This is very interesting, I love meta games like this, I would have liked it if there were less empty floors but that's mostly it. You got some great postfx going on this takes the very simple aesthetics to another level. I wonder what game this was about ? Did you really publish a game on steam ? If so I'd love to hear about it !

The robot jumpscare definitely got me good! And I like the take that this is a walk down memory lane. Very meta-textual take on the countdown :)

Cool meta elements and genuinely tense at times. Loved seeing some of the screenshots throughout it but wish there could have been a little more at the end. Good stuff though!

An introspective life-changing journey. This deserves a full version with the complete 2026 floors of staircases experience.

Also, I agree that Kyle is creepy and should be thrown away (down the stairs), although he will never be as terrifying as Floor 40.

Cant wait to be in the sequel, when i started playing in my head i was like "oh no im going to be going around in circles a bunch, im gonna hate it" but after the first 5 or 6 times around i really got into it, you've paced it just enough to have interesting stuff happen while not going overboard
Welldone!

Very meta, would be cool if you could explore more of the final area. I wonder if this comment will make the cut in a sequel :P

Really unique game; I love the narrative behind it. It feels like a game made by developers for other developers. Keep going!
