I really like the humor and writing in this! I looped twice, and was honestly expecting to be looped more, but I enjoyed the quirky puzzle solving in this!

Man, I am gonna be honest, this is sooooo goood ^^ I am having a lot of fun man! And doing a game that looks a lot like you looks really cool, I only will give you 5 starts because everything is amazing! Congrats man :D And I ended with only 1 loop hahahaha

tauheed-game-dev 2020-10-06 10:15

@demetri. Thanks for the feedback.

tauheed-game-dev 2020-10-06 10:15

@gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida. Thanks and yeah its really cool that we both came up with the same concept, congrats on getting only 1 loop

What a charming little game. Had a lot of fun playing this! :D

A nice little game. The pixel art looks really clean. The only criticism I have is that having the object name on the text box (like "chair") for example makes it look like it's the chair thinking and saying those thing, which was a bit confusing at first. But it's a minor nitpick.

Fun game! However, should be a quick skip option for dialog instead of having to go through so much of it. Would also have been cool to use the shovel on the monster under the bed :P

I liked this game a lot! It feels polished and well thought-out, the gameplay is enjoyable and the various elements are very cohesive. Good job and thanks for reminding everyone that 2020 sucks... ;-)

@tpsy. I thought the same but some of the objects were so close to each other that they needed some sort of identifier to show which object had been interacted with. Thanks for the feedback

tauheed-game-dev 2020-10-06 14:49

@rosettasoned. Thanks for the feedback, there is a cheat code in the game for faster text scrolling. press Lshift + S. I did include hints in the game but only if you died twice if not. Thanks for your feedback

The game is ok, it looks good. The story is also nice, but you could have done something more interesting for the interactions.

I like the humor, and the art and music are well done. I don't really think the time loop is used that much and it would be nice if some of the actions where animated or had an effect on the environment (the room looks the same from beginning to end)

belleartsi 2020-10-06 23:25

Awesome game, I genuinely laughed a couple times while playing it. The graphics were great and the story was quite interesting. I completed the game only looping once! :D

geraldfingburke 2020-10-07 00:53

Very well written. Loved the jokes and the references. The art was fantastic as well, and I never got tired of the background music, which is impressive for a game that takes a little bit longer to play through. Loved this!

somogy 2020-10-07 22:52

Nice Job and idea! Congrats!

marcadia 2020-10-08 08:06

Incredible jam game in all aspects. Maybe a lack of innovation tho? Everything else is well-polished, congratulations!

nyubi 2020-10-08 08:53

I enjoyed playing "Isolation", thx for making it! Art style, well polished, the humour (that poor tree, the loot from the chest :grin: ) Only a few minor ideas: maybe a UI screen before respawning would be nice, to reinforce the loop feel? And a weird thing: to me somehow the typing sound felt a tiny bit too fast/high pitched. Great game and also nice work on the trailer (script, the voice!, music, humour).Also, I'll check out your YT channel later :)

skeffles 2020-10-08 18:18

Great graphics and funny lines. I really hoped I could play the piano on the right.

matootsy 2020-10-08 19:24

So many ways to die in a single room ^^. I like the mood and Jokes in this funny little escape game. Good pixel art and music. Funny to see how much loop we made at the end. Good entry. Congratulation.

Hilarious and sad at the same time :mask: I am not sure why the level got reset once I tried to open the door (w mask and sanitizer acquired). And some items seem have no use. I see the art category is opt-out, was it your previous work or some free asset set?

Here is my playthrough:

tauheed-game-dev 2020-10-09 09:41

@icxon Thanks for the playthrough, yeah I think you were only missing the front door key which stopped you from getting out. I downloaded the art from itch.io, I remember it was CCO but cant remember the person who made it. This was my first Game Jam so didn't want to push too hard, maybe next time ill make the art as well.

zhanna 2020-10-10 16:32

I made it out, yay. Love the references

vphyre 2020-10-11 03:02

Your game looks very nice. I also really liked the sound and the whole atmosphere of the game. Very well produced. Loop and interaction mechanics are good and creative. I hope one day to play a full version, because your idea seems to be very good. Congratulations.

mza 2020-10-13 18:16

Its funny and puzzling in a fun way. The game looks really good visually.I would add a option to fast forward text. The game is great still.

steffy 2020-10-14 13:51

I cannot tell you how many times I looped. First the monster got me. Then the piano got me. Then the spider got me. Then I hoped I collected enough stuff and checked the monster again. Nope, he got me again. And the cycle continued... It was fun and frustrating. Nicely done.

alchemic 2020-10-15 07:46

Fun but kinda frustrating. Didn't really understand the sequences for some things, especially the monster under the bed. Not sure if a lot of things served any purpose. Fun game regardless.

teto 2020-10-22 18:26

I really liked this game! The whole atmosphere was nice and I liked the fact that you had to gather those things before leaving the house. Very topical! I think some of the sequences didn't have enough clues there like it doesn't suggest anywhere that the secret code would by for the painting so it did feel a little like trial and error sometimes. However, the commentary was brilliant with a really nice level of humour. Really well done!

malai 2020-10-25 16:09

Kinda nonsense, but in a good way :D
