On repeat? No inventory, nothing. But okay, I managed to advance a few tables, some pawns attacked me and other strange things happened. It was very pretty and the music created a nice atmosphere. Then finally, with no way through, I decided to \u201cjump\u201d and fall into the void. A boss fight ensued in which all the pins I had collected were useless. I died.\n\nSecond game, an infinite loop: I can only do two tables, the objects respawn in a loop.\n\nI don't know if I was just unlucky. In any case, the concept is great and the art direction is really cool.\n","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1163402,"author_name":"TheeCrustaceanStation","author_uid":"theecrustaceanstation","epoch":1759802721,"text":"Unfortunately atm the game is at a state where it is basically unplayable, theres an actual game buried somewhere here i swear","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1164540,"author_name":"Arnazian","author_uid":"arnazian","epoch":1759823892,"text":"Holy crap the art and atmosphere is out of this world O: \n\nI didn't really understand the gameplay, i tried dodging the collectors attacks but didn't know how to attack back or how to continue on forward ","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1167358,"author_name":"Psevdonim","author_uid":"psevdonim","epoch":1759853378,"text":"Unfortunately, as I\u2019ve gathered from experience and from the comment above, the game isn\u2019t very playable \u2014 I feel for you.\nI restarted it about ten times and managed to see a few locations.
