Interesting game that has a nice, unique approach to looping rooms. Also-- I haven't seen many Unreal games, so this was cool to experience! The atmospheric music and sound effects complemented the game very well. Good job! :smile:

@noah-kuhn @anrqangel thank you for playing! This was the first time I've made something with Unreal (previous jams were in Godot). It was fun to work with!

I loved the music, the graphics are great - nice wallpaper texture at the start. Very dreamlike mood. Good work!

Pretty cool, I liked it! What's in the floor that makes it sound so lumpy? haha :)

A bit empty in term of props but I really liked the graphics, textures, sound design. In term of mechanics it works well with the theme, well done !

This is a simple and okay little jam game. It's a bit basic for a UE4 game, but my guess is that you are new to the engine, so it's okay. Overall is this an okay little jam game that fits the theme very well.

Great atmosphere! I found the footstep sound a bit grating and loud.

Well done!

Cool game, like the theme of the loop and the atmosphere was spooky and mysterious!

The background music really sets the tone with this one!
Gameplay-wise, progression felt very smooth and steady, the pace was overall very well adjusted!
Liked the puzzle at the end especially!

The game looks nice, and I had fun with the last puzzle. I would probably instead make more puzzles in isolated rooms that make use of the loop as opposed to having a few rooms linked, and then the final puzzle all in one room. I think you can get creative with finding the right combinations of locks to engage!
