Oh wow, this was a truly unique experience. Huge respect for the artistic vision and the way you delivered it.

I liked it a lot. All aspects of the game work together to make a mental state of spinning, and I really felt bad playing this game, but in a good way. Nearly perfect experience. The only thing I would change is pace of the game. Sometimes it felt too slow, even though probably it was something that you were trying to achieve.

Hey, this was such a unique experience man. I really enjoyed the atmosphere you created and how much it made me feel part of this terrible, gloomy daily routine. The last part was especially neat, as I was thinking "oh there must be a happy ending or something that breaks the loop." and maybe there is but I never got to it. But I like how it subverted my expectations. It got to the point where a whole day would be passing by in fractions of a second, so I wondered how many days I witnessed this character living through this life. Anyways, super cool dude. I especially liked the sound design here it was terrifying and very atmospheric. :)

Very interesting take on the theme and great story telling/atmosphere! Completely unexpected, well done on this!

Absolute cinema! You’re very talented, great job man.
And also, please spin...

yeah this is probably exactly what juniper was thinking of when she chose "spin to win" as the theme. Really cool visuals here but these kinds of games really aren't for me. Still I could tell this game was very well made so good job dude!

The atmosphere and the vibe were amazing. This honestly deserves way more ratings. Good stuff!

It took me way too long of sitting there before I realized that repeating bit at the end never stops lmfao.

I really liked this! A wonderfully contemplative little piece metaphorical to many things in daily life- or daily life, itself, for some. Well done!

So, I played till the infinitely accelerating part of the game, and what can I say.
I see this game as an interpretation of loop, rather than spinning, but still see the vision you were going to. Creativity & Theme 4/5

Visuals were on a high level. I loved the style and composition. The room also felt constricting enough to set anxiety in the player. Also the part where the game concentrates you to some point of the screen and just hits you with sudden "enough" is cool. Reminds you're in the loops after all.
Visuals, Seriousness - 5/5

The only complain about the audio I have is the volume of the game. I had to play with my Windows volume level set on 2% and my audio interface volume set on 60%. I'd recommend setting the volume level lower so it wouldn't jumpscare you as you enter the game. But the quality is also high, just would be better without my headphones clipping on the uprising sounds in the game (yeah, it was clipping even on 2% + 60%...)
Audio 3/5
 
I did enjoy the game, it's small enough to be complete in the way is it right now, just needs some polishes here and there and it's definitely a solid Steam-worth project. Good job! Enjoyment 4/5

thank you for such detailed feedback! yeah, i wanted the game to jumpscare the player at the start, showing how unpleasant it is to wake up every day like that, but maybe i overdid it xd

I was using a touchpad laptop which meant my sensitivity was really low and I tried spinning for a solid minute on the "please spin" part but even after going decently fast nothing changed so I quit. Was there something more?

Developer

yeah, that was just the beginning of the game. there would be more if you had kept spinning

loved the gloomy atmosphere and storyline . Wished the cutscenes were shorter. Left us question ourselves at the end.

Big fan of the atmosphere and vibe of the game, but I really wish dialogues would go fasterm, second day felt like a drag. But I was so immersed on the first day and really think this game is very special, espessially for a jam game

Developer

you can skip dialogues by clicking the text while it is typing btw

I don't think I could do so in the elevator sections, was able in bed though, yeah

Wow. That was cool. Well done. I assumed the loop continued forever at the end I was worried by monitor was going to break
