Well it is an interesting concept, but the implementation leaves something to be desired. Maybe it would make sense to get a clue or something each time you pass through a car otherwise it's just trying random types of objects. There also seems to be some graphical glitching when you pass the door frames.
Well that was confusing - which I guess is part of the point, so good job!
I haven't managed to finish the game, but I did somehow find myself outside of the train (it just ended with a door to nowhere so I stepped out), and then managed to see the engine but not get inside it. Honestly, I as trying to figure out the logic of the game throughout and didn't manage to understand what strings are being pulled behind the scenes to make this so confusing.
I do think it would have been more enjoyable had you received better clues as to what you're supposed to do. I also encountered a game breaking bug, where the character began floating and was eventually far enough away from the floor to interact with things, and later even too high to pass through the doors.
I tried to get past the first puzzle but I don't know what to do and I made it once, but then I levitated above the ground and wasn't able to do anything anymore. I kind of get what the game should be, but it wouldn't let me play it :/
I got a bit through the puzzle, but then I escaped the loop! bla.png (not in the intended way probably)
Gameplay wise the choice to only be able to progress if you randomly chose the correct option is messing with player agency. A hint or puzzle or some feedback would be good. I did not hear any sound, is that a bug?
The circular repeat is a neat concept. :)
Really enjoyed with this game concept, characters are good :D
Great idea, a funny game you made there. Could have been a little bit longer and what you have to do a little bit clearer. The music and the mood was also well executed.
The environment and sound is good but the gameplay need a few more clues, some NPCs or player-character/narator lines could do the trick. Even after finishing the game i'm not sure what those train whistles were about.
Thanks for the comment, guys! Really appreciate your feedback both positive and constructive. We indeed have spent less that intended time to make proper testing and QA. Sorry for the possible bugs occuring. As for the hints - I do agree that some UI tips or narration could have helped the player better understand the progression logic. But the again - its that confusing loop you need you outsmart, right? :D Thanks again everyone!
I totally get what you went for, but i have to say that the implementation was not as great as I expected... Never too sure what the implications of my actions were! Apart from that, this idea for a loop is clever!
fun game
Damn I look good in that suit!!! Good job!
I liked the overall vibes of the game, but I wasn't able to get past the first puzzle. I was sure there was some twist I wasn't seeing, but I was really confused. I made a few guesses, tried different suitcases, then tried pressing the colors in the order the character said them. I tried going in both directions. Anyway, I probably missed something in here, but I kept on trying and I wasn't able to figure it out (sorry!).
