i didnt understand what to do but this was mainly caused by issues with image and text rendering, unfortunately :(

the strange vibe was well done in my opinion with the main character trying to figure out what’s happening.

i really liked the audio design, it was satisfying to click around stuff!

you can review our game too, we also focused on satisfying sfx a lot :)

I enjoyed the mini games and graphics.

The text was moving too fast to read it all.

Overall a very cool concept and it fits the theme

Im very curious what the 7 of you each did, this is quite an interesting concept and I'd love to know more about the design process. I think theres a lot of unique concepts going on here that with a bit more work could make for a very fun game!
