How does your game fit the theme?
Our game embodies the theme "Loop" both mechanically and narratively. The player controls a character who must reach the Rotor (a time-reversal mirror) within a limited time to become their reverse self. This successful version is preserved in the timeline. However, if the reverse self fails to escape, they are permanently trapped in a time loop. Each run resets time, but only the most successful iteration "survives." The game is built entirely around this core loop—a cycle of self, time, and consequence.
