How does your game fit the theme?
Everything in this weird world runs on a countdown. The player must be at the right place at the right time to restore each fragment needed to reach the one calling him. If he fail this cursed world collapses. And everything restart again, except what the player has learned.

Great game, but unfortunately it doesn’t respond to keyboard input, although the mouse works just fine. I tried installing it, but it didn’t help. This is the second time this has happened to me, so it’s probably something on my end. Sorry I can’t provide proper feedback
Hey, did you try zooming on the wasd panel, because at first you don't have moving input. So maybe it's not on your keyboard. Try that it's gonna work i think. Hope it helps.
It did help! I am not the kind of person to read descriptions, so I totally missed it
Don't worry, it's my fault i should have put more time in the onboarding!
cool project. i played for quite a few minutes but i dont think i progressed much, i got just the aswd and e, not sure what e does. walked around quite a bit. interesting, even if i didnt really get it. awesome presentation.
Thanks man, i really should have put more time in the onboarding, there is the guide on the page if you want to try it more, but E let you interact with the three key object of the game, after you restore them by zooming on them when they appear.
Good atmosphere, even wondering around the level and just looking around was fun!
Thanks! I don't know how far you got, but I'm glad you had a good time with it.
Very interesting world with a cool mechanic, just a bit too confusing. I found the level design the most confusing part. With everything being so open, I wasn't sure where I should actually be heading. I also found the screen effects WAY too strong for me.
thanks for the feedback, i agree the LD is confusing, and the key elements deserved to be put even more in a spotlight knowing that they appears and disapear. Also it needs more feedback on what you are supposed to do. I see, the web version compression make it even more crunchy, it was a bit surprising.
Great Atmosphere and interesting mechanic! it somehow feels like putting together a jigsaw puzzle loved it!
Thanks man, i don’t know if you reach the end but i am happy you loved it!!
not yet, I played it a bunch to get what was going on. I finally saw the guide on the game page. i kept locking myself out of reaching the phone. but now i've made it to the forest when the horn sounds. have not gotten the helm quite yet . gonna come back to this in the coming days.
I see, i wish you good luck, hope you find you’re way in. If the guide is not enough i could help you a bit more if you feel so. But i think with this you can reach the end. And yes the phone is small for the importance of the element, i should have made this different, well I should have made the onboarding a bit different, but that's an understatement.
game is definitely quite confusing but the atmosphere is great and i bet you could've cooked with more time
thanks a lot mate! I wish i took the all 4 day to do this game
Good atmosphere! As already stated it lack guidance, so I don't know exactly what to do to reach the end.
Thanks a lot, i will make a quick guide with hint and so on tomorow. If you want to try again i would be pleased!
If you want a quick guide, i don't know where you end up but.
There are 4 signs Walk, Interact (E), Jump, Sprint ,but you only need 3 of them to finish the game -E is next to the market -Jump is in the forest
Tips : Restore the stairs at the spawn and go on top you can see all sign from that view, including the Sprint.
1.Market zone : First one in the loop
- At some point you will hear a phone call stay at the market and the phone will appear. You have to zoom it and then get into the market to interact with it.
Now head to the forest directly.
2.Forest zone :Second in the loop
-After you will hear a Horn, during the horn a boat helm will appear next to the cabin fragment, you will need to zoom it and restore the cabin fragment to get inside and interact with the boat helm.
3.The Lake:
Once both zones are done, head to the lake ,the boat is on the lake down the road to the right of the spawn point. Zoom on the boat to bring it in, then interact with it and go on board.
I've managed to get to the end. The idea for the gameplay loop is very solid. Thanks for the guide!
Hope you like it, thanks!! You are one of the few to reach the lady.
A fellow horror submission :)
I love the atmosphere and the mechanic of looking at some text and suddenly have an ability, or looking at objects and they move into place. Couldn't really reach the ending but I like this one a lot
Thanks a lot, yes the game is quite hard in fact the time was too short so it lacks guidance but i would be please to help you reach this end. Also i will test you're game tomorow.
