Not my cup of tea. But at least you published something. That is more than a lot of others do!

Not my genre. Confused by the different size of the text. Good job!

I think I got into an endless loop and didn't really know how to get out/reach the end. The pacing of text feels like an explosion/visual novel but without all the bells and whistles that reward you as you read it. I thought it was interesting how it progressed based on the choices. Leaning more into the puzzle/mystery might have made it more enjoyable for me.

This is weird! I like the mechanic a lot, but I got stuck pretty quickly (at Door)—wish I’d been able to find out what happened next, but everything I tried either took me back through the loop or gave me a "Hmm no..." message.

I'm not a big reader, but I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I did, however, seem to get stuck after a decent few discoveries (I really feel like I've tried everything), so I am not certain if that is the end or if I am at fault for not understanding the puzzle. Good writing, but it would never hurt to have some background audio to spice up the mood. Keep on doing great work :)

That was silly and fun! I think I got caught in a loop but it was humorous and I'm glad you had a fun jam.
