I really like the direction and concept of this game. Not only am I a big fan of The Beginners Guide but i really enjoyed this short but very unique experience. I think it does fit the theme "Strange Place" quite well. I really enjoyed the different segments/areas and have to say good job! Definitely a lot of work was put into this project. I do have some small issues if you plan on fixing/updating the game after the game jam. For one in the construction level there was an area where to objects intersected and as a result there was a visual glitch. In that level as well when you walk up the ramp it is super slow. I don't know if that was intentional or not but compared to rest movement it seemed out of place. in the start first level you see the shadow of the player capsule. And my biggest issue was the distortion in the maze level, which as a result was hard to play without getting nauseous. I really enjoyed the voice acting! Well done!!! Overall really good game jam game. I had fun playing it!

Cool little game, kinda meta I think, narrating your own game during the playtime.

I like how you leaned into the jam aspect and presented the ideas quickly, rather than try to make any one of them super polished. For me, the "blinking changes the world" stood out as especially interesting

Good! It reminds me of a horror game; I was afraid of getting a jumpscare at any moment! Overall, a really good game!

I thing there just to many objects in construction area, it's killing performance, and makes really hard to navigate anywhere. For example, I've got to the lift, it takes me upstairs where all paths are blocked, and it could be place with some reward or something. It is nice concept, but wished gameplay felt better.  Anyway, for 7 days game jam, very good job.
