Ah man this game was really awesome, I wish I coulda got through it all. I never worked out how I send items back in time? I got as far as getting the key and gun, but couldn't work out what to do next. Really like the music and vibe.

Thank you. It was a mission getting everything done in such a short time while learning to do something completely new at the same time.

@LetterAfterZ. Have a play with the RIP Drive when you are holding the key. I wanted more interaction but ran out of time.

Really digged the style and the mood. The music together with the art made it compelling. Took me a little bit of effort to figure out controls (use up arrow key to interact and space to select menu options for anybody else struggling) Great effort!

i haven't finished this game just yet but from what i've played so far i really like the art and mood. it sets a deep feeling of melancholy for me right from the beginning, which is awesome.

my only criticism would be that i wish there was some kind of indicator of how long i had left until time loops back again, kinda like a timer. good work though!

We didn't complete the game but thought the mood was excellent and I absolutely adore this song so that was a big plus! The spelling mistakes made us laugh as we were rushing like crazy in the last few hours and did a few things like that ourselves :D

@djayne Thank you for playing our game. Our team was also a couples thing. Two couples, like a double date that ran days over time. I'll have to look at the spelling issue. We are split between US and Commonwealth English, so spelling disagreements can happen.

Nice game!

The art, music and texts make for a great atmosphere.
I liked the idea, I am not a big player of those kind of adventure game so I didn't finish it but it felt quite polished.

On top of the bugs mentioned, I encountered another one:
If you rush to the RIP engine at the begining and open the interaction dialogue before the intro dialogue pops, the intro dialogue will try to take its place and it will result in a lock with an empty dialogue box.

Also I would like if you could press up to interact without having to stop!

Great job on this game 💕

A timer would be nice, but it's good!
