How does your game fit the theme?
The story revolves around people being stuck in a loop and the train where the story takes place is also a big loop.

Did not expect a narrative game with this theme, but this works really well! Cute game, I really liked the story and the art-style.
A good little narrative game with a lot of little pixel hunting. I think priorities were spent in the right place, though if I hadn't played these kinds of games before I can imagine how frustrating it would be to find stuff like the teddy bear. A little more clarity and "juice" would have made this a more impactful experience - not bad at all.
Ahh man that was amaziing. I loved the story and the little tricks with the 2 end of the train looping-like the run with the child or the wine stealing. Very well made and even polished. Good job!
Cute art and touching story, the music was nice too, I hope you make more games, I'd love to play a polished game by you someday. (:
I really like it. The graphics look really cute and I like the story and characters. The only thing I don't like is... the music. It's not that the music is bad. It's a nice little song. It's just that it's too short to be repeating this much. After a while it becomes too much to handle and I had to turn it off haha. But other than that I really liked it!
Cute game, but I confess I got a bit taken aback when it's a cute scene then in the very next car lies a an ominous looking "summoning circle" lol. The arts is very charming, the writing is also quite cute.
Fun game! Well done narrative styled game with some good bones and discoverys.
cool game! did get stuck a few times though- would appreciate if you checked out mine if you have time :D
I got bored by the second cart brow. Why can't you just gime the key man. Lowkey but I can't find the KEy.
Very cute and fun puzzle game. I got stuck when trying to find the special candle and the husband so I couldn't finish the game. Great job overall, I really liked the looping train and would have loved even more puzzles involving it (maybe there is more that I didn't get to since I couldn't complete the game...)
So underrated! I love how to used the idea of the loop in the story too. Great job!
really liked the artstyle
and nice idea on the train-loop, fits right in!
