This is a simple walking and talking game made on the Bitsy platform. You can interact with characters to find out why you are stuck in a loop. It is inspired by the film "A ghost story".

I got stuck trying to talk to the deer shaman-- the path didn't load up the next part of the map. I did get to play enough of it to get a good idea of the overall game, though. I enjoyed it, and the aesthetic is very nice! :smile:

The loop took me by surprise when I was trying to find the deer. I really enjoyed the mood and the graphics. Controls are a bit slow but it works well.

It could be really nice with some music and fx. Good job on this one!

I made it to the end. Neat game! The secret fish room was helpful :)

Wow, very cool. Cohesive style and story, reminds me a lot of "Adventure". I love how simple the controls are, really lets the player get immersed in the story.

Were I supposed to give that thing that asked me the potion the potion? I couldn't find it later.

Really like this, it's still really fun to play! :D I like the little details you've added into the final game! Would go wonderfully with some interesting music but is also great to play as-is :)

Kicking it up old school. I like it. Would this have been eligible for the compo? I don't know a lot about Bitsy, but it looked like everything was original and done by the same person.

maybe the hit about talking to the dear was a bit on the nose... but is a nice cute game.

I loved the retro feel of the game, I felt like I was playing on a game boy

The strongest game I've played so far for this event, very calming and gripping simultaneously.

@galse87 You should have met him in one of the beginning rooms. Not sure if you got back there or not?

Very dark and moody, good job! :thumbsup:
I was a bit sad I couldn't find her in the end.

Very atmospheric. I enjoyed playing it. I completed the game without fully understanding what is going on. Are there multiple endings?
