Loved it! I don't know what it is, or how to do anything, but it was cool

Had trouble finding what to interact with and how, zooming seemed to work sometimes?
I was surprised by the progression here, felt some feels

I was down to like 3-5 FPS the whole time. :/
I also noticed a lot of physics glitches. XD

Very well polished! I love the art style, it's cohesive and not obvious that this game was made in 48 hours. :)
The interaction hitboxes on the pages was totally busted for me, it was a lot of guesswork and eventually I figured out I had to aim up and to the left, but it had me wondering if anything even happens in this game for a while.
I think this is a good walking simulator, the presentation is fantastic. The wall shifting animations is a cool way to evolve the story, but it doesn't quite fit the theme of one room. I personally think the worst part of this is actually the writing: boy loses girl into suicide is a played out combo imo, and there's not anything especially good about the execution here. It is, however, a Ludum Dare, and congrats on finishing such a polished entry!

Yah sorry everyone for the fps and collision problems :P. Trust me there were other things I tried and out of them this is the best that I could come up with in the time. Agreed the story is trash and it doesnt /really/ fit in the theme but I designed a mechanic without a game which I now think is a bad idea.
Nevertheless thanks for reviewing.

I just love the polish of the animations and the way that things shift from one shape to another. I love the concept of infinite repetitive items and the feedback you get when you solve one piece of the puzzle.
Everything ran fine on my machine, but I have a good video card so I can't speak for others. Otherwise, I also loved the mood and while the music was a bit repetitive, everything felt very cohesive and super polished.
On the downside, I had a bunch of collision issues and sometimes things were a bit odd...
Otherwise, full stars ahead, Cheers :)

Not my type of game, but some might like it

Great game, I like the changing scenery. Having the zoom button on screen would have made it more obvious, as it's a core part of the experience. Some minor collisions bugs, but handle several rooms at the same place may not be easy. Story was well writen, but sharing though with that brutal guy in pain was not fun. Keep up the good work !

Nice little experience you made there. Took me a while to figure out what was going on but I start getting emotionally involved, pretty cool entry despite of little bugs.

Amazing game btw - the idea (both spacial and narrative), the atmosphere, the model, even the basic soundtrack that fit the piece real well. Good work!
