The Before Times

I couldnt understand very well, Im in an eternal loop? The graphics are very nice and the music is very chill.

I liked being able to sigh at random things in the environment. It's very nicely modelled, but I didn't know what to do after I interacted with everything? Do you stay in the loop forever?

Hey @felo07, thanks for playing! :) I'm also impressed by our composer and artist! Sorry about the looping! We had a last-minute bug that broke the game-end condition! We've pushed an updated version now.

Hey @david-u, thanks for playing! "Sigh" Sorry about the looping! We had a last-minute bug that broke the game-end condition! We've pushed an updated version now.

Hi! Really nice looking and sounding game, really gave me a very eerie vibe. However I was very confused as to what I'm supposed to do, and i'm guessing that's because of the bug that occurred, so im sorry to hear that that happened :(

The transitions in the music and lighting were very well executed. With some more challenging puzzle elements this idea could have a lot of potential.

It's hard to rate this game for sure. I would say it is more an experience than a game. The mood is amazing, graphics and music are top notch. As for the looping mechanism, it's a coding problem i'd like to challenge myself to solve! In any case good job!

Hey! This is a great entry! :) I was genuinely scared when I realised I was in a loop (P.T PTSD) After I realized this wasn't a horror game I enjoyed the excellent soundtrack and ending. Super nice job with the mood, 5/5

Got to the end. Nice looking game and with great mood, I didn't truly get the meaning but it looks like there's one in there. Solid entry anyway. Good job!

this game move me. I don't know if you intend to how a deep massage, but I found some similarity to some personal problem. great sort experience 10/10

Hi! Amazing mood, too bad this game is so short. I don't know why, but at some point I expected to see my reflection in the mirror;) At first I actually went through all possible interactions, that's why I finished this game quite fast, but when I tried to play it without any interactions, then it's infinite. Great job!

Amazing atmosphere. Even after I lowered my guard from expecting a jump scare the environment felt very eerie. I wasn't really sure what was going on for most of the game apart from the looping. I did like how the lights got brighter as you progressed. Overall I could tell when I was progressing but not always why or how. Your entry was put together very well. :)

Felt like Tim Burton making a film about his confinement. Graphics are really good, don't know if you done all of it yourself but it work pretty good with the atmosphere. Felt a bit too much stuck a loop rather than going deeper. Even if it's clear that you worked on the "introspective" way of translating deeper and deeper, it felt more like I was going higher and higher with lights increasing, music and at the end the call finally happening. Very well done !
(PS : I'm pretty sure each of level we are teleported at the beginning of the scene and lights values increases but you should find a way to make this
imperceptible)

This one was very well put together! Unfortunately I'm not sure whether or not this looping bug that you've mentioned has been fixed or not, as I interacted with almost everything I could find and I couldn't find any indication that I cleared the game or not :sweat_smile: On the brighter side, the art, audio and just the overall atmosphere was executed incredibly well (though note, I would probably recommend adding some minimal anti-aliasing next time you work on it to bring the quality up even further)! Good work on this one :)

I kept jumping on the stairs but it never ended , on the other way the graphics and the audio fits in a very cool way , It will be cool to see how it ends

Interesting concept and nice graphics. There are some minor issues: near clipping plane is way too far, speed of step sounds doesn't match speed of movement at all, there is noticeable teleporting when going between rooms and lighting looks a bit unnatural. Other than that it is solid entry. Good job!

Nice little game. I was a bit lost, so I didn't went trough. But I liked the graphic and the sound was pretty nice.

I was definitely on edge for a while expecting it to be a horror game, but once my nerves had settle I was sold on the looping concept. Really neat game!

Cool loop, but i expected something scary but nothing happened. But i really liked it,fun audio and nice gameplay.

Absolutely expected it to be a horror game. After getting past that, it was a fun little experience. The way the character explained it was sunny outside while it was black was a bit off. I think if that was fixed it might've helped the creepy atmosphere a little. Otherwise good job!
