I like the visuals, sound effects and the games atmosphere. The gameplay is simple and pretty good. I don't really get the story. But overall a good jam game. Well done.

Thanks ! the story tries to capture short moments in life that seemingly appear insignificant, but for some reason keep coming back to mind. In the end, you realize you have been re-living those moments rather than big pivotal memories in your life !

Additionally, we wanted to let each player experience this differently, as you can technically ignore everything the game has to offer interaction wise, and therefore have a "boring"  play. Or go out of your routine, even just a little, to let unexpected things find you ! :) 

That being said, time didn't allow us to make more of said interactions that would make the story a bit clearer so definitely something to work on in the future :D Anyway thanks for playing !

Dang, I was not ready for that experience, absolutely stellar job on making a short narrative that can be easily put together as you progress through the story. The changing rooms (especially that space hallway area) just felt awesome to find. Loved that. And idk why picking up trash was shockingly fun, lol Good job

Developer

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it !

I like the style, and found the trash spear mechanic really satisfying! I was a little confused as to where to go after, kinda wish I could've spent the whole time exploring the station just picking up trash but that may just be me lol

Developer

Thanks ! tbh I reduced the amount of trash on most areas because I thought people would be annoyed at picking them, even though I liked it lol

I love the style and atmosphere. It is just like lost in some memories to find a way out...

Developer

That was so cool! From the shaders to the audio and atmosphere, I really enjoyed it. First time I played it I got a bit lost as I thought the game restarted itself but then I found out it was intentional. One piece of criticism that I can add is: I wish there was a better solution than the invisible walls, but limitations of the jam I guess.

Thanks so much for playing ! yeah we had a lot more that we wished we could have added but had to stop at some point :D
