Amazing game.

The gameplay and puzzles were pretty mind bending, the atmosphere were giving stanly parable and subliminal vibes. well done.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it. Those games were actually a big inspiration for my game.

Wow, pretty amazing stuff.

Really liked the time travel mechanics and how the rooms were somewhat persistent with the object placement.

Worked fine on chrome for me btw.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. So it's not entirely a Chromium issue. That is interesting.

I played a while but couldn't get myself to keep playing due to eye stress, just there I realized this may not be the way it's meant to be played! Over that, great game with a nice not-linear idea!

Yeah, sorry about that. I mentioned in the description that the game is not working properly in Chromium based browsers. I did some last minute project settings before exporting and didn't test on Chrome after that and here's the result.

If your eyes can still see and you are interested you can play on Firefox or download the game.

Wow, that was an awesome game. I really like the idea.

Developer

Thanks, I'm happy to hear that.

It is a pity that it is not working in the Chrome-based browser. This game is gold! One of the best of this jam so far. 

Congrats! I'm really impressed. 

Developer

Yeah, it's a real shame. I tested the game in Chrome and it worked, but then Firefox had some issues so I changed window settings to get that working and forgot to test the game in Chrome again. I will fix it after the jam. Thank you for playing!

We played it through! Nice and clean design, appealing idea and clever level design.

Gave a mix between Stanley's Parabel and Portal :-) 

Developer

Well done! Those two games actually were the biggest inspirations for my game. Thanks for playing!

Oh wow this was good. Really enjoyable and immersive. Would love to see more of this.

Developer

Much obliged. And who knows, I'm definately interested in developing more immersive puzzle games :)

Oooh, this is really good!

Very beautiful, nice atmosphere and good puzzles. I also really liked the ending scene. 

Well done!

Developer( 1)

I appreciate it. It was quite a challenge to fit the ending scene within the room system, but I'm glad it was worth it.

A beautiful, beautiful game.  Inspirational.  I adored this game!  Such a wonderful cerebral journey.  Lovely art, lovely sounds.  Immersion is off the chart!  If this isn't in the top three I'll give up time travel for good! 

Developer( 1)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I think we should all use time travel in moderation :)

What an awesome concept and execution on it as well! Fantastic job! The design is also fantastic, the core concept is taught just through playing the game and figuring it out on your own. For most of the levels I thought the rooms followed a strict time based pattern, although it felt like the last couple were more zany than time based (still good puzzles tho).

I'm also surprised you got a screen-reading shader to work on a web build in a browser at all! Had to remove the web build of my game cause the the whole screen was black on all the browsers I tried (Chromium or not).

Honestly, brilliant job, I'm quite impressed! :)

Developer( 1)

I'm glad you liked it. I agree the last levels became a bit zany, because I wanted something to lead into the dramatic ending and I run out of interesting places to hide items :D

This was awesome! My favorite game so far! Its really mind bending. The puzzles are put together really well too.

Developer

Thank you, that means a lot to me.

Absolutely amazing game! I think this is a bit like the Stanley Paradox in some ways. I love it!

I really liked it (though a bit scary at the end lol). Great atsmosphere, reminded me of antichamber. The game works really well, good music, very simple assets but perfect for this atmosphere. More is less is respected I felt like. I had a blast thank you

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry for the fright, but collapsing of the multiverse is scary :)
