I little bit of Groundhog Day, I little bit of wildly inaccurate and made up science, but most of all a loop that is just waaaaay too big.

It has a nice story and concept, but honestly, I am not a big fan of their execution.

Some things I didn't like are:
- The environment is way too big. The consequence of this is that the rooms both feel very empty and they take too long to travel through - which makes the gameplay a bit boring.
- The "transition" to the next iteration of the same day is nonexistent. After the experiment went wrong the first time, it took me a while to realize that me meeting the colleague and having the same conversation with her was not a bug, but a feature. I suggest to make it clearer that a transition is happening - maybe blur the screen for a while or something?
- There was not much to do other than running around in a loop and stopping on yellow markers. Maybe some puzzles would spice it up.

I think that with some more work put in, this can become a great game. But right now, what I'm missing is something to do (puzzles?) and a bit more polish.

That said, it's just my opinion and you should take it with a grain of salt. I don't mean to discourage you, please keep at it!

I really like the concept. On thing I would like to see is the normal walk speed just a little bit fast. but overall great job!

The concept is really nice ! Sinceyou are alone, I think we can't really complain about finitions : area a bit too large and the loop could restart after the first time for example ! But really good job about it !! :)

Game was cool, anyway too big travels and I think you can't do much. Anyway the basic concept is interesting, it reminds me a bit Half-Life! Nice job! :)

So, I dont know if I missed something. But I kept repeating the experiment over and over and I guess thats it, right?
Nice mood.
