted because i wanted to explore. There's a lot of good stuff here, but it shows up when it's not expected.

The graphics are really intresting though! i liked seeing the little mysterious tents and bridges.

I think I got all 5 endings? Not totally sure, needs more narrative both visually and thematically. I appreciate the attempt to target a profound concept it just felt a bit empty like there was a lot missing. Sound definitely would have been nice. There was also a bug that would kick me back to the main menu after starting, multiple times. Wish the bridge behind you was something, kept trying to trigger a change, but nothing.
