Imagine life as literally doing the same thing over and over again, sounds sad, but its harsh reality for many people in the world. The endless loop of working yourself to death, drinking coffee, and sleeping, no time for hobbys or anything enjoyable.

There is no escape from it, or is there?

Maaaaan, this was so grim! :smile:

Great sound effects and music, they added to the mood!
I loved the little mini games, they were just the right kind of simple to add to the cruel reality. For example I expected the filing to be drag and drop, but the fact that is was just clicking and it sorted automatically was just perfect!

Thank you for the game!

Quite a sad ending. Loved the music and graphics, the art style really pulled me in for the experience.

Wow, very polished art and sound, also the plot it's quite sad :/. I played it a few times, please tell me if there is a plot twist after hundred days or ? :D Very solid entry. Also I like the way you presented the date

@tomeks i did think about adding some sort of easter egg like "come on do it already" but i completely forgot about it, thanks for noticing the date thing! i was worried if it is clear what it is presenting but apparently we did a good job on it

WHAT THE HELL
Ok so the mood category is definitely yours.
Very chilling game, the art style and music fit, it's more of an interactive storytelling experience instead of a game, so there's not a lot of gameplay but thankfully the twist comes in very quickly.

I just think the theme interpretation was kind of obvious, this was also the first idea I had when I saw the theme.

The mood is on point. It's a really well made game, short, and simple. Loved it!

solid 5/5 for mood. Did you add a sort of easter egg after like 10 days? i want to know. Also you were the guy who made bat-man last year right? that was a solid entry.

Damn, this hurt. But in the best absolute way possible! The art is absolutely stunning. The sound effects and music complement the whole experience beautifully. The animations were absolutely on point. With a little more loop elements, this is an art piece that could really go a long way.

It's a weird one coz it nails solid 5s in a lot of categories, but does not relate to some others. Maybe opt out next time? (says a lot that this is the only thing I can criticise, huh)

@namidasai yeah i was really tempted to opt out of the humour category, i guess i should have done that
Dominium11author6 Oct 2020, 13:39
@beavergames oh god, i didn't expect anyone to actually recognise me, that's so nice! sadly no easter egg, although it's a nice idea

Very fun experience!

yoo that was cool, is there any other endings if you don't "break the loop"?

I think you did a good job of efficiently conveying the monotony of the loop with a few simple actions. That tight design coupled with good visuals and audio made it very effective at what you set out to do. Good job!

Wow this is a great game! the visual and audio aspects are really well thought out and the story really works with the theme. great work!

Hey, can I say? Didn't like it! W t hell! Yeah, I'm a depressed suicidal ass I am. But making art that just straightforwardly breeds such emotions is dumb! It's not deep or smth, the causes may be true, but listing your problems is just like begging for pity. At best you will attract others and form a toxic self-pitying group, which will feel better together but stuck and hopeless. love the art btw;)

This idea fits the theme well. And cool art style. Good Job

Great graphics, nice audio, definitely full score in mood.

I would like there to be more actions to do and multiple endings (depending on those actions).

In this state, it's more of a depressing short story than a game.
