Interesting Art style, vibe and animation. It feel like reading the Manga
Love the manga art style and use panels to show as a UI. It's really creative, and I love that. Very cool game 👏👏✨
The design direction and presentation are very compelling. Very good!!
the manga panel art style is so cool, love the black/white/red look! great job finishing it
The art style and the gameplay feel smooth. The cursed attack feels a bit OP (if not intentional for the story).

If no one got me, I know Curse -15 hp got me
The aesthetic choice is amazing. I love how the bg move left and right it make the panel look engaging all the time. The artist have to rest after this jam before they get arthritis lol
imo Curse is too powerful, I nearly won in first loop from just spamming curse. It is so reliable that I spammed it during the last fight and got reflected and died lol.
didnt know that there is another ending until I read other comment. Different outcome for looping too many time is a good taste!
cool game
The game's art style is amazing!
Very unique art style!
Thank you for playing our game!
Just finished the game. Overall, I found the game's concept really interesting. The title screen immediately caught my attention and made me curious about what kind of game it was.
What I liked most was the beautiful manga-style artwork and the way the game makes you feel like you're actually reading a manga while playing. The black, white, and red color palette also fits the Horror + Action theme really well.
The game starts with a manga-style story introduction. At first, I wasn't quite sure how the gameplay would work, but once the combat started, everything was easy to understand. It's a simple turn-based combat system presented through manga panels, which I found really creative. I also liked how dying and restarting a loop is presented as flipping backward through the pages of a manga.
On my first playthrough, I managed to finish the game without dying and got the ending where I successfully saved the twin sister. The combat felt a bit too easy, especially the Curse skill, which seemed pretty OP since I could use it repeatedly and hit all enemies, making most fights quite easy.
After that, I intentionally died several times to see what would happen. I discovered that the ending actually changes, with the twin sister becoming possessed and turning into a demon, leading to a horror ending. I really liked this idea! It shows that the Time Loop system isn't just about getting stronger after each death, but also comes at the cost of changing the story's outcome.
Overall, I think the team did a really great job, especially with the art direction and the unique presentation of gameplay through manga panels. I also really liked how the Time Loop mechanic connects to the story and affects the ending. With a little more development time to polish the balance and atmosphere, I think this game has a lot of potential to grow into something even better. Good work!
Thank you so much for playing our game so thoroughly and sincerely, and for discovering both of our endings!
Super cool art style and use of limitation. keep up the good work!
