The player has to find and break the rules to escape ‘Loop' created by someone. Each time they die, they restart with a new item to use it for solving the next hidden rules.

FILM NOIR: Expression of fear, sadness, and loneliness. SHARED EXPERIENCE: Fear of being controlled. As the character tries to break the rules without hesitation and will doubt anyone who willingly accepts being ruled. HUMAN GENERATED ARTWORK: Every sprites on the map is drawn by me.

I really like the storytelling and the visuals in this game, the animations and cutscenes, in particular, are very well done. I do have one small point regarding the camera angle. It feels a bit too close to the character. I think it would be better if it were pulled back a little. Overall, it’s a fantastic game. 👏👏✨✨

the break-the-rules story and the moonwalk are so good, amazing work!

Damn this is suuuper good! Sorry but I couldn't find the knife or  get the sledgehammer even I had a dark spell
I spent almost an hour to play this one and it's not getting boring, the story is great, art style is great (even I did moonwalked the whole game). There's some creepy elements hiding in cozy game without jump scares. Love it!

One thing for me the lockpicking is a bit frustrated, but the mechanic of it is pretty cool.

Thank you so much for playing my game. Your feedback means a lot!!! Again, I’m really sorry... the game has THE bug that stops you from picking up the sledgehammer(reaching the final scene this patch is not possible D: ), I'm trying to fix it, so it should be patched after the game jam ends. Moonwalk animation is intentional. I personally liked it.

Hahahaha the moonwalk is a gimmick though, can't wait to play the full version!

Okay, I have said this to other entry but , this might be the winner of this jam. The use of the loop system to progress the story is very good. I am so invested with this game's story and spent so much time on it already. Just to be struck at the sledgehammer part NOOOO why I couldn't pick it up which using the dark magic. What did I do wrong or missed?

The atmosphere is very chill and cozy with the sense of eeriness. The art design is also very cute, stylish and also give an unsettling vibe.10/10 How do people make this kind of game in one day?

Thank you so much for playing, and you really liked it.  Tbh, your feedback means a lot, and really encouraged me after days of work without sleep lol. And.. I’m really sorry that the game has a major bug that stops you from reaching the final scene. that's on me for not testing the game after I uploaded the web build. I’ll patch it once the game jam ends... Thanks again for the bug report and feedback (✿◠ᴗ◠)

Mama I'm a criminal!

I didn't finish it yet but I really love it! The gameplay is good, breaking rule to make the story go forward. Storytelling is good, dialogues might be a bit too long but it's ok. Great game!

Criminal Criminal...

Wow, thank you so much for playing! :D I couldn’t agree more with you... I planned to deliver as much story as possible and made the dialogue intentionally ‘very long,’ which isn’t a good idea, lol.
