Super cute! I just beat it but got stuck for a very long time because the crate holding the paper was almost impossible to look at. I suspect the aspect ratio of the screen is messed up somehow, I have a non-standard monitor, but maybe it’s some other collision issue. Anyways, looking at the paper would always trigger the door’s code, and since I initially didn’t know any better, I though it was a generic indication for an interactible. Only after reading the other comment about two pieces of paper was I able to very carefully finally read it. Comically, because I spent so much time being confused, I accidentally performed all the other tasks to escape so it was smooth sailing from there.

How does your game fit the theme?
It's a game featuring a time loop: at the beginning of each loop you have to restart everything almost from zero!

Really fun game with a cool puzzle concept and unique mechanics like the crowbar and reset loop. I did run into a few small issues—like being stuck on some menu screens and the door code not giving clear feedback when it’s wrong—but overall, it’s creative and a blast to play. Keep up the great work!

First of all: thank you for the review, happy to hear that you liked it!
Regarding what happend: if you found both papers with the codes and tried to input them in the correct place (you need to match the colors) then it might really be a bug. We were a little short on time and coulnd't really playtest thoroughly, sorry!
I just beat it! Really clever use of the time loop mechanic at the end for the last puzzle. I was really confused for a bit before I understood what I needed to do. I think what I didn't realize before that was that you could go down from the first room into the cockpit with the main computer. I had to keep looking at the map to realize where I was. Really neat game though it was fun to think about.
