A sudden tragedy leaves a man unraveling under the weight of his grief and memory. But as the walls twist and the shadows move, he begins to wonder are these echoes of the past, or is something far more sinister at play?

It's an interesting game, but I encountered some bugs, like falling to the bottom and getting stuck.

I was not the biggest fan of the gameplay or rather there could have been one more autosave inbetween and I encountered a few bugs but I loved your story idea and the visuals, it was quite unique and felt really personal which I always admire. As a cat owner myself, this got me.

Thank you so much for trying out our game! Our team is really glad you enjoyed it despite its shortcomings. Unfortunately, due to poor time management on our part, we didn’t have enough time to polish the game and fix all the bugs. We also had to cut a lot of content that would have made things clearer. For example, there was supposed to be a cutscene prompting the character to pick up a bat, but we had to remove it to save time.

We plan to release a more complete version after the jam ends, with improvements, bug fixes, and additional content and puzzles.

Oh, no worries, for all my whining, I hope it came through that developing games for free and especially for game jams is always bound to be stressful for everyone involved. I also have to say even though I was a bit frustrated while playing, I appreciated the full concept more and more afterwards while thinking about it. Just a unique point of view is so refreshing :)
