What makes your game a Mystery Game?
It's a mystery game because it's part escape room, part ontological mystery. The full game will have a mystery of discovering what happened to the missing Main Character.
Originally, this was going to be a timeloop, hence the name. I'm hoping to add that back in the post-jam ver!
How does your game integrate the jam's theme "Last Message"?
The character's quest begins when they discover the Last Message from the developer of the broken game she's trapped in.
Does your game use generative AI? And if so, in what way?
No

Such an original and compelling story! The dual endings add so much replayability (I think I got the most catastrophic one, haha). Great work implementing a save system too, and the soundtrack is perfectly atmospheric throughout.
If I could suggest one thing, I’d love slightly harder point-and-click puzzles (I’m a glutton for difficulty!) – maybe an inventory system to select items for interactions? But overall, this is fantastic work. Congrats!
Thank you so so much!!! I really appreciate your detailed comment!! :D I agree, it was originally gonna have an inventory but i ran out of time :'D I'll definitely add that in the full/non-jam version!!
I loved the story and the dynamic between the main characters. initial impressions where very positive!! however due to the grainy visuals and translucent text box. Actually reading the majority of the text was quite difficult and fatiguing. This unfortunately impacted my enjoyment. Overall solid effort!
Thank you so so much!! Yes I totally agree abt the textbox, it was a placeholder for the beginning/black bg scene and I didn't have time to update it :'D I'm so glad u still liked the story tho!!! :3
