I really loved the music and art combination. Very immersive atmosphere. The gameplay itself is rather passive, but I did not mind at all. I was enjoying the melancholic mood so much. I had just one issue. After I asked the girl out, this happened (picture below). It looks like I got stuck in the middle of two scenes and the game froze. I couldn't move. But overall, very cool game guys :)

Very nice game. I liked the graphics, the feeling and the story. Great use of the theme.

just, WOW! amazing job. Love how colors, and paint effect were achieved... and a brillant use of the theme.

This game is really lovely, especially the art, environment, and sound design. I'm not sure that I was convinced by the narration shifting between first and second person, or by the inclusion of some dialogue tags and not others, but overall, I do think that this is an incredible project. Very atmospheric and accomplished, and my favourite of what I've played so far!

The art is way too good. The music really fits the scene as well.

I don't even know if I feel happy or sad anymore. What a game! Everything about is so well handled. The story, the mood, the music and sounds, the directed gamplay, I mean... Well done, really! Also, side note, the shaders are awesome <3

Really cool game, and one of 2 text games I was compelled to keep playing. Some critique. I think the general premise of conveying 'stuck in a loop' is misguided here. This game portrays the in game character as stuck in a loop, and breaking out of it. But me the player, is stuck in a loop still not able to make any choices. I have no reason to want to wear a particular shirt, or chose coffee over tea. On the first few screens I was already thinking "I don't want the coffee, let me get the tea" and felt a conflict between how the game was telling me to feel and how I really felt. I think this theme could be conveyed better if you build a game that offers some trade-off to the player, letting them choose to continue a routine. If the player is the one who choses to do the same thing repeatedly, and then you offer a clever opportunity to change things up, I think the feeling of getting out of the loop would really work. Also, reading "da" and "poty" felt really out of place here and did not fit the rest of the writing.

Overall I really liked this, and felt like giving more feedback than normal because you are clearly capable of making really polished and cool experiences. Would love to see more.

From the way the text change to the visuals. The scene change was really stylish. This is truly one a kind! Loved every second of it.

Cool game. The looping around was really nice! And the mood in the game was spot on with cool visuals.

Very nice entry! I liked the story, if only there were a motivation for me to follow the routine of the character - or break it. I got some clues here and there but since I could not see why would I do it then... why would I do it? On another note, this game is absolutely gorgeous by the way (if only we wouldn't see the other scenes in the background when transitioning to the train). It made the webGL version lag as hell but I didn't mind.

i love how the camera lerps around in a never ending circle, from scene to scene

Graphics, Audio and Mood are :star::star::star::star::star:

Really like your take on the theme - seems that protagonist is stuck in more than one loop :slight_smile:

Great story telling, graphics and audio.

Cool game, love the visual!

arad-hamidsamiee 2020-10-23 17:30

This is sooooo aesthetic, bravo

Nice job! If you change anything about the game https://www.mumsports.com/ in the future, I would say a dash indicator is the way to go, I wasn’t sure whether I was about to blast off into space or just do a little hope. Best of luck getting all the ratings you need!
