Wow, what a cool little game! I loved playing it. The concept is interesting and thoughtful, levels are easy to traverse, yet nicely done, the music is awesome and the graphics are just outstanding. Congratulations! Great game with a potential of growth!

Wow I think this might have been one of my favorites from this jam! It's such a clever design I was racking my brain on the third level for a while! Seriously great job guys!

This game is so wonderful. And the painting is very attractive. I'm going to play it now!

The controls are really unresponsive at times. Other than that nice little game. Five stars for the music!

Gorgeous game! The graphical composition also adds atmosphere. Sometimes when moving, when I hold down the key, the girl's model sticks a little

I wanted to try it so bad after seing the screenshots but the game keeps crashing after a few seconds and then i can't start the .exe
Got a message saying it can't access the device or that i don't have the rights... (Even when executing as an admin) :sob:

But damn these graphics look dope !

@stone-studio I just had the same issue with another game so i looked into it a bit more. Turns out it was my antivirus that was being mean. Deactivated it and everything worked, so now i can write a real review...

AND OH MY GOD did i like this ! The concept is really cool, the graphics are so cute, the ambiance is very well made. I cheesed the last screen of the last level by roaming a bit before getting to the bed and it was actually so satisfying to randomly get it right !

Great job to you ! :sparkling_heart:

The design of dividing the screen into four compartments is subversive, and the game mechanics are interesting, but the guidance for players is poorly done. The graphics style plays a great role in the rendering of the atmosphere, but the music makes people feel a little out of place.

This mechanic is so interesting!The art and music are amazing! (repeating the challenge is a bit of not good)

The mechanics is so great! Love the art style and the music, and especially the gameplay. This "loop" mechanics give me a felling of exploring the deeper and deeper dream, and I really enjoy the mood. This is the best ld game I have played in this LD48! Good Job!

A super interesting and fun little game. I overall love the puzzles, but it can be a bit difficult to see how long you have to go, and sometimes she moved a bit long then I want her to do. But still a really good jam game. Well done.

I really like the twist on the theme. Doesn´t seem to be your "standard idea". Quite like that! The art style was great. Would have loved to play more levels. If you want to be picky, you could have just shown the windows/monitors that you have to use in that particular level. But thats just give some improvement feedback! Great game!

Very very nice and novel concept, would definitely love to see more levels added, and perhaps more story as well. Art style was nice, but issue is from the camera perspective it can be a bit hard to see where the tiles are, so that could be improved. Also the input takes a bit of time to respond, so it is very hard to move just one square. Overall very nice game.

I love the concept, but as suggestion, improve the instructions for the player in level 1, some sort of tutorial would be helpful, I didn't understand what was going on the first minutes and I didn't get why I finished level 1.
Apart from that, Sound, graphics, gameplay, loved it <3

Very cool but at the same time hard puzzle game for me :P . I gave up even on the very 1st level, maybe did not grasp full rules of the game. Also, Developers screen is empty =(

Really cool game, I loved the mechanics! The character reminds me of the little nightmares series. It was sometimes hard to see how far you had to walk in a certain direction, maybe you could improve that? Other than that, great work!

Wow. What a feeling. What a mood.
Love it.
Found the puzzles pretty easy and most of the time the biggest problem was playing it "x" Time to see all the screens.
Keep up the good work guys!

Nice; cool mechanic! Definitely an innovative take on the theme! _kind of_ a memory game (not quite, but similar). Would be nice if the grid marks on all 4 screens were super clear - I had to lean in a squint on some of them to get my distances right!

Art is charming (both illustrations and in-game models), and the music is nice. Great entry!

WoW!! This game is REALLY awesome. The atmosphere and the gameplay when i figured out what was happening was something i've never seen before! Really amazing job! I think the music doesn't QUIIITE fit with the aesthetic and mood you are going for , something a little more dreamlike and spooky would have worked. Also some simple sound design would go a long way! I would love to play something like this on my phone or switch and hope you continue with it!

Awesome game mechanic, the idea is very original and entertaining ! The art is beautiful.
I like the background music, I think it's fit well with the game design.

A minor drawback : the window size is big and cannot be resize, maybe change to full screen or support window resize.

I would like more fx, make the win more juicy.

Great work :clap: !

Very original mechanic with nice graphics and music. Find it kinda hard to move only 1 square (maybe it's intended to be that way). Great job!

awesome work, art and music are great, gameplay wise I would have preferred the puzzles to start with all available screens to complete it, but is a minor complain, good job!

@fer9001 Thanks so much for the advice! We're thinking about this too, it's a bit difficult and needs some serious thought LOL
@betovf Very sorry for the operational problems! Didn't have time to change it at that time, thanks for the advice and the like!
@duck-reaction Some people like the music, others don't think it's quite right haha! Maybe everyone is so different. Thank you so much for your suggestions and likes!
@dagostino-audio Thank you so much for liking it! All your suggestions are also very inspiring, so let's keep up the good work!

My only critique is that it felt very short, but the puzzle mechanic is unique and engaging, the art style is impressive, and the music is nice to listen to! Love the game!
