You are stuck in a loop in your own bedroom and the bedroom keeps twisting and contorting and getting larger and weirder, stopping you from leaving.

This is a very poignant and creative take on the theme, narratively beautiful in its own right. Browser performance was a little stutter-y, but I really enjoyed it!
Very spooky game! Reminds me of pet sematary.
only one word comes to my mouth: WOW
The game crashed after I died near the end. But aside from that and some minor bugs, the game is fantastic !
The visuals are stunning. I commend you for taking on a heavier topic during a game jam, that is difficult and you pulled it off.
Amazing game! I love your take of the theme where they are in a mental loop. Story was great and I really enjoyed playing.
cute
Really impressive! Pretty deep narrative, nice artsyle, pretty polished for a jam game. Really good work!

Impressively massive for a 96 hour game jam! Loved the jet2 holiday bit haha. The game took a much different direction than what I initially thought, overall very cool!
Thank you so much for trying our game out and for the praises. Our team is really glad you liked the game.
I enjoyed the game a lot, and I'm crying as I type these lines. This subject is very tacky to me, as it revolves around a personal trauma I lived.
Beyond that, the gameplay can be janky, but if you find any jank, you can solve it by spamming attack and jump, a bug that enables you to move fast and fly, which break the atmosphere, but make the gameplay funnier.
Enemies suck and are defeated easily, but I'm a skilled gamer, so that's that.
stealth sections, I passed them all with just a jump when the radius goes back toward you, it's easy to brute force with a jump, I did not even realize it was not supposed to be possible.
SPOILER :
I got caught by the cat at the end, and then I had a black screen, please tell me that was all to see and didn't miss anything, the story was very compelling to me, I wouldn't want to have missed anything.
Thank you so much for trying our game out and for the praises. Our team is really glad you liked the game. Unfortunately due to the short time limit of the jam and bad planning on our part we did not have enough time to polish it and find these bugs. We will work on a more complete and polished version (and add more puzzles and cut content) of this game and release it after the game jam. as for your question, there is a proper ending if you can successfully evade the cat and make it to the door and escape the room.
Awesome game! I love the art and animation, it's amazing. I did find a bug in the room with the cage when I tried to crouch and uncrouch by the cage I fell through the floor. Either way, awesome job!
seems like a really good and fun game, but couldn't get past the first stealth section. it was a little too tricky (VERY small window of opportunity) and i kept either jumping over the box by accident OR phasing through the box and falling through the floor. can tell theres a lot of love put into this but it needs some more work :[
Cool, but I found a bug where I was able to push a cabinet inside of the wall and I could walk outside of the colliders.
So I was unable to finish the game...

Spooky game, loved it ! Good narration and art :)
Got my attention with the cat, but the surreal, odd feeling of the story kept me going, ahah! The game art is well polished for the timeframe!
I really love the art, it's really really polished! But I got stuck into a wall and could not continue :(
Great game, few bugs though; one that I especially enjoyed is the ability to fly if you spam jump and attack (I found this very amusing). Loved the art, music, story, and everything.
Idk if it's what's supposed to happen, but the cat keeps killing me after the stealth section and makes me restart, is this where the loop is supposed to come from?
also, I found the movement to feel really irresponsive and clunky
