Nice game. Love the idea for a text based puzzle like story game.  Great music and the visuals are good too (everything feels so clean). The story is by far the best I have seen in this game jam so far. Well done!

nice console loop, need that for my real terminal had some bugs but otherwise great story

Submitted

This is an interesting concept for a game! I managed to get free. But I also experience some bugs, like the poker minigame being completely broken. If you fix that and expand the story I think this could be a really cool charming little game!

Submitted

I didn't manage to progress very far sadly, but i've never played text adventures before so maybe that's why

Submitted

While being the oldest type of game there is, I never played one before. It was a nice, first experience to try out!

Submitted

a unique and entertaining experience ^^

Really well done!! The music adds so much vibe, love it. I got a strange bug: image.png

I can't get past the poker,  but I really want to beat the game, can you please help me? The music is awesome, and I love text rpg's, spend a lot of time on them a few years ago

I broke the loop, thanks! Text-based game is a rarity these days.  It's also a nice touch you added a possibility to comically end your own existence in every location. I could not talk to the gnome, but I could slap him in the face. This could be an even better text adventure after adding more plot and some improvements. Maybe an inventory on the side or in a form of another command?

Wow first time playing a text based game, and for my first experience it was pretty nice actually enjoyed it!

first time seeing a text based game during a game jam! good job!

A nostalgic adventure game! I liked the text adventure style and the different music for different rooms.

Sometimes it wasn’t clear what actions were available to me, and I think there were some bugs like “talk to gnome” which wasn’t recognised in the general store despite saying it was available.

I think somehow I accidentally straight-lined the steps so didn’t see much of the story :)

Not my style of game but I can respect the effort and creativity that went into polishing up the UI and storyline, well done

I do love a good text based game, and this was cool! I caught a bug or something while playing poker and it wouldn't let me continue. It kept "looping" as if i hadn't bet, or folded. , but i can see the potential for a really cool game here! nice concept! 

Submitted

Cool and creative way to implement the Loop theme. Can see myself returning to this one!

Submitted

Classic gritty time loop, good stuff. I like how the audio and background color changes based on the location. I think a numbered selection system and more through list of actions could have improved the pacing.

Submitted

Really creative take on the loop! Playing a game like this feels nostalgic, and the mood shifts between areas are really cool.

Submitted

go east or die is such a funny start to a text based adventure. really cool submission :)

Hella creative dialogue and the panel looks very slick, I like it!

Good work.
