We interpreted countdown as our time on earth, and the game imagines what happens after that countdown is over.

One of those games that asks for patience and doesn't hold your hand. Putting the pieces together both physically and narratively was very fun and an interesting gaming experience. Hands down the most unique game I've played in the jam so far. Thank you for making and sharing this!
Thank you so much! It's very pleasing to hear that people take the time and solve the puzzle, it's very easy to quit in such a game (especially during a game jam)
Thank you for leaving a warm review!
Really cool story and the art style is amazing!
Cool Art Style
What a fascinating game. I was frankly, extremely confused at first, but after discovering the differences in text when matching features things got way easier as i could start checking if my choices were right. Experiencing hell also gave me a good chuckle. Artistically this game hits on everything i think it's trying to do, the representation of people through cutout caricatures to piece together their memory fits perfectly. Gameplay get's the short end of stick, but ultimately would be fixed with a better onboarding process. It's a game jam though, all of our games need better onboarding lol.
Will be keeping an eye out for any continuation of this, has potential for a short story game.
A very strange but lovely game of yours. Very nice art you have in your own hustled game designe. I dont have much too say exepct you are the best game dev ive seen in my whole entire life!! You will be rich and i will be the first mate who supported you along your hustly journy for richness. Please make sure to rate my game too,
remember this name, Malin. Beni Malin.
We don't now what to say, thank you so so much!
It's been amazing seeing all the positive feedback in the last few days. This is the best feedback we were ever given. Right now we are only students participating in game jams in their free time, but it's amazing to hear we will have support when we get to make a bigger project.
We will be sure to check and rate your game!
Thanks again for the warm review 🙏
The surreal collage style is really striking, and the face-building idea creates a memorable atmosphere!
I'm such a sucker for this art, this is absolutely oozing with style, amazing job!
Presentation is fantastic! I love the Dada-esque photomontage style of the game! Main critique is it felt short (definitely a good problem to have for game jam game) and I would have loved some feedback when I got a person "right" before the end screen. Maybe some more dialogue explaining that person when I get the portrait right? Maybe some more exploration of who I was?
Great work! One of my favourites of the jam so far.
Really happy you loved the game and the style! You are right about feedback, a few people pointed it out, if we were to rework the game in the future we will definitely add this mechanic.
Thanks!
Such an interesting visual approach and take on the theme. Great job!!
Great atmosphere, stunning graphics, fantastic music, and well-written text. Awesome! The font idea is great.
I'd like to see an indicator showing that a certain character has been collected. Maybe just a simple “Wow, you collected character *Name*” message.
Glad you liked the game!
That's a great idea, we thought about adding it but didn't have enough time to implement... Although not in the main game, once you finish the story you will have a screen that shows how many characters you solved and what ending you got, that why you can restart to solve all characters and endings😊
i lowkey don't understand this, my fault.
Wow the visuals and vibe here were really fantastic! I appreciated that the story snippets felt so much like one side of a half-remembered conversation, helped put me in a headspace more than I think a more complete and literal story with this setup might. Very cool interpretation of the theme too, I liked this one narratively a ton.
Lovely snippets of storytelling and super cool visuals, always love seeing collage in games, still very unexplored! Thanks for making this :)
very cool!
The visuals are so well-done and trippy. This entry is really unique experience!
Everything about this is so juicy and wonderful: the theming, the visual direction, the audio. Just stellar work, this is a really special entry to the jam
I really love the visuals and the way the story is told! Great game!
Oh I really loved this, the descriptions for the people were so poetically written & this had a really cool style and graphic design!!
There are already many comments here, but I really have to tip my hat to this project. The graphics?! What an original idea. The concept is extraordinary, and the art style really enhances it even further. It’s such a unique way to tell a story, the different fonts are a really clever design choice. The sound design is incredible. It couldn’t be more fitting. Wow!
We were blown away by everyones positive fidback! thank you for leaving a review for the game!
Stylish and exceptionally executed
