Cool concept, scary actually o.o Good job!

amin-jk000 2020-10-05 09:09

love the graphics :v:

Quite an atmospheric experience!

I missed having reactions for ignoring the directives, but on the other hand, that does reinforce the meaningless of the "loop"

manspider 2020-10-05 10:52

@somnium your right about both. Reactions will come on future updates if any. But it kind of makes sense not to have them for now.

Do you just sleep until death or is there more that I've missed ? Also, on screenshots you have a happiness number, but in-game it's just "???", so there's probably something I'm missing but I don't know what...

The textures on the walls and the 3D model of the computer are super good, I love them. I spent a bit of time just looking at the wall from very close I'm a fan of this texture.

Graphics are quite good but I was confused as to what else you do besides sleeping?

This is an improvement compared to the real thing... but for real, visually it is very nice and moody, but the gameplay is very simple and doesn't surprise you in any way, which in a way fits the theme.

Im sorry did I miss something. I did not understand what just happened ^^

This was a very dystopian idea. The thank you for your TIME really hits hard for many people stuck in the loop in real life. What a surreal experience, interesting take on the theme.

@masaru That's a misdirection from me. This screenshot is from the editor and not in game. Happiness is a lie.

I did wish there had been some sort of punishment for ignoring the big screen. The atmosphere was perfect though. This is the same way I interpreted the "stuck in a loop" concept.

Really like the mood created, and it fits the theme well

mrbamboo 2020-10-08 02:57

Very nice feeling !

kirbloid 2020-10-09 03:26

Ooof too real. Really nails the mood!

This game has big mood. It's simple but I think it brings out the appropriate emotional response from players. I was trying to desperately find a way out of the loop or somehow raise my hunger or sleep bars, but nothing. Also, the typing(?) that I heard far way(?) in one of the loops was pretty dang creepy. Thank you for the experience.

Nice mood piece. At some point I swore I heard someone else typing in the game? But nothing I did mattered. Which is sort of the point I guess. Well done!

jk5000 2020-10-12 13:15

The visuals, atmosphere and the idea was good. Perhaps a bit short.

gelgavish 2020-10-14 09:28

This game has a really creepy feel and I like it. :)

I like the message of the game.

Super moody, nice message but I would describe this more as an interactive experience / art project (or maybe I didn't get something). I could see this in an art gallery, running in a VR headset...

Powerful aesthetics, intense mood and minimal design.
