I found the use of the infinite loop absolutely brilliant. Being trapped inside it was such a clever design choice. At first, I honestly thought it would be impossible to reach the second ending, the true one, especially since the old man at the beginning even says it’s not worth trying, that it won’t work. It reminded me of Groundhog Day (1993), where the character is stuck in a time loop reliving the same day over and over.
I think both endings are excellent. The first one feels meant for those who give up and accept the loop, believing there is no possible escape, which was exactly my initial experience. But when playing again and finally breaking free from the loop, the core idea became clear: you have to see things from a different perspective, or change the order of your actions.
Amazing game. The way it plays with time, the loop, and its eventual break, plus the intelligent use of variables, was incredibly well done. Seriously, incredible, man!
And thank you so much for organizing this game jam and doing the livestreams. The jam turned out to be the greatest showcase and promotional move for the engine ever.
