I liked this! Moving around was incredibly entertaining. I did not expect the movement to work in the way that it does but it was definitely a welcome mechanic. I also really like the way you integrated the theme into the narrative!

How does your game fit the theme?
the game features 3 non-player characters, each with a problem they'd like the player to solve. Unfortunately, each person also holds the solution to another's problem, and will not give you the solution until their problem is solved, hence creating a loop (to solve person A, you must solve person B, and to solve person B, you must solve person C, but to solve person C, you must solve person A). Also the map the game takes place on is physically a loop.
