i like your idea to rewind and allow for better choices and improve over time. not easy if you are tired from a game jam :)

I got to the end (RIP Alen ;_;)

I really liked the look, mood, and polish of this game. The card effects are sick (Especially the rewind one), and I liked the film grain. I also liked that the results persisted so I didn't have to memorize what happened.

I did find my self skipping the audio logs a lot after the first few and really just focusing on the resources and results at the bottom of the cards, but that might just be because I'm impatient.

This was a really fun and neat take on the theme. Great submission!

The HTML5 version is hanging on the loading screen for me -- anyone else experiencing this?

very good concept. had a bit of trouble keeping up with the story. adding subtitles would improve it greatly.

@ixchow I had previously uploaded a WebGL version that was stuck at 90% because of itch.io and Unity compression not playing along. So depending on when you opened it you have gotten that and maybe retry? Otherwise I have no idea.

@seezogames Didn't even think about subtitles, that's a good idea especially with my English. I will keep it in mind for future.

@magnusfurcifer Skipping the audio logs past the first listen is totally expected. They are just story/flavor anyway.

Great game! Would love to see this with animation/art on the cars to show the story unfolding, while keeping a faster pace than listening to the audio.

Great submission, good narrative, great graphic and audio, nice job so far!

Interesting approach. It's a little bit dificult to find out what to do and how swipes affect the stats. Maybe you can add a help screen in the beginning. Also I agree on subtitles, it would be great to have them. Overall it's a great game and engaging story. Also I dig the graphics.

Interest concept, I think the minimalist interface looks very nice. Like another person above said, subtitles would be nice but I totally understand that would be ambitious given the time frame.

This is really great, the polish and the voice are something unique

nobleboy 2020-10-06 01:53

Good game and a nice change of pace!

kittymac 2020-10-06 04:06

this was super cool, love the rewind effect

nbrowning5 2020-10-06 04:49

This is a really interesting idea, and the visuals and audio set a nice tone

I really liked this game. The story is interesting and the voice acting makes it very engaging. Great job!

glaciereclipse 2020-10-08 17:40

Extremely interesting game, really enjoyed seeing all the paths of the story. Very engaging, love the visuals and the swipe animations. Amazing work!

Nice way of turning branching storytelling into 'looping storytelling'!

apbakeware 2020-10-10 14:14

Great feeling of mood on a creative adaptation of the theme. Fun choose your own adventure game.

I am a huge fan of that movie and the original novel it is based on. I've got the reference from the very first slide haha!

Here is my playthrough:

Replay in a loop choices you've made is really nice way of beeing stuck in a loop !

jimbly 2020-10-13 02:10

Nice game! I really liked gaining some attributes on some of the times through the loop, as well as exploring the possible paths. Made it through to the end! Good job on the voiceovers.

midorimelody 2020-10-13 19:21

Great job

theo-ark 2020-10-21 15:39

nice way to fit the theme :D it was fun to test the possibilities and the way you can gain ability on past loops was cool too

Good job! I never really understood what my actions resulted in, suddenly I just died and got to try again. But I finished it anyway! For some reason I thought the gray icon to the right was my enemy's health so I tried to get that to 0, but in the end I don't think that was it. :) I believe subtitles would have helped
