Amazing game! Love the plot and the music, neat drawings and overall idea and atmosphere.

Discovered Endings 1, 2 and 4, but was unable to get Ending 3, out of curiosity looked it up in the CSV :)

Captivating narration! It would be nice if I could scroll text; sometimes there would be a line of text above where I could see.

Got to give the unique art style some credit, it certainly made it stand out among the crowd.
I can't blame you for any mistranslations or odd wordings, if english isn't your first language it isn't your first language, but there were a few moments where I wondered if I missed something you intended for me to know.
Atmosphere and art are the strong sides of this one. Keep up the good work.

Really liked the presentation of this one! Point-and-click adventures are something I pretty rarely see in game jams so it was cool to see an attempt at it here. I'll have to come back to this one at some point to find some of the other endings!

不明觉厉, 凶手是他? 还是她? 还是它? 还是我? 根据标题和观察者的话, 也许我就像小白鼠一样被丢入他们精心设计的牢笼, 其他的"我"也在不断经历着相似的"轮回", 或者是自己每次在轮回但清除了记忆, 所以谁是凶手也许并不重要, 重要的是观察者想要怎样的结果...

I really loved the sketchy and scribbly art style, the music has a very mysterious and point-and-click vibe to it, which is quite intriguing. What you've done here is pretty interesting.

It's also fascinating that there seems to be a cool metaphor woven in with the elements you've created. My favorite was this one.

I think the only aspect that seemed a bit off to me was the somewhat cartoonish design of the arrows—it kind of takes away from the mysterious vibe. But other than that, everything here is quite intriguing. I can definitely envision this growing into a larger project.
