Nice game! I had fun with the last time system!

Wow! This game is fantastic. This mechanic of replaying previous runs is implemented very well. And the ending is super cool! Loved it!

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! Love the art style! I found it kinda difficult to figure out what buttons went to which doors, so I ended up having to draw a map on a sheet of paper to solve all the puzzles, but I did like the exploration element of it!

Developer(+1)

Wooooooow!!!! I would love to see your drawing of the map. <3 It's soooo cool 

Submitted(+2)

Sure thing! I didn't draw the whole map, just the individual puzzles cuz I ran out of room on the paper lol (and I didn't do the desert area since that one was pretty simple)


Developer

Wow! This is so impressive! I'm so honored someone made a map out of my game. That's really cool. Thank you so much for playing <3

Loved the take on the theme, loved the narrative and artwork, however the game does get tedious very quickly, perhaps uncouple the previous loops movements from the current loops so i dont have to move in circles to get a previous loop to catch up. Overall extremely solid idea

The first time I played it, I had fun discovering the core mechanic, but it was frustrating not knowing that some buttons were spike traps while others opened doors. I was about to leave a negative review, but seeing so many positive ones stopped me. I went back, opened the game again, and played it with what I had learned—and it was simply incredible. I loved having to use old corpses as a bridge to cross the river, haha.

The music is perfect for this game: mysterious and atmospheric. Even though the game barely explains anything, that’s exactly where the magic lies—exploring, investigating, and figuring things out on your own. On top of that, the graphic style is simple yet effective. Very, very well done :)

Glad you decided to give it another chance! Yeap, spikes can be a bit annoying but I tried to mark spike buttons with a different sprite. Thank you for playing it!

artstyle seems simple but it was fun playing

Really nice game, I loved playing it. Maybe just a tad difficult to understand which one I'm currently playing, but it was really fun nonetheless. Puzzle were really nicely design, and the mecanic is quite fun

Continue to create game !

this was really cool, i loved seeing the dialogue of the different echoes who'd ended up in different stuations through out the game, well written dialogue. the music was great and the puzzles were great. my only nitpick is i would've liked a fast forward button, this could just be a me issue but my echoes got asynchronus pretty quick from me moving around a ton. overall very very good game though, absolutely one of my favourites on vibes alone, i see this doing well.

This game actually got me locked in so hard. There was something that keep me playing until the end even if the graphics and the concept were simple. Idk maybe it was the music or maybe just the curiosity of knowing what's behind the next door. Whatever it was, you managed to keep that mystery feeling alive all through the game and I love it because of that. Amazing jobb!!

Developer

wooow! I'm really glad you like it that much! thank you!
