Very moody, great visuals that worked with the music and plot. Smooth movement, very nice transition between rooms. Was really good looking and felt like it could be expanded into something longer! Good job

Nice little game. The premise was interesting, and the visuals/sound etc was all very atmospheric. The Ghost movements were smooth, and the timing aspect was a nice touch.

The fact that the game continues after "the end" is a little confusing - I initially thought there was more stuff to do (like opening that door at the end of the hall). But overall well done! Would love to see it expanded.

Mood is here, controls are ok, the background track adds a lot to the immersion. Puzzle part is good too, we dig in the lore more and more after each restart. Very interesting !

Really nice game! The music and graphics fit the mood well. Wish it was longer, but I realize it's not easy to do more in just a weekend. As Vesper said, the fact that the game continues after "the end" is quite confusing, I kept wandering around for 2 or 3 reincarnations before giving up

Nice game ! The story is promising, the immersion quite good and the art is very nice ! Too bad it was so short but that's a game jam for you ! ;) Well done !

Nice game! Everything fits perfectly! The story is great and wish you could make it into a full game! I like the transition between rooms, any chance you could share how you made it? :smile:

Awesome game. Great athmosphere, background story is cool. A bit short, but really polished. Enjoyed it a lot!

This is very cool! Love the visuals and music, and the mechanics are interesting. The end was very sudden, I would love to play more :) Great job!

Fun concept, to repeat a loop and discover a little more each time. The visuals are really nice and the bgm is pleasant too. I realised that the patient number is in the title of the game, thought that was some third-wall breaking gameplay, but then realised you can discover it in the game as well lol. Wish there was a bit more content but what you got done is great, nice work!

From the moment I saw "Stuck in a loop" on the list of potential themes, I was hoping with all my heart to see something like this. The concept of retaining limited things between time loops is absolutely fantastic and I applaud you for your efforts here.

The art style and atmosphere really ties everything together, and I think you have a really good idea to take forward here. I'd love to see this played out in stages, carrying things over between cycles to solve puzzles with more complexity than memorisation in the future, perhaps even holding one item (like the key) between loops.

Phenomenal job, really hope you guys go on to make this into a full game.

Big fan of the artwork, couldn't seem to get the "Enter to retain information" mechanic to work but luckily I have an okay memory so I completed the game anyway.

Very nice game! I loved the idea, the settings, the butt and the overall graphics! I got stuck a bit at the very beginning, I could not make the diary work but otherwise, this was a great game!

Really great work here! Love the graphics and the idea. Found the background music a little annoying. Very polished.

Wow! What a game! Art, story, sounds and music are excellent! You all made an amazing job here! I think you can improve the feedback when the "stamina" is near to zero (it's a bit scary the sound and the effect when teleport the character xD), also careful with the full-screen mode, I think you can't see well the "stamina" bar. Despite these silly tiny things, it's an amazing game! Congrats team!

Great game, but I wish it was either longer or have more logical end - so I can feel some reveal at the end. But this is LD, there is not enough time to do everything :D. BTW, had really hard Blackwell series vibe, did you try it? It's about medium and ghost detective, and in the last part of the series there is an episode where you need to free your medium from the psychiatric as a ghost. You should try it, it is great one!

Awesome game! I love the idea. The graphics, sounds and music is amazing. It was short but still really good. Good job :smiley:
