A very interesting and fun take on the theme of immortality combined with a time-based typing gameplay. Visually the game is stunning and audio work is top-tier. It incoorporates the tomato in a fun and engaging way with the tomatOS gimick which I enjoyed. The game was challenging, especially with the swapping of the keys which took me a second to understand when it first happened, overall a fantastic game, you guys did awesome!

Very interesting take on the theme! I love the aesthetic feel of the game, and the audio also complements it super well. The gameplay is essential a typing game but with a twist which I really enjoy since I like typing, but I find the difficulty super challenging. I kinda figured out the patterns of the swapped letters after a while but it would've been nice if I can full screen the game so I can see which key is which easier. I really like the narrative element of it and how some of the memories are straight up references to some stuff lol. Though I would've liked to see a better narrative pay off just to make it feel more impactful (maybe like glitching out crazy before losing, etc). Overall, I had fun with this one! Great work team!!
