Yo man you good?
Great spin on the theme, really introspective. Sometimes being an artist is never filling the void, always being hungry. Sometimes its a desperate feeling. Sometimes, though, that hunger is what gets me out of bed and working hard on the things im passionate about.
Great entry. Hope youre well.
This is very bleak, but great job. That room makes me feel sad and alone.
The game is quite dark, but it reflects the real world of indie game development.
I hope all is well with the game's author!
Other than that, I liked the game, and I also have the same VCR as the one in this game.
Good job!
An interesting idea for a game! It's a pity that game development is associated with such a boring life. Joke
@vivid-hallucination Thank you! Bleak is my style :) I haven't yet managed to make the mechanics of rotting the entire room
It was a bit unclear at the start but then I realized what to do and it was fun. Nice atmosphere btw Good job
Wow, great narrative. I'll disagree though, I don't think you're collecting monuments to your failure because if they're anything like this game they're creative and thought-provoking. Keep grinding, I see you!
@hank-ather Thank you for review! Yeah, I'm good, I just love make dark narrative games :)
@zazios Thank you for review and for asking! I'm doing pretty well :) Yeah I also like Better VCR font, already used it in two games and probably will use later on!
@x2shadow No, I mean literally XDD. I have the same VCR Player that's present in the game
@ckane144 Thank you! I love making dark narrative games. I definitely check out your game later too!
@zazios ahahah, damn, my mistake :) It is fun coincidence, plus immersion i guess...
Interesting but also a really confusing game
Hella moody, man - just wish there was more puzzle to it. Keep up the good work
Honestly I couldn't figure out how to do anything lol, I really like the aesthetic though!
@wishes Thanks! Can you please tell me what was confusing? I tried my best to keep things clear
@braeden Thanks! I put a lot to make game atmospheric. Talking about how to play... Actually it's all simple, just mix a few game mechanics and press build! Like "Gameplay + Narrative -> Build = Game"
The game is so depressing, omg. The main character is just like me fr. I got stuck in the table at one point :) I really liked the sound and the mood of the game, good jobScreenshot 2025-10-08 115109.png
Pretty fun concept overall — even if it doesn’t go beyond the jam, it still hits me right in my developer heart :)
Love the whole concept :D Great game.

This is simply wow... the first game at this jam that I've really enjoyed and really resonated with. It's very close to that feeling of Groundhog Day: every day brings a new failure.
I hope all goes well for you. Considering you made the game alone, it's simply amazing in three days!
Great game! I also really appreciate how short and on point it is.
Yep, that’s how it is, but never forget - you make games for yourself and for the joy of it!
It took me a while to learn the drag and drop interface (I thought just clicking would do the trick). Once I figured out that part of the puzzle, it was simple enough. Some of the messages hit home; e.g. "The void didn't shrink, it just took on a different form" (if I remember right). A bleak game, but then again bleakness is an appropriate subject, especially for a game jam like this one. I love the graphics and mood of this game.
I like this depressive concept. It looks like life sometimes...
