I think the idea of a loop was very well expressed in this game where we can really feel it. However the character got stuck after I talked with someone so I couldn't continue. I think some more fun elements could have been interesting to add to the gameplay!

Interesting take on the theme, but I was always stuck on one guy on day 2. I tried the game twice, so I am not sure if this is a bug, but the game doesn't seem to do anything after that.

Hey @batovski @lev4iks @puzz13 !

Very very pretty entry ! The pixel art is on point !

The sound design is simple but efficient, it's great that you had the time to add feedback sound on most of the actions (like drinking the coffee).

I did read in the description you mentionned some bugs and clipping but I have to say, I found it absolutely great that the guy that says "another face in the office" litteraly doesn't give a shit about collision, just passing through with not a care in the world, I think it suits him very well !

The world is well built, I did have some expectations when you mentionned secret interactions that I wished would've been in the style of early pokemon or zelda gameboy games (like pressing a button against a vase or a bush or a corner and discovering something hidden).

Well done to you all and keep up the great work !

Feel free to check out my entry and share your opinions with me

Cheers

Really cool idea. Loved the mood created by a great pixel art and really well made sound effects. Nice work!

There are some small visual bugs of sprite sorting![The_Roop_fJ02oeYPGQ.png](///raw/1fb/53/z/39932.png)

To get a secret ending, try to find hidden action on the last day! NOT ALL OBJECTS shows "F" button to interact...

Art design is great. Few sprites feel like they are off (like trash bin), but all the others are very well done.
Sound design feels nice - good SFXs, nice ambient office sound.
Overall - game is very polished: all the arts for tutorial, scene transitions, game page.

But gameplay lacks - feels very boring. Honestly, I dropped it after second day. I feel like I would've played longer if walking speed and timelaps during actions were faster.

Nevertheless, I feel like those issues can be fixed, if you wish to fix them - other aspects of the game were made very solid.
