In the distant future there's a machine that allows you to revive your memories. But sometimes people get stuck in them. It's not easy to get out, and if you aren't free in 72 hours then your brain dies.

You take the role of T, a Diver specialized in bringing out people from said loops. Will you be able to?

The game has two different endings, don't rush the last level and make your choice.

If you get stuck in a level and can't progress press "M"

Please wait at the barn for the key, don't go to the gate otherwhise you'll break the game and you'll have to restart

KNOWN BUGS: * Collisions with slopes are really finnicky, sorry * The UI isn't properly aligned sometimes (Most notably in the Gate level. The UI doesn't appear but you can press E anyways).

Such a great game, I love the music and the art, and the fact that you made a multiple ending story game in 3 days, great work!

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really appreciated the atmosphere in this game. Sure it had some quirks and bugs, but it's a jam game ! With a substantial amount of content may I add. Well done, I really enjoyed it, thank you for making this !

I kept falling through the ground and weren't really able to play :( I also felt the pace was a bit slow. But thank you for the game! It's always good to push the boundaries of what we're able to do and the art style definitely was cool.

Nice entry you made here. I had an issue with falling out of the screen and had to restart the game few times. But Overall very solid story driven little thing. Also very atmospheric. Good job!

The movement is a bit sluggish which makes it take a bit longer to get through than it probably needs to - especially alongside the fact that dialogue is unskippable (as far as I could tell). So, I didn't feel compelled to go back and see the other ending. The jumping/gravity is on the floaty side, but it doesn't matter much since the platforming isn't really important to the game. I did encounter *some* collision issues but luckily I never had to reset or press M to get unstuck.

The art direction was effective and I liked the monochromatic palette. The art assets themselves were a bit inconsistent with some being a little sketchy, and/or distorted/pixelated from being scaled up by a big factor. The game had a really nice atmosphere overall.

The story was interesting but a little hard to understand on its own. I don't think I would have understood the significance of what I was doing without reading the description. I found myself more invested in the post-apocalyptic setting than the relationship drama storyline, so I was a little bit disappointed that only the latter got explored in the end.

A bit slow movement.
But I really liked the arts :-)
A bit Fog would have been cool to add to the atmosphere maybe.
Nice !

I loved the idea, very original! The texts are very good, and the sound gives a completely different tone to the game. I had some problems with collisions and audio that stopped playing, but it is very good! Congratulations!
