The Yellow Wallpaper by WhenYouCantFindAFriend
I Made a game Inspired by the yellow wallpaper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1892. The story is told from the perspective of a woman who is suffering from a mental illness, possibly postpartum depression. Her husband John trivializes her suffering and prescribes her "rest therapy".

BUG FIX: I forgot to copy an invisible wall to the platformer level. The player can no longer get stuck outside the layout.

I missed some music or sounds
Cool entry.
Great game!
The presentation is quite excellent, but I also felt disoriented with things seemingly happening without reason or explanation. I don't know if that was intentional.
Good work!
maybe a little bit of introduction and explanation is missing
The level design was fun, and the movement felt okay (except for not being able to jump right after landing), but it would be nice if the level design could give me a little more hint where I was going; blind jumps downwards feel a little uncomfortable when falling in other places resets the level!
Thanks for making this!
