This game is so polished. It was really fun to play!
Level design and lighting were super cool. Interesting take on the loop theme, but Erica got on my nerves pretty quickly! lol
This is an interesting and well made game. I love the story and the visuals. If the game have an enduing I did never find it. Overall is this a good a very well made jam game.
The use of light here is excellent. The controls were intuitive and precise. The story is personally relatable, and chilling. Nicely done!

Thanks for all kind words, folks :)
@jk5000 : The game in itself is not ending its never-ending loop.
@peeweek thanks, no likes for us? :(
I love every aspect of the game. Writing, visuals, sound - everything seems so polished and well crafted. I'm not sure if there is an actual ending of this infinite cycle, but maybe it doesn't have to have one. When you're stuck in this kind of relationship, there is no easy way out. Thank you for this emotional experience.
thanks @bereg! Indeed there's no ending to this experience (unless you Alt+F4 of course :) )
Nice! I haven't found the door on my playthrough, so thanks for the video! :deer:
Amazing visuals, great sound design and overall just a really polished game. Would've loved an ending/break in the cycle though!
You nailed the mood for this game. Graphics and audio are top notch. I personally would have liked to see some sort of ending or a resolution, but maybe the message is that being in a toxic relationship can feel like an endless loop. Either way, amazing job!
Good visuals. Super execution of the lighting and level design. Plus the story is cool and the ambiance is here.Super feeling and good moment.
Really really enjoyed this, great job! Agree with everyone else that the lighting and visuals were top-notch - minimal but brilliantly executed. Literally the only thing I could think of was that the sink wasn't too obvious and took a moment to find, but that's really a small thing! Also gave me chills based on my own personal experience. Thank you as well for uploading the source code, I'm definitely going to have a poke around for some tips!
OH and last thing I loved that lighting effect on the mirror in the bathroom!!
I won't be playing this one, but I do appreciate the warning up top. That's very cool of you.
Excellent game. The story and mood were interesting. Visuals were great.
You did really nice work here.
This looked so good! Was really nice paired with thouse sound effects.
The lighting. Just wow. Looked so polished. And even the ray tracing with the mirror.
Good Job you!
P.S. Hoped i could leave the house someday, but i guess erica won't ever let me leave..
Very high quality work and attention to details. Dialogues are well done and feel real, but maybe they start a bit harsh and I was mad at Erica pretty fast and it's only with the door's dialogue that I started seeing how such relationship take can perdure. I would have liked some kind of conclusion but I suppose there is none appropriate, and when I quit the game, I didn't feel any relief, which may be the point. Maybe putting something visible from afar on interaction would help finding them, but I guess it would also make the game shorter. Anyway, good job on a touchy subject.
I like the style of this game. In fact, it reminds me a lot of one idea for a game that's in my idea drawer.
Wow this looks and feels great! Congrats!
Really interesting game, graphics and controls are amazing. Great sound effects, Great Job!
Thank you everyone for all these kind words and good reviews! I honestly did not expect such good results. I am very grateful you enjoyed my contribution to the Jam and I really hope to have time to join the next jam in April! :)
