I like the overall  concept of the game, and I think the way you play with time fits the theme well. However, I don't think there's really enough guidance with what the player is supposed to do, especially in the first loop. I didn't even realize that there were objects that could be interacted with until the game had reset itself two or three times; some of them were so tiny that I didn't realize they WERE objects. Once I figured it out though, I was able to get through and I really liked the story. I also had a slight problem with playing in the browser; the window was too big and some of the objects I collected were hidden by Itch.io's links. Is it possible to change the resolution so the screen fits the browser window?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll think about how to make the objects clearer without giving them away. I tried several resolutions but itch.io's links still collide. Can you try playing in fullscreen? The button should be on the bottom right of the game window or you can enable it via the game's settings screen.
