Use of the limitation
The character's neural switch, responsible for controlling sleep, malfunctioned due to a neural virus, causing him to become trapped in his own dreams. I interpreted the limitation as a sudden, deep, endless sleep. The lower the player's brain activity, the stronger the virus's influence becomes, so by solving math puzzles, the player must wake up before the virus completely takes over their mind

Cookies eaten

really fun approach! loved the art style and music, but the walking sound got really annoying after a minute and i wasn't sure in-game if there was anything else i needed to do besides solve the math.

I don't like doing mental math, but the examples weren't too difficult and the penalties for mistakes weren't harsh, so I enjoyed the game. True, I couldn't find any clues with the ghost except for sin and cos. Were there any more?

Developer

No, I planned to add information about powers of two on the second sign, but ran out of time. By the way, the signs themselves are a cipher (hint: the signs have different textures). If you feel like it, you can try to decode it, it's not too hard :) Thanks for playing the game!

First playthrough: yep easy questions, multiplication, oh, powers of two? well nothing I can’t handle- *sin and cos has entered the chat* Second playthrough: Oh, you can explore in this game, what is this, a note- *unit circle jumpscare*

Developer

:DD

It was originally intended that the world that can be explored is memory, and the notes with unit circle jumpscare are memories that can be used to solve sin and cos =D Thank you for playing the game!

I can't solve mathematical sinus and cosine functions. But the music in the game is cool.

Developer(+1)

Thanks) You can change difficulty to Easy in the menu, so you'll only need to add, subtract and multiply numbers up to 30 without any sin or cos.

I don't enjoy solving math but this was very fun to do because while you're solving you can explore and find the answers! Brilliant idea keep it up man good luck!
