Really nice game. Sadly I didn't read the note on the game page about the incorrect equation, so got stuck (I also found some of the writing a little hard to read - "Is this a zero? A one? An eight, a nine?"). My play (of the web version) was then interupted by a couple of bugs (freezing on the computer which was fiddly to get out of, and a game ending crash on the safe) and I stopped playing for now. I really liked it though. The once grand, run down hotel is well portrayed, the puzzles are engaging, and the atmosphere is very well crafted. A little bite of Outer Wilds style play in its own well chosen setting. I hope to come back to it after the jam if the bugs are fixed.

I really liked the timer that added just a tad of stress to my playthrough haha! The art was also very clean and cohesive. Great job!

I really like the concept and the artstyle :) For me it felt that the more progress you do the more fun it gets - especially at the end when after the timer you feel a bit of like a speedrunner haha. Thanks! Had lots of fun playing!

Loved the art style! Well-executed.

This really came together... Nice work!  I love the design and the 2 minute timer was stressful(in a good way)  :)

Love the execution, game did crashed after a couple of loops, not sure if its cause I was interacting with the safe when time ran out?

Developer

Thanks for catching that, it seems that when you try to input safe code when the diode is lit, then the game crashes. We have missed this issue, because it is only present in WebGL version, and not in Windows one.

Looks really nice although most of the assets seem to be made by a third party. The puzzles are engaging but the time loop mechanic seems pretty superficial and unnecessary. Sadly I wasn't able to finish the game because I couldn't figure out the computer login data. Isn't the code 1764?

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! We actually made pretty much all of the assets ourselves. There was unfortunately an issue with one of the equation for the puzzle that we didn't catch.

Ah okay, then I would like to apologise and correct myself: The game looks really good!
